Amidst all the warranted coverage of White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci’s disturbingly vulgar tirade about Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon, the CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News ignored the poignant White House event honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the June 14 congressional GOP baseball shooting.

While those two newscasts and ABC’s World News Tonight spent roughly nine minutes and 15 seconds on Scaramucci (with some technical cutting short ABC’s coverage), ABC highlighted the emotional ceremony but only in the form of a 22-second news brief.
