[See NewsBusters for full story.] Joe Biden’s polling is cratering. The three latest surveys out have his approval rating at 40, 42 and 40. Yet, you wouldn’t know that if you watched the network morning and evening newscasts in December. The Biden protection racket was in full force as ABC, CBS and NBC allowed a combined 75 seconds on the Democratic President’s tanking numbers. During December, NBC’s Today and Nightly News avoided all talk of the Democrat’s slumping polls. On ABC, Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos mentioned the bad news for just nine seconds. The sum total of CBS’s mentions of bad polling news came on December 12. In a softball interview for CBS Sunday Mornings, Rita Braver asked First Lady Jill Biden: “You’ve seen the President’s poll numbers drop. Does that bother you?” Add in five seconds on the December 12 Evening News and you have all 66 seconds from CBS in December.
