ABC, CBS, and CNN's Sunday morning news shows on 23 August 2015 all ignored the ongoing controversy over Planned Parenthood's harvesting of aborted babies' organs , as exposed in a series of recent undercover videos by the Center for Medical Progress. George Stephanopoulos featured Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley on ABC's This Week, but failed to ask him a question about the scandal. NBC's Meet the Press did include a clip of Chuck Todd asking Republican Senator Joni Ernst about federal funding of the abortion giant. However, Todd didn't bring up the issue with California Governor Jerry Brown.
By contrast, Fox News Sunday featured a six-minute panel discussion segment on the hidden camera videos and their impact on the 2016 presidential race. Substitute host Shannon Bream spotlighted Hillary Clinton's support for Planned Parenthood, as well as the possible fight over federal funding in Congress. Bream also mentioned the hundreds of anti-Planned Parenthood rallies across the country on Saturday.
