Nets Hype Kelly/Gingrich Bout, Downplay Democratic Controversies

716 views

<p>The &ldquo;Big Three&rdquo; networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) found yet another topic to distract themselves from talking about issues damaging to Democrats Wednesday evening. &ldquo;Trump&#39;s message today, overshadowed by the man in the front row,&rdquo; explained ABC&rsquo;s Tom Llamas on <em>World News Tonight</em>, &ldquo;Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, fresh off his <a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/curtis-houck/2016/10/26/tempers-exp…; target="_blank">explosive interview</a> with Megyn Kelly.&rdquo; According to the nets the argument was more important than corruption, leaked e-mails, or videos showing admission to federal crimes.</p>

<p>Llamas&rsquo; segment last over three minutes with most of it sounding like a blow-for-blow recap of a boxing match. &ldquo;Megyn Kelly, who pressed him on the ten women accusing Donald Trump of sexual misconduct&hellip; Gingrich then unloading&hellip; The former house speaker trying to force Kelly to take on Bill Clinton&hellip; Trump welcoming Gingrich like a conquering hero,&rdquo; Llamas said. He even hyped a threatening tweet from a Trump aide, &ldquo;&lsquo;Megyn Kelly made a total fool out of herself tonight, attacking Donald Trump. Watch what happens to her after this election is over.&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>

<p><em>CBS Evening News</em> only discussed it briefly, while <em>NBC Nightly News</em> on the other hand dedicated an entire report to the argument and declared it a symptom of the Republican Party turning itself off to women voters. &ldquo;The GOP nominee clearly pleased with what he heard from one of his top surrogates, even if some Republican women are not,&rdquo; stated NBC&rsquo;s Hallie Jackson.</p>

<p>The Kelly/Gingrich argument gave the liberal networks just the smokescreen they need to avoid actually reporting damaging news about Hillary Clinton and other Democrats.</p>

<p>All three of the networks still have <a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2016/10/24/nets-…; target="_blank">yet to mention</a> any of the videos released by Project Veritas even though there has been a new video released every day this week. In one video, Democratic operative Bob Creamer is heard talking about having communication with the Hillary Clinton campaign, a violation of federal law. They instead continued to hype her leads in key battleground states and confidence in the race.</p>

<p>They continued to keep the <a href="file:///C:/Users/nicholas.fondacaro/Documents/perjury%20sentencing" target="_blank">perjury sentencing</a> of a highly corrupt Democratic Attorney General from Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, out of their broadcasts. The AG in question is Kathleen Kane a former &ldquo;raising star&rdquo; in the party and former staffer to Hillary in 2008.</p>

<p>ABC, in particular, extended its <a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2016/10/25/abc-i…; target="_blank">blackout</a> of the recently released WikiLeaks e-mail that suggested that President Barack Obama had lied to the public when he claimed he didn&rsquo;t know about Clinton&rsquo;s private e-mail server. <a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/mike-ciandella/2016/10/26/cbs-nbc-a…; target="_blank">A study</a> by the Media Research Center&rsquo;s Mike Ciandella discovered that all of the networks prefer to keep such e-mail leaks out of sight and out of mind.</p>

<p>It is clear that the liberal networks will use any excuse to not cover controversies that have a chance to sink Democrats. They even admit to it and hide behind the claim that Donald Trump&rsquo;s and Republican controversies are many times worse. They believe that because they&rsquo;re biased against them to begin with.&nbsp;</p>
