Biased Network Coverage of FBI Memo
< < Go Back
Since the announcement earlier this week that a memo — detailing possible misconduct and abuses by the FBI — was going to be released by the House Intelligence Committee, the liberal media can’t get enough of this story. And now, the memo has been released.
No — the liberal media is not concerned about the serious allegations against the FBI. They are simply outraged that the memo would be released at all. Why? We’ll let you be the judge of that.
A study released by the MRC’s News Analysis Division found that “Between January 29 (when the vote was held) and February 1, the networks dedicated roughly three and a half times the coverage to worries about releasing the memo than the allegations against the FBI.”
According to the report:
“During this time frame, the network evening newscasts dedicated a whopping 17 minutes and 20 seconds of airtime to Democratic Party talking points and FBI pleas not to release the memo. In sharp contrast, they only spent four minutes and 54 seconds on the content of the memo, which included allegations of misconduct during the early days of the Russia investigation and abuse of FISA warrants.”
