Nets Skip Church Burned for Opening, Whine Trump Didn’t Wear Mask
By Nicholas Fondacaro | May 21, 2020 9:09 PM EDT
Showing their discontent for religious liberty and penchant for just being petty, the Thursday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC refused to cover a Mississippi church burned to the ground Wednesday in an act of arson because they had sued to stay open. Instead, all three of them threw a hissy fit because President Trump wasn’t wearing a mask for part of his visit to a Ford factory, which was making ventilators.
The church arson did get airtime on Fox News Channel’s Special Report. As correspondent Doug McKelway reported: “Flames tore through the First Pentecostal Church in Holly Springs, Mississippi Wednesday morning. A month earlier at the church had filed suit against the town challenging its restrictions on public gatherings.â€
He added: “In the destroyed structure, misspelled graffiti reads, quote, ‘bet you stay home now, you hypocrites.â€

So sorry @Sighlass You have my sympathy. My arthritis is acting up today. No fun getting old.
If it's any consolation, I don't type well even when I'm not in pain. And I used to be a secretary too. LOL
anyway, hope you feel better soon.

While those stories are on the networks websites, the OP article makes a different, very specific, claim:
... the Thursday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC
Knowing a little of how Newsbusters does their thing, they probably have tapes of the evening newscasts of that night. @pjcomix

You know that if it had been a muzzie recruitment center or a black church that was burned down that the Propaganda Ministry For the Left-wing Fascist Agenda would have been all over it an' Pencil-Neck Skillethead, an' High Pockets would be gearing up all kinds of investigations as to how they could impeach President Trump for it.

As @Applewood pointed out, there is no media silence about this arson, local or national.

@PeteS in CA Just wanted to say you are right -- I can't tell whether the reports aired Thursday night or maybe the next day. Serves me right for just reading the headline which made it appear that the alphabets ignored the story entirely.

On a day that a Islamic terrorist attack is enacted at a Naval Air station, the bigger story is whether Trump wears a mask.
MSM credibility has long gone in the crapper. On another note, clicked by the 5:30 news the other night, and saw that the CBS news was swapped (pre-empted) for their streaming service. This tells me that the advertising dollars are evaporating, and they are suffering.

I've stopped watching the Propaganda Ministry For the Left-wing Fascist Agenda's evening rant in favor of Last Man Standing reruns on our local Fox station.
