PBS Gives 19 Seconds to Kathy Griffin's Trump-Beheading 'Art' Stunt, NPR Offered Zero Seconds

Geoffrey Dickens noted Charlie Rose interviewed Al Franken for most of his hour on Wednesday and never brought up Kathy Griffin. The same thing happened on the PBS NewsHour. And a search of National Public Radio transcripts comes up empty for Kathy Griffin stories.

Judy Woodruff offered this 19-second (46-word) anchor brief at the very end of the program’s news summary and there was no airing of the offending photograph:

I think Ms. Griffin has committed career suicide.  But then, she could pull a Franken and run for congress.  Depending on where she runs, she has a very good chance of being elected.  After Franken, Mad Max Waters and Hank Johnson, ANYTHING is possible!

[Suppressed]

The less attention given to her, the better.

The less attention given to her, the better.

Agreed.
