Networks: 2,202 Minutes on Russia Scandal, Zero for No Collusion Report
By Bill D'Agostino | February 14, 2019 12:28 PM EST

It’s been two days since NBC’s exclusive reporting that the Senate Intelligence Committee has found no material evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and as of yet none of the three major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have given it even a single second of coverage in their evening newscasts. Considering these networks have given the Russia probe a massive 2,202 minutes of airtime, their silence on this major development is deafening.

MRC analysts examining all coverage on ABC’s World News Tonight, the CBS Evening News, and the NBC Nightly News found that those 2,202 minutes spent on the Russia investigation accounted for nearly 19 percent of all Trump-related reporting between January 21, 2017 and February 10, 2019. However none of those three shows have even mentioned the investigation since NBC’s report came out on February 12.

THIS should be news.  Pretty amazing.

And they won't report this until they have some new charge damning enough to Trump to balance it out.

No wonder 45 percent of the public polled believes Russian interference threw the 2016 election to Donald Trump.

Somebody’s gotta fry for perpetrating this hoax. I wanna see street lamps dimming as sentences are carried out.
