Study: Liberal TV Nets Give Pence Not Wearing Mask 3x More Coverage Than Biden Scandal
By Curtis Houck | April 29, 2020 7:29 PM EDT

The liberal media have shown an aversion to covering Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations against 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. But when it came to Vice President Mike Pence not wearing a mask at the Mayo Clinic Tuesday, the same liberal networks decided it was a scandal worthy of their attention, giving it three times more airtime in 24 hours compared to what they spent on Biden’s scandal in an entire month.

An MRC analysis found that, between 2:00 p.m. Eastern Tuesday and 2:00 p.m. Eastern Wednesday, live programming on ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and NBC dedicated 87 minutes and 27 seconds to Pence lacking a mask.

That’s in contrast with a TOTAL of 28 minutes and 44 seconds for Reade’s allegations since they first arose on March 25.

Our news media are uniformly uninterested in either information or explanation of events. Their purpose instead is to advance political agendas. All information is accordingly framed, trimmed and tailored to the singular purpose of advancing those agendas via tendentious reporting and by the purposeful omission of contradictory and inconvenient facts.

The truth is that we live in a free country, but still depend for our "news" on shills and propagandists. It is the duty of each person to do their own research, because the news media have largely abandoned their own duties and responsibilities, largely in the pursuit of power and influence, to which truth is far too often an impediment.
