Off a Cliff: Democratic Virginia Scandals Evaporate from ABC, CBS, NBC

By Curtis Houck | February 22, 2019 11:48 AM EST

Despite the fact that there has been no resolution to any of the scandals surrounding the three Democrats who sit atop Virginia's government, ABC, CBS and NBC have essentially dropped the stories from their flagship newscasts.

From February 1-7,  ABC, CBS, and NBC combined for 116 minutes and 19 seconds and then 96 minutes and 12 seconds from February 8-14 on scandals involving Governor Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, and A.G. Mark Herring.

Since then, however, there have only been an additional eight minutes and eight seconds devoted to the Virginia officeholders between two newscasts (the February 15 CBS This Morning and the February 19 Good Morning America).

I see that exclusion and other journalistic malpractices are still alive and kicking.

What the alphabets don’t report is generally more significant and telling than the lies they do report.

Is there ANYONE surprised by this?

Just look at who are the network talking heads on their Sunday political shows and you can see which way their wind blows.
