On Friday, there was a “March For Life” at the National Mall in Washington D.C. Crowd estimates ranged from “tens of thousands” to “150,000”. The speakers included President Trump (in a video message) and live speeches by Vice President Vance, Speaker of The House Mike Johnson , Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and others.
Whether you are “pro-choice”, “pro-life” or anywhere in between, I think you will acknowledge that a march of this size with these participants is news; major news.
So how did the networks – our “mainstream media” – cover it?
From Alex Christy’s article for newsbusters.org:
A charitable analysis of ABC, NBC, and CBS’s Friday evening and Saturday morning broadcasts would find that the six shows combined to give the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., a measly 48 seconds of coverage.
Neither ABC’s Saturday edition of Good Morning America, NBC’s Today, nor CBS Saturday Morning acknowledged the rally’s existence, meaning all the coverage came on Friday evening.
NBC Nightly News also skipped the rally altogether, giving NBC zero combined seconds. Still, zero seconds is somehow an improvement for NBC because last year, not only did they omit the March for Life, they actively promoted pro-abortion high schoolers.
These are the “journalists” who seem to be perplexed by why fewer and fewer people trust them/more and more people seek out other news sources.
Are they beyond all hope? I don’t know. But if this is any indication….
