…read the first two paragraphs of Bill D’Agostino’s article, at newsbusers.org, detailing the difference in coverage between the pardons Joe Biden gave to his own family members – pre-emptive pardons, which means even for criminal activity not uncovered yet, whatever it may be – and the pardons Donald Trump gave “January 6” protesters:
Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC spent last week incensed by President Trump’s pardoning of Jan. 6 defendants, heaping over 46 minutes of coverage on the story within just a 48-hour period on their flagship morning and evening newscasts. By contrast, those same newscasts spared a pathetic three and a half minutes for the last-minute pardons former-President Biden issued for his family members.
MRC analysts looked at the 48-hour period following President Trump’s inauguration on ABC, CBS, and NBC, for a total of two evening newscasts and two morning shows per network from the evening of January 20 through the morning of January 22. We found a total of 46 minutes and 32 seconds of coverage were spent on Trump’s pardons — more than 15 times as much airtime as they gave to Biden’s pardoning of his own family members (just 212 seconds).
Am I happy with Trump’s blanket pardons of just about all “J6” offenders? No I am not. A great many of them should NOT have been pardoned and it is a black mark on Trump’s presidency.
But is there any doubt that mainstream media treated those unfair, unwarranted pardons differently than Joe Biden’s unfair, unwarranted pardons of his family? No there is not.
Then they wonder why fewer and fewer people trust them…..
