ABC, CBS, NBC networks dramatically dropped off border crisis coverage in August: Study
Fox News
A new study found that mainstream news networks have largely avoided the continuing crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border despite new footage revealing the crisis is not losing steam.
But the crisis was noticeably absent from the airwaves on the Big Three networks. Broadcast evening news coverage in August totaled just 6 minutes, 28 seconds on NBC, CBS and ABC during the month of August, according to a NewsBusters study.
A further breakdown of the numbers found that NBC Nightly News dedicated just four minutes, 12 seconds on the border, CBS Evening News just two minutes and 16 seconds, and ABC’s World News Tonight found no time to talk about the crisis in August.
