CBS, NBC news reports skip Times Square shooting, ABC devotes 20 seconds
Fox News
Mainstream networks ABC, CBS and NBC largely ignored the Sunday shooting of a 21-year-old Marine caught in the cross fire between what appeared to be two arguing street vendors in Times Square, dedicating little to no time covering the violent incident in their Monday morning and evening news reports.
In addition to the nearly non-existent coverage, the analysis also found the networks failed to mention that 23 people in New York City were shot in 19 different shootings over the weekend. The lack of coverage comes as rates of violent crime and homicides continue to rise in cities across the U.S., especially in New York City where shooting incidents have increased 53.2% year-to-date, and murders have increased 13.3% year-to-date, according to NYPD crime data through the week ending June 20.More Related News
