The Big Three networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) gave the faux furor over Mitt Romneys binders full of women statement in Tuesdays debate a whopping 22 mentions through Friday morning. Yet when Vice President Joe Biden, on Thursday, told an audience member that Republican young guns like Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan had bullets aimed at him the networks delivered just a scant two total mentions (on NBC and CBS, ABC skipped the gaffe entirely.)
On the morning after the debate ABCs Elizabeth Vargas, on Good Morning America, singled out the binders comment: You remember the Big Bird line that dominated the conversations online and around the water cooler, in essence, after the first debate? Last night, it was another Romney comment, binders full of women that caused the heat to turn on.
NBCs Brian Williams, on Wednesdays Nightly News, told viewers: While a lot of facts were thrown around that stage, a lot was said. There were some enduring images and enduring lines, like the Romney quote about binders full of women, which took on a life of its own today.
Over on CBSs This Morning, on Wednesday, Norah ODonnell asked Vice President Joe Biden what did you make of that remark?
However Bidens uncivil insult about the GOP aiming bullets at Americans was mentioned just twice on the Big Three networks this week. NBCs Chuck Todd, on Thursdays Nightly News, delivered the following report:
TODD: Vice President Joe Biden, in Nevada, fired back at Mr. [Paul] Ryan, playing off the title of Ryans book Young Guns, using some eyebrow-raising rhetoric.
JOE BIDEN: Unfortunately, the bullets are aimed at you.

The left’s game plan is simple: find one distraction and count on the legions of fellow travellers in the phony news media to harp on it. of
All weekend long their newscasts were leading off with that lame “Romnesia” bit above everything else.
“In other news....Japan destroyed by giant reptiles...”
It’s the binders,stupid.
What is this ABC, CBS, and NBC of which you speak?
Is binder a dirty word now? Impossible to keep up.
They just don’t want the world to know that President Obama was niggardly in hiring women.
I hope the left keeps harping on ‘Big Bird’, ‘binders’ or whatever other feeble attempts at sabotage they try. Such pettiness only hurts THEIR cause, not ours.
