In just two days, the three network morning and evening shows deluged viewers with over 25 minutes of coverage (17 stories) on the indictment of Texas Governor Rick Perry. These programs made sure to speculate as to whether the controversy could "end any chance" for the Republican in 2016. [See video below. MP3 audio here.] The indictment came after Perry lobbied for Texas District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to resign after her drunk driving conviction.
From Saturday morning through Monday morning, CBS offered the most amount of coverage, five stories over nine minutes and 14 seconds. Over the same period, ABC produced six segments (or eight minutes and 48 seconds). NBC delivered six segments for of seven minutes and 37 seconds.

They want to get it into people’s mind that defunding an agency is somehow unconstitutional...so the gravy train can keep flowing.
Don’t those idiots in the MSM see that Perry’s reaction to the judge’s stupid maneuver makes him a rock star?
Perry is getting his first dose of “Palin-ization”...
Whodda thunk that when all of the circuses went out of business that the clowns would all go into “journalism”?
Typical reaction by the msm. Carrying the water for the dnc.
They must have really been afraid of him, as now they’ve got every potential conservative threat under a cloud - - Palin, Gingrich, Christie, Herman Cain, Scott Walker...
So you’ve got to figure they’ll go after Ted Cruz next.
Who hasn’t been targeted besides Jeb Bush?
I would like to see them devote half that time on Obama’s hidden college records or the fact that he used the SSN of a dead man to register for the draft.
Yeah, who?
go Rick!!! you tha man.
Crush a Rat DA into dust!!
Oh yeah, an unbiased media, sure it is!
I wonder if Rick can see Alaska from his house?
Where is Braq Brak to denounce these phony scandals???
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
Amazing how the many can find so much time for that phony scandal and ignore all the real ones.
Mittens Romney has also not been targeted.
He couldn’t buy that much air time. The question becomes does this coverage
help or hurt his chances if he persues a presidential run.

Right now, he’s on my plus list.
Well, if he wasn’t a household name then, he is now.
