Study: TV News Is Rigged Against Brett Kavanaugh

During the twelve days since Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein publicly announced the existence of an unspecified allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, the ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows have spent nearly six hours (344 minutes) regurgitating various unproved allegations against the Supreme Court nominee.

But only a tiny percentage of that coverage — a measly eight percent — has been devoted to Kavanaugh’s denials and the lack of corroboration for his accusers’ accounts.

MRC analysts pored over all of the coverage from September 13 through September 24.

The charges leveled by Deborah Ramirez drew 37 minutes during the September 24 morning and evening news shows; an additional two minutes of airtime was spent on an unknown third accuser teased by Democratic lawyer Michael Avenatti.

This is actually good news. All normal men are disgusted by the media coverage. All decent women (all who love their husbands, their sons, and their brothers) are equally disgusted. This may be the best thing ever to happen for conservative political candidates nationwide. Who would have guessed that this year’s October Surprise would be self-inflicted by the democrats and their complicit media against themselves?

They needed a “study” to learn that? All they had to do was turn the news on.

ABC Radio news air this....

“Kavenaugh would push woman against the wall and then groped them.”

It was a story about Sweatnik.

Uhmmmm.....Brennan, Clapper, Rhodes, and an endless gaggle of spouses and former staffers under Obama and Clinton regimes are employed by and running the news networks.

Fake outrage. Like reporting leaf litter without pointing out the trees.
