CNN Covers Gay NBA Player Nine Times More In a Day Than It Did Gosnell In One Week
By Matt Hadro | April 30, 2013

In just 24 hours, CNN spent over 76 minutes of air time on NBA player Jason Collins's announcement that he was gay. That was over nine times more coverage the network gave the Gosnell trial in one week.

CNN's media critic Howard Kurtz admitted on Sunday that the media champion some stories more than others that also merit attention, and this was painfully evident in the amount of time network gave the two stories. Once Collins announced he was gay, the network breathlessly touted the news as "historic," "a big moment for our country," and "courageous." CNN's jubilation over Collins is no surprise given its support for same-sex marriage, but it couldn't muster even half of that air time to report the alleged horrors of Kermit Gosnell's abortion clinic. [Video below the break. Audio here.]

CNN gave the trial a pittance of coverage, just over eight minutes in one week. Ironically, CNN anchors like Chris Cuomo admitted to the seriousness of the story even as the network barely covered it.

"And remember, this is one of those cases that will raise a larger question about when does life begin? And there is a lot of controversy surrounding it. Important case to watch," Cuomo reported on Monday morning.

However, CNN was much more enthralled with the coming out tale of Jason Collins. "But the fact is that this is the moment where we are in our country, and it is a big moment for our country," hyped correspondent Lisa Sylvester on Monday's The Situation Room.

"A lot of people using the words 'courageous.' I think that probably sums it up," Sylvester noted. Host Wolf Blitzer agreed: "In the four major sports, he's the first one, the first one as an active player. Not after retirement but as an active player to acknowledge he's gay. So it is a courageous step."

Host Piers Morgan, speaking to former tennis champion Martina Navratilova who came out as a lesbian in 1981, praised both her and Collins: "And that, just as you were, Martina, in 1981, is an act of real courage. Because it takes guts to do that."

Openly-gay host Anderson Cooper touted, "Pro center Jason Collins becoming a true pioneer, the first big league male athlete to say he's gay." He called it a "historic decision."

Early Start co-host Zoraida Sambolin called it "A huge barrier broken in big league sports," on Tuesday morning.

That is why CNN is in the toilet.  Twinks are a tiny number of viewers overall.

yet you can't stop talking about them
 
I wonder how much time Fox spent on the Jason Collins's story

My guess would be just about the same time as all the other stations

'Face the Nation' Spends 30 Minutes on Gay NBA Player, Still No Mention of Gosnell
By Noel Sheppard | May 05, 2013

Does the outing of a previously almost unknown basketball player really deserve a half hour's coverage on a broadcast television Sunday political talk show?

The folks at CBS certainly felt it does as Face the Nation actually devoted the entire second half of its program Sunday to Jason Collins and gay issues.

As the second half of the show began, host Bob Schieffer introduced former tennis greats Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova to discuss the significance of Collins' annoucement via satellite.

After that, NFL player and gay rights activist Brendon Ayanbadejo and former NFL player Esera Tuaolo (who outed himself after he retired) joined Schieffer also via satellite.

Following a commercial break, Schieffer was joined by Domonique Foxworth, the president of the NFL Players Association, Ted Leonsis, the owner of three Washington sports franchises, Chris Stone, the managing editor of Sports Illustrated, and New York Times sportswriter Bill Rhoden.

The discussion of course was again about Collins and the significance of his announcement.

One half hour - including commercials - on this issue.

What made this even odder is that Schieffer concluded his first half hour with a 90-second commentary on the Collins issue saying, "The news about this story is that it didn't cause all that much news, at least not all that much controversy. Most Americans accepted it and went on about their business. My grandchildren wouldn't even know why it made the news."

If that's the case, why spend 30 minutes on something that your grandchilden "wouldn't even know why it made the news?"

But something that REALLY hasn't made news on Face the Nation is the Kermit Gosnell murder trial. Schieffer has yet to discuss the subject. His network has also still not mentioned it on its Evening News broadcasts.

With air time so precious, news outlets must have their priorities.

30 Times More Coverage! CNN Trumps Up Tabloid Stories But Buries Benghazi
By Matt Hadro | May 09, 2013

On Wednesday evening, CNN barely covered the congressional hearing on the Benghazi attack from earlier that afternoon. Instead, the network provided wall-to-wall coverage of the Jodi Arias trial verdict and the Cleveland kidnappings.

From the hours of 5 p.m. until 11 p.m. ET, CNN gave a whopping 4 hours, 9 minutes of coverage to the two crime stories, but a measly eight minutes to Benghazi -- over 30 times more coverage. And three of CNN's prime-time shows didn't even mention Benghazi.

The 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET hours of Anderson Cooper 360 featured over one hour and twenty minutes of material on Arias and the Cleveland abduction, but not a second on the hearing. The 9 p.m. ET hour of Piers Morgan Live aired over 40 minutes on the two stories, but completely ignored the Benghazi hearing.

Ironically, CNN's Wolf Blitzer admitted that the hearing was dwarfed by the tabloid crime stories: "It's been nearly lost amid in a lot of the glare today, the breaking news coming out of Cleveland and Phoenix, but September's deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was the subject of a very important all-day hearing on Capitol Hill."

Unfortunately, Blitzer's colleagues didn't get the memo about this "very important" hearing. Most of the prime time Benghazi coverage clustered at the end of Blitzer's 6 p.m. ET hour of The Situation Room, in a 7 minute, 13 second-long story. Host Erin Burnett only spent 39 seconds on the hearing in a news brief during the 7 p.m. ET hour. That was all the coverage from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET.

Earlier in the day, CNN provided over 17 minutes of live audio of the Benghazi hearing before cutting away from it for the rest of the afternoon. The network reported on the hearing but never again went live. In contrast, Fox News provided viewers with 108 minutes of live coverage of the hearing.

CNN's Burnett even admitted that the Arias trial had become a "soap opera" full of "salacious entertainment" that CNN was feeding a hungry audience. "The fact of the matter is, this actually stopped being a trial a long time ago. As BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins told us today, I'll quote him, 'The Arias trial had every hallmark of a classic tabloid story or a soap opera. A four-month long soap opera,'" Burnett acknowledged. 

"So, if you're one of the people who enjoyed the salacious entertainment of the past four months, make sure you thank the good people of Arizona for paying for it," she quipped.

Chris Matthews: Media Are 'Pro-Obama'; If President Disagrees, He's 'Crazy'
By Scott Whitlock | May 15, 2013

Even Chris Matthews admits it. Talking to the liberal Alex Wagner on Wednesday's Hardball about the IRS scandal, the cable host came clean on the press and their love for Barack Obama. After Wagner insisted that the President was tired of an "unfair media," Matthews scoffed, "Let me tell you something. The press has generally been pro-Obama. That's a fact." If the President disagrees, "he's crazy." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]

The MSNBC anchor summed up the state of journalism: "I look at the major newspapers. I look at the major networks, broadcast nets. I look at us...CNN. Where's all this antipathy towards Obama?" According to Matthews, if the staff of the White House are unhappy with how they've been covered, they "are very uninformed about the history of presidencies."

Wagner set Matthews's truthful rant up by suggesting that the media makes Obama "want to flip the off switch sometimes and sort of just turn the lights out for the room and say, You know what? 'I've done so much for this country. Why do I need to get involved in the mud pit?'"

A partial transcript of the May 15 segment is below:

ALEX WAGNER: I think his own personal distaste for Washington and his sense that the media, the right, the, sort of, chattering class has been unfair about his legislative record and his accomplishments sort of makes him want to flip the off switch sometimes and sort of just turn the lights out for the room and say, "You know what? I've done so much for this country. Why do I need to get involved in the mud pit?"

 CHRIS MATTHEWS [With a bit of contempt in his tone]: Let me tell you something. The press has generally been pro-Obama. That's a fact. If he doesn't think he has gotten– If he hasn't gotten good press, he is crazy.

WAGNER: I'm analyzing what I think may be happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

MATTHEWS: He has gotten– Yes– Alex, they, over there, are very uninformed about the history of presidencies. This guy has probably gotten the best press since Reagan. Dana, don't you think? You don't have to watch Fox if you don't want to. It's there. But, if you don't watch Fox, you don't watch Limbaugh, there's a lot of other opinion out there. I look at the major newspapers. I look at the major networks, broadcast nets. I look at us. I don't see a lot of– CNN. Where's all this antipathy towards Obama?

New York Times Public Editor Admits Paper Has Liberal Bias
By Noel Sheppard | August 18, 2013

NewsBusters readers certainly don't have to be told that the New York Times has a liberal bias, but when the paper's public editor admits it on national television, one has to take notice.

With that in mind, grab some peanuts, popcorn, or Cracker Jacks and take a gander at Margaret Sullivan on CNN's Reliable Sources Sunday marvelously telling us what we already know (video follows with transcript and commentary):

JOANNE LIPMAN: Big newspapers used to employ in-house watchdogs to keep them on the straight and narrow and to represent readers. Few do that anymore.

But "The New York Times" does, and theirs is as outspoken as they come. I sat down earlier to talk with public editor Margaret Sullivan as she marks one year on the job.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

LIPMAN: Margaret Sullivan, thank you so much for joining us.

MARGARET SULLIVAN, PUBLIC EDITOR "THE NEW YORK TIMES": Thanks, Joanne. Great to be here.

LIPMAN: So let's dive right in. The loudest criticism that we often hear about "The New York Times" -- I don't know if it's the most frequent but it's certainly the loudest -- is that it has a liberal bias. Does it?

SULLIVAN: Well, some of my predecessors have taken that head-on. In fact, Daniel Okrent, the first public editor, once wrote a column -- and I think the headline said something like "Is 'The Times' a Liberal Newspaper?"

And his answer in the lead was, of course it is. And he went on from there. And it got quite a bit of response.

I mean that is obviously something people feel about "The Times," and I think maybe the best way to think about it is that "The Times" reflects its readership, its community. It's an urban paper; it's a New York City paper. I mean that's a reasonable criticism, I think.

LIPMAN: So it is a yes?

SULLIVAN: It's a modified yes with a lot of nuance in it.

IRS Documents Reveal Agency Flagged Groups for 'Anti-Obama Rhetoric,' Big Three Refuse to Report
By Geoffrey Dickens | September 19, 2013
 
ABC, CBS and NBC have so far refused to report the latest bombshell in the IRS scandal - a newly released list from the agency that showed it flagged political groups for “anti-Obama rhetoric.” On September 18 the USA Today, in a front page story, reported the following: “Newly uncovered IRS documents show the agency flagged political groups based on the content of their literature, raising concerns specifically about ‘anti-Obama rhetoric,’ inflammatory language and ‘emotional’ statements made by non-profits seeking tax-exempt status.”

Not only have ABC, CBS and NBC not reported this story they’ve flat out stopped covering the IRS scandal on their evening and morning shows. It’s been 85 days since ABC last touched the story on June 26. NBC hasn’t done a report for 84 days and CBS last mentioned the IRS scandal 56 days ago on July 24.

The article by Gregory Korte went on to report: “The internal 2011 documents, obtained by USA TODAY, list 162 groups by name, with comments by Internal Revenue Service lawyers in Washington raising issues about their political, lobbying and advocacy activities. In 21 cases, those activities were characterized as ‘propaganda.’ The list provides the most specific public accounting to date of which groups were targeted for extra scrutiny and why. The IRS has not publicly identified the groups, repeatedly citing a provision of the tax code prohibiting it from releasing tax return information.”

The American Center for Law and Justice, a nonprofit legal institute that represents 33 of the groups appearing on the IRS list, said it appears to be ‘the most powerful evidence yet of a coordinated effort’ by the IRS to target Tea Party groups. ‘The political motivations of this are so patently obvious, but then to have a document that spells it out like this is very damaging to the IRS,’ said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the ACLJ. ‘I hope the FBI has seen these documents.’”

Of course there's a liberal bias.  Any time any person tries to help another or ask government to improve the lives of the least of us we have to get the other side of the story. 

Any time you see a well written, thoughtful article, you have to balance it out with the other side.  You know, the thoughtless, irrational, selfish point of view.  Which brings me to FOX News. 

Watch FOX News.  It is Fair and Balanced.

Oh really douchbag... I find all left wing libs traitors to the United States. My neighbor should be able to stand on his own two feet. His success  or failure is neither dependent on me or my tax dollars to subsidize it. I want nothing more from the Feds except what they're mandated to provide in the Constitution.

 You idiots would waste more money on failed projects, hand outs and all the other left wing pet projects that so consume your time. You people are the ones most closely alligned with communists, socialists and the wastes of society. You are the ones with no core beliefs beyond what feels good. You are the ones who really stick your noses into everybodies business. You regulate regardless of the will of the people. You lie to the masses, you upsurp the Constitution at every turn. You are the ones who demean the christian religion while bowing to the murderous Islamic pseudo political mysticism that is the cause for so much misery in the world. You quake in fear at those who serve, whether in the military or in any body that gives itself to a cause in defense of freedom. You mock patriotism and flag waving, yet pray to a failed half black political hack who's crushing the county under a mountain of debt...yet we're the idiots.

Your other massive mistake is considering the failed elements of the Republican party and the Conservative movement one and the same...they are not. McCain is as big a dem as that piece of shit in the Whitehouse. Guys like Cruz scare you. Regardless of the outcome, he provides a choice between you bastards and another way...not more of the same.

I thought you enlightened libs liked man love.

Man, this is part of the problem, if not the core of it.   The Dems and GOP have both been hijacked by extremists.   And they hate each other.  No respect for the other side, just venom.  That's why Washington is gridlocked and nothing gets done.  

A very sad state of affairs that threatens the country more than any specific policy of either side.

you sound just like any other mindless lib who recieves their education on the political process of our country from MTV and Comedy Central.  truly sad that you actually believe all this shit you're spewing.  i'm not on the Obama hate wagon.  I'm a small business owner running a tax accounting firm.  I just got off the phone a couple of weeks ago with my blue cross blue shield guy.  in order for me to provide health care for myself and my empoyees i will have to pay premiums that just went up by 46%.  so i was paying about $900 a month before Obama, now it's going to be about $1,300 a month.  All of whats happening now was told to me by OBAMA that this wouldn't happen after the mandates.  We were all lied to.  This is real world shit for me.  Not some ideological debate based upon a bunch of hypotheticals.  This is objective proof that the Obama administration was full of shit when they signed OBAMACARE into existence.

So please stop spewing your infantile rhetoric about Democrats being the good guys and the Republicans being the bad guys.  The Republicans lost the election.  I was one of those who wanted to wait and see what happened before i made my decision on Obamacare because I had a very objective benchmark with which to judge him upon.  And there's no argument about it anymore.  HE DID REAL HARM TO MY BUSINESS, MY FAMILY, AND MY CLIENTS.    and i have the proof to show you he did.

sad fact is you only like obamacare because of your ideological beliefs and you'll overlook everything as long as your president allows you to have abortions and supports gay marriage.  neither of which i disagree with but am not so narrowminded and childish that I would base my entire decision on who i vote for president based upon those opinions.  YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DOES REAL HARM.

yes, it's shocking that you would take "It's a modified yes with a lot of nuance in it" and just throw out the parts you don't like and just see the YES

I'm sure you'll also take this as some sort of evidence that all media has a liberal bias

You look at a waste of space like Cruz and see a man of ideas.  But as I pointed out before, you care nothing for ideas b/c you pride yourself in being a herd animal.  You're told what to think,  how to think, whom to hate and how to live  your life.   If any of that is inaccurate, I'll take it down.

You speak of freedom and education but those things require responsible thoughtful people.  I might as well be talking to a cat.  It would understand more of free  will than you.

Your federal tax dollars fund nothing.  The federal government funds itself.  So don't gild your hatred and ignorance with economic tones as if that is some determinative factor in allocatiing national resources amongst the people.  You know less about national economics than you do of what it means to be a free person.

Believe me, you are exactly the type of person that put dictators in power.  You are ruled by fear and long for the iron hand of a a vengeful leader. 

Hardly a free man patriot

you sound just like any other mindless lib who recieves their education on the political process of our country from MTV and Comedy Central.  truly sad that you actually believe all this shit you're spewing.  i'm not on the Obama hate wagon.  I'm a small business owner running a tax accounting firm.  I just got off the phone a couple of weeks ago with my blue cross blue shield guy.  in order for me to provide health care for myself and my empoyees i will have to pay premiums that just went up by 46%.  so i was paying about $900 a month before Obama, now it's going to be about $1,300 a month.  All of whats happening now was told to me by OBAMA that this wouldn't happen after the mandates.  We were all lied to.  This is real world shit for me.  Not some ideological debate based upon a bunch of hypotheticals.  This is objective proof that the Obama administration was full of shit when they signed OBAMACARE into existence.

So please stop spewing your infantile rhetoric about Democrats being the good guys and the Republicans being the bad guys.  The Republicans lost the election.  I was one of those who wanted to wait and see what happened before i made my decision on Obamacare because I had a very objective benchmark with which to judge him upon.  And there's no argument about it anymore.  HE DID REAL HARM TO MY BUSINESS, MY FAMILY, AND MY CLIENTS.    and i have the proof to show you he did.

sad fact is you only like obamacare because of your ideological beliefs and you'll overlook everything as long as your president allows you to have abortions and supports gay marriage.  neither of which i disagree with but am not so narrowminded and childish that I would base my entire decision on who i vote for president based upon those opinions.  YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DOES REAL HARM.
Your anecdotal evidence is very unimpressive.  No shut your cack hole and pay your taxes like a good american.  Real people  need federal spending.  Including you.

That is exactly what the dictator wannabe O-THUG is all about - divisive rhetoric against everyone daily unless he gets his way.
