Networks Loud on Roy Moore Allegations, Quiet on Bob Menendez Trial |
2017-11-12 |
According to Newsbusters, ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News have not mentioned Menendez’s trial for allegedly taking bribes in exchange for political favors once during the whole of the Democrat’s 65-day trial. But the coverage of Republican Roy Moore has been markedly different. The Washington Post reported Thursday on allegations that Moore pursued teenagers when he was in his mid-30s in the 1970s and 1980s ‐ including a claim that he initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old. Moore has denied allegations of sexual impropriety. "In the past 24 hours, the same networks that couldn’t find a single second to mention Menendez in 65 days, spent 24 minutes and 36 seconds on serious allegations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore," the watchdog reported. |
