ABC Offers Paltry 13 SECONDS on the Vice President's El Paso Trip

ABC News continued its tendency to ignore (or almost ignore) the controversy over Vice President Kamala Harris waiting for more than 90 days to visit the border after being handed the border "issue" by President Biden. On Friday night's newscast, David Muir offered a paltry 13 seconds to the story. Blink, and you might miss it. PBS did 58 seconds, while CBS and NBC offered about two minutes.…
