During an appearance on FBN’s Varney & Co. on Thursday, MRC President Brent Bozell slammed the “Big Three” (ABC, CBS and NBC) networks for barely covering the latest controversy surrounding the Clinton Foundation.
The New York Times revealed that a Russian company received permission to acquire one of America’s largest uranium mines while at the same time the company’s chairman donated $2.35 million to the Clinton charity, yet on Thursday, ABC's Good Morning America was the only network morning show to cover the story at all.
Speaking to fill-in host Tom Sullivan, Bozell expressed his dismay that the networks have barely touched a new bombshell book entitled Clinton Cash which exposes the deep ties between the Clinton Foundation and foreign entities which have helped to line the pockets of the Clinton family.
Instead of covering the serious nature of the allegations in Clinton Cash, Bozell noted how hosts like MSNBC’s Chris Matthews are “savaging the man investigating the story which is really fascinating because a news operation should be investigating the story and reporting it.”
Bozell insisted that a “half-decent organization would just report someone else’s investigation. MSNBC not only doesn’t investigate, not only doesn’t report, but attacks anyone investigating and then they went on and gave free advise to Hillary Clinton on how to fight.”
Sullivan observed that the media appear to have erased the Clinton e-mail scandal from their broadcasts, which Bozell said was indicative of a “news media that simply do not want to report news that will harm the narrative.” In fact, a recent MRC study found that since the scandal first broke in March, network coverage has fallen by more than 93 percent.
Later on, the two discussed how MSNBC seems to have a problem with its hosts failing to file taxes, with Toure, co-host of The Cycle, becoming the fourth anchor to owe back taxes to the IRS. Bozell laughed at the “hypocrisy of it all” and called MSNBC “raging hypocrites because its hosts are “constantly calling for the redistribution of wealth. Constantly going after the 1 percent, constantly suggesting people aren’t paying enough taxes. They’re not paying their own taxes.”
