It appears that the Regime Media, which just a few months ago breathlessly covered every aspect of civil and criminal litigation against former and future President Donald J. Trump, now have little interest in updating the status of one of the pending trials. There was nary a peep on the network evening newscasts about the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the trial involving President Donald Trump.
The most comprehensive report on evening network news comes via NBC. Below are all 24 seconds of that report:
NBC NIGHTLY NEWS
12/19/24
6:39 PM
LESTER HOLT: In Georgia, a legal victory today for President-Elect Trump. An appeals court disqualified Fani Willis from prosecuting the Georgia election interference case against Mr. Trump. The appeals court said a lower court was wrong in allowing Willis to keep the case despite a romantic relationship with the lawyer she brought in to manage the prosecution.
Holt’s use of “legal victory today” within the context of the ramifications of the disqualification ruling seems unusually muted. Anodyne, even. Consider how Willis’s hometown paper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, covered that same ruling:
The Georgia Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office should be disqualified from the 2020 election interference case, a bombshell decision that upends the last remaining criminal case against incoming President Donald Trump.
After hyping up the weaponization of state and federal governments against Trump, there is a collective shrug now that the last case against Trump would appear to begin to vanish. It bears repeating that NBC’s 24 seconds are the most thorough presentation of Willis on the big three network newscasts.
ABC’s reaction to the disqualification was just as brief:
MARY BRUCE: And David, tonight, another headline related to Donald Trump. This one about his election interference case in Georgia. The States’ Court of Appeals disqualifying Willis, the prosecutor who brought the case against Trump and his allies because of a relationship she had with a lawyer who she hired to prosecute the case. Now, the indictment still stands, but tonight Donald Trump is celebrating the move.
These miserly 20 seconds and NBC’s 24 seconds far eclipse CBS, which could not even be bothered to cover the Willis disqualification.
As the Regime Media shift back to Resistance Media, we can expect a continued dilution of the kinds of stories that make Democrats look bad.
