NBC continued hitting the Christie scandal on Thursday evening while the CBS and ABC evening news casts have not reported it since Tuesday.

On 'Hannity,' MRC's Brent Bozell Makes Impassioned Stand Against Vile
In Thursday night’s “Media Mash” slot on “Hannity,” Sean Hannity and MRC president Brent Bozell turned away frrom media bias and focused instead on new demands that the FCC do something about the CBS sitcom “2 Broke Girls,” and Monday night’s episode was a doozy, complete with a joke where one waitress wisecracked about snapping her vagina back on.
Hannity wondered that in today’s anything-…

ABC, CBS, and NBC's Thursday morning newscasts all punted on covering President Obama's Wednesday night meeting with Senate Democrats, where he called on them to reject new sanctions on Iran.

Brian Williams Skips Bad ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers, But Bids Farewe
On Monday's NBC Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams ignored bad ObamaCare enrollment numbers for young people, but made time to announce the retirement of a long-standing liberal congressman, a development that neither ABC's World News nor the CBS Evening News deemed worth mentioning.

On Friday's CBS This Morning, Charlie Rose and Norah O'Donnell refreshingly departed from their usual softball treatment of liberal guests, and pursued New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman about his new biography of Fox News's Roger Ailes.

In less than 48 hours, ABC, CBS and NBC deluged viewers with coverage of Chris Christie's traffic jam scandal, devoting a staggering 88 minutes to the story.

Networks Torch Christie for Lane Closures, But Ignored Obama Admin's C
The same network evening news shows that ignored vindictiveness by the Obama administration during October's government shutdown were up in arms Wednesday over New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's "Bridgegate" and the possible tarring it could give his image.

After months of stonewalling the Justice Department finally named someone to head the investigation into the IRS-Tea Party scandal - and it's an Obama donor.
