On Wednesday, it was reported that the 10-year-old girl from Ohio who was raped, had been raped by an illegal immigrant from Guatemala. While most of the leftist media wants to focus on the fact that she had apparently sought an abortion in the neighboring state of Indiana because of Ohio's law protecting the life of the unborn, this disturbing news that a man who was in the United States illegally is being buried. At least that was the case with CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News.
Instead of covering the evil act committed by another illegal alien, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News decided to waste their viewers' time on local weather reports and a shark attack on Long Island.
Credit where it's due, ABC's World News Tonight did do a report on this tragedy. Correspondent Alex Perez during his coverage reported that the illegal was "charged in the rape of a ten-year-old girl whose case made national headlines."
Perez added that "authorities say that girl went to another state to Indiana to get an abortion” because "Ohio instituting a ban on nearly all abortions after six weeks with no exceptions for rape following the overturning of Roe v. Wade."
Perez continued:
The 27-year-old suspect, who authorities say is undocumented, arraigned in a Columbus courtroom today. Prosecutors saying he admitted having sexual contact with the girl. The Ohio attorney general issuing a statement, saying, my heart aches for the pain suffered by this young child. Justice must be served and the Bureau of Criminal Investigations stands ready to support law enforcement across Ohio, putting these criminals behind bars. Last month, the girl's mother reporting to child services that her daughter was pregnant.
During the handoff back to anchor David Muir, Perez revealed that the suspect "is being held on $2 million bail. He has not yet entered a plea. If convicted, he could face life in prison."
This bias by omission by CBS & NBC was made possible by Angi on CBS and Liberty Mutual on NBC. Their information is linked.
