America loves streaks. For our parents and grandparents, it was witnessing (via radio or the morning paper) Joe DiMaggios 56-game hitting streak in 1941, a record that will likely never be broken. For later generations, it was Cal Ripken playing in 2,632 consecutive games another record that wont be touched.
There are streaks in broadcasting as well. The most notable being broken two years ago after ABCs Good Morning America finally beat NBCs Today Show after an astounding 852 consecutive weeks at the top, a streak spanning over 16 years.
But then there are dubious streaks as well, like the one were currently witnessing courtesy of those aforementioned big alphabet networks.
The comments of MIT professor Jonathan Gruber have been a big story for the past ten days. Regardless of how you voted or whether youre team red or blue, an official who worked closely with President Obama and his team on crafting the Affordable Care Act (visiting the Oval Office 19 times to specifically discuss a strategy) and later revealing on multiple occasions that the law was predicated on misleading stupid American voters is a story worthy of national attention and scrutiny. Those who dont believe this are willfully blind, or as stupid as even an MSNBC panel says the White House thinks we all are.
With that in mind, heres one more streak to chew on: Over the past ten nights, ABCs World News Tonight and NBCs Nightly News havent just buried the story in some throwaway segment late in their respective programs; they havent mentioned Gruber or the controversy in any capacity. Some could argue the decision to omit has been made because the news cycle has been heavy on the breaking news front. Except that hasnt remotely been the case.

in all seriousness, they delusionally believe they are still the only place people get their news and don’t realize how omnipresent online news is.
The Truth is like a Lion, let it out and it will take care of itself.
The mainstream media is doing its best to keep the Truth locked up.
The American Press are just shameless, pathetic, paid Democrat liars.
It’s really, really hard to report the news when you are busy licking the crap from Obama’s boots.
