A charitable analysis of ABC, NBC, and CBS’s Friday evening and Saturday morning broadcasts would find that the six shows combined to give the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., a measly 48 seconds of coverage.
Neither ABC’s Saturday edition of Good Morning America, NBC’s Today, nor CBS Saturday Morning acknowledged the rally’s existence, meaning all the coverage came on Friday evening.
NBC Nightly News also skipped the rally altogether, giving NBC zero combined seconds. Still, zero seconds is somehow an improvement for NBC because last year, not only did they omit the March for Life, they actively promoted pro-abortion high schoolers.
CBS Evening News was only aired on the West Coast due to golf coverage and on the network’s online streaming service. Host Nancy Cordes only gave the rally 21 seconds, “Thousands of anti-abortion rights activists converged on the nation's capital today for the annual March for Life. President Trump addressed the crowd in a video while Vice President JD Vance spoke in person. Activists are encouraged by Trump's election victory and his decision to pardon protesters who blocked access to abortion clinics.”
Meanwhile, ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir found 27 seconds to discuss the rally, “In Washington today, thousands of people turned out for the annual March for Life rally. The first march since Republicans won the White House and both houses of Congress and 24 hours after President Trump issued full pardons to 23 anti-abortion rights activists convicted of blockading abortion clinics. Vice President Vance and Congressional leaders addressed the crowd. In a prerecorded message, Trump pledged to push for further restrictions on abortion.”
What Muir and Cordes left out of their mentions of Trump’s pardons is that the Biden Administration not only went after communist gulag survivors and other elderly protesters but insisted on harsher-than-usual sentences in order to make a point.
Here are transcripts for the January 24 shows:

If they were journalists they would notice that stories have two or more sides. Presenting only what they personally agree with is propaganda and cuts off a large portion of the audience.
They won’t change, though.
If they were journalists they would go where the news actually is and cover it.
They are still in a coma from last week. What do you expect from a bunch of Satanists.
During the 1990s the LA Times did a big story on how they weren’t covering these and how it showed their bias by ignoring such huge pro-life events, it was a very unusual thing for them to do.
In a coma or screaming and crying their eyes out?
What are the women doing?
Cecile Richards is still a corpse.
That’s OK, I’ve “skipped” those networks for 20 years now. I’ve only skipped FOX for four years.
Just a guess but I think that smirk and glint are gone now.
[Just a guess but I think that smirk and glint are gone now.]
You know, you may be correct.
Still, she had a Lamborghini. I’m sure that’s good for Eternity.
I see they used the term anti-abortion instead of pro-life. Every liberal group gets to label their causes however they like and the media goes along with it.
But pro-life groups don’t get that.
Don’t forget, killing unborn babies is now “Women’s Health Care.”
