ABC deletes Trump’s March for Life reference in its online transcript
The Washington Times ^ | 01/27/2017 | Kelly Riddell

In an interview with ABC News that aired earlier this week, President Donald Trump complained to anchor David Muir about the mainstream media’s lack of coverage for the March of Life.

When Mr. Muir asked if Mr. Trump could hear the protesters from the progressive Women’s March on Washington from the White House, Mr. Trump responded, saying:

“No, I couldn’t hear them. The crowds were large, but you will have a large crowd on Friday, too, which is mostly pro-life people. You’re going to have a lot of people coming on Friday. And I will say this, and I didn’t realize this. But I was told. You will have a very large crowd of people. I don’t know as large or larger. Some people said it will be larger. Pro-life people and they say the press doesn’t cover them.”

Mr. Trump boldly referenced the March of Life, which his Vice President Mike Pence will attend, and correctly said it received little to no air-time on the nightly news shows. A report by the Media Research Center released this week found the major television networks gave the Women’s March 129 times more coverage than last year’s March for Life.

Yet, surprisingly (or maybe not) the entire exchange about the two marches was edited out of ABC’s official transcript of the interview.

The media is in dread of the wrath of feminazis.

I briefly went through the complete transcript at Fortune, and the ABC transcript, which is considerably shorter. Then I looked again at the top of the ABC site, and it says: Below is a transcript of the interview.

So I believe there are verbatim transcripts and summary transcripts. Is this common knowledge? What is the industry standard when it comes to the use of the word "transcript"?

As a proud affiliate of the Ministry of Truth ABC adheres to the standards set by the late great George Orwell.

Did ABC actually think no one would notice the omission from the transcript? Two reasons not to trust the MSM — their dishonesty and their stupidity.


I suspect they are appealing to the low-info lib voter who is lazy about obtaining information.

BTW, Isn’t this is the same interview where ABC inserted promos for the TV Show “Designated Survivor” where the President and Congress is blown up?

ABC is downright evil!
