Democrats opposed the Republican-authored police reform bill Wednesday – but anyone who relies on the evening newscasts of ABC, NBC or CBS for information would have no idea.
ABC’s “World News Tonight,” “NBC Nightly News” and CBS’ “Evening News” all ignored the story on Wednesday night, according to NewsBusters.
The Democrats, who opposed the bill on the basis it did not go far enough, sparked a furious war of words on the floor, marking an apparent impasse just weeks after George Floyd's death while under the study of Minneapolis police led to calls for new legislation.

People who rely on evening newscasts nowadays are likely very limited sorts of people.
Tell me about it...my law degreed niece thinks Freerepublic.com and Breitbart are biased...
THIS is where TRUMP needs to start weaponizing the podium:
Announce a PRESS Conference - Trump will take questions.
Trump “Opens” 20 Minute Press Conference with, in this case,
The Republican led Policing reform bill championed by Tim Scott. Show video highlights of Scott calling Democrats out.
THEN Trump spends all but a few minutes LAMBASTING Democrats.
We’ll open up for a couple questions - No more than 2 or 3.
WALK OFF PODIUM.
Do this for every message.
This should be SOP from now to election.
Who cares? GOP is focusing on police “reform” instead of law and order, and defending America’s heritage. GOP is weak and stupid.
Sure, that’s how Trump wins re-election, by running on “police reform”. I think Ivanka may actually believe that!
Not to worry. Everyone should talk about this fact. Trump should mention it at his rallies and point out the media as hiding this bit of news. They will be force to defend and twist themselves into pretzels trying to spin this.
“Who cares? GOP is focusing on police “reform” instead of law and order, and defending America’s heritage. GOP is weak and stupid.”
Some reform IS needed. No-Knock warrants and much of the militarization of the police is bad for all of us. Law and order works better when it isn’t enforced by people who look like jack-booted thugs in body armor and carrying automatic weapons for a traffic stop. Though your last sentence is quite true. Need a bunch of better Republicans in the party.
And why shouldn’t they? They are part of the COUP!!!
Was THAT my main point? The POINT was weaponizing the podium.
I just used the topic of police reform. The POINT is, the MSM will not give Trump any time at all. Holding news conferences draws them all in. Trump shouldn’t stand there being peppered by questions he needs to go on ATTACK and answer just a few questions.
These networks report narrative, not truth. Withholding this information form their viewers fits the agenda. A properly informed public is the last thing these “news” networks want.
ABC,NBC,CBS are showing their bias. It was evident long before this though. The fact that they would not cover this is a blatant attempt to influence the 2020 election in favor of the democrats. Some people, if they saw what the democrats did in opposing the police reform, would vote against the democrats, but some wouldn’t.

BETRAYERS WILL BE REWARDED ...

I wouldn’t give a ‘plugged nickel’ for the lives of these leftist media apparatchiks in the future.
The angry BETRAYED People wont wait to hang them from lampposts ...

As our president always says, these are the most dishonest people. Stuff like this is why in a new Gallup poll media is rated the lowest group in our society.
