My first thought: “what coverage?”
Opened the article, and…
>MSNBC has led overall coverage, airing 1 hour and 11 minutes on the story from May 9 through June 9. Among other cable news outlets, CNN aired 9 minutes, followed by Fox News with 3 minutes of coverage.
>Corporate broadcast TV news aired a mere 4 minutes of combined coverage — CBS aired 3 minutes, while ABC aired the remaining 1 minute. NBC failed to cover the story at all during the studied period.
YEP. That’s what I thought.
Ridiculous
