As reported at Newsbusters, the liberal media is creating their new "Russia-gate" with their over the top coverage of Jeffrey Epstein. Media bias is what you cover and what you don't.
Since a July 7 Justice Department memo declared an “exhaustive review” of the Jeffrey Epstein case found he died by suicide and there was no evidence of a “client list,” ABC, CBS, and NBC have treated the so-called “Epstein Files” as the new Russiagate, submerging President Trump with a stunning 821 minutes of coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC.
A Media Research Center analysis examined all mentions of Epstein (and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell) starting July 7 on ABC, CBS, and NBC across their flagship morning and evening newscasts and the Sunday political talk shows.
Through Tuesday morning, ABC accounted for roughly 358 minutes of the overall total, which was nearly double CBS at 187 minutes. In between, NBC clocked in at almost 276 minutes.
The Epstein scandal has a long way to go to meet the original Russiagate tally of 2,284 minutes on these same newscasts, but 274 minutes in only five months is a serviceable start.
