On the Thursday edition of WMAL’s "O’Connor & Company," Media Research Center (MRC) Founder and President Brent Bozell took ABC, CBS, and NBC to task for their “completely biased coverage of Donald Trump” as revealed by NewsBusters' latest study of the sham trial by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg interfering in the 2024 election.

"This is so serious that you should expect the networks to treat it seriously. They cannot get away from politics. If you look at the total amount of coverage since the jury selection began, there've been 600, I think, 640 minutes of coverage of this. Now you can say, 'Well, look. Look how important this is. Look how significant it is. There's going to be a massive amount of coverage.' And, I'll agree with you completely.

But now, look inside that coverage, which we've done. If you look inside that coverage, you'll see that out of the 640 minutes the networks have spent 244 of them with completely biased coverage of Donald Trump."

Bozell then went on to point out a very staggering statistic found in this study about the judge presiding over Trump's New York trial, Judge Juan Merchan.

"Out of 110 evening news stories, only three hinted that he was a Democrat," Bozell told O'Connor. "On "NBC Nightly News," there were exactly two references. On ABC, they let it slip once — and that was Donald Trump quoting it. And CBS once never mentioned it once on the trial."

The MRC founder continued by telling O'Connor of the study's observation concerning former Trump attorney, and the prosecution's star witness, Michael Cohen's history of being a convicted perjurer.

"What about Michael Cohen? The whole key to the Trump defense is that he is a serial liar and a convicted perjurer," Bozell added. "Nearly one third of the coverage discussed Michael Cohen, and yet, guess how many times they mentioned his conviction for perjury? Three minutes...The key to Donald Trump’s defense was given three minutes out of 640 minutes."

Simply incredible, and yet, not surprising considering the source that the establishment, propaganda media has been.
