Primetime Newscasts Barely Mention House Intel Findings of ‘No Evidence of Collusion’

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee wrapped up its inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election on Monday without finding any evidence of collusion with the Trump campaign – but viewers of evening newscasts would hardly know it.

CBS’s “Evening News” spent only 31 seconds on the story, ABC’s “World News Tonight” covered the news for 27 seconds and NBC’s “Nightly News” didn’t even mention the news, according to the Media Research Center.

The mainstream media has spent months agonizing over alleged collusion, but the big three broadcast networks dedicated a total of 58 minutes to the committee’s findings. It will be interesting to see if the Democrats on the House panel, who are expected to put out their own report, receive more airtime.
