1. ABC and NBC Ignore Heartbreaking Video of Iraqis Desperately Escaping ISIS Terror
Only CBS This Morning on Tuesday bothered to cover the heartbreaking video of Iraqi refugees rushing a helicopter in a desperate attempt to escape the violence of the terrorist group ISIS. NBC’s Today and ABC’s Good Morning America ignored the gripping video. CBS reporter David Martin narrated the CNN-supplied footage: “Iraqi Army helicopters fly in at 100 feet in broad daylight to push pallets of food and water out the door. When one found a piece of ground level enough to land on, it was immediately rushed by men, women and children, desperate to escape the Sinjar Mountains.” More: http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/us-spokesman-iraqi-christians-msnbc-isis-carrying-out-full-blown-genocide
2. U.S. Spokesman for Iraqi-Christians on MSNBC: ISIS Carrying Out ‘A Full-Blown Genocide’On Tuesday morning, MSNBC and Telemundo anchor Jose Diaz-Balart brought a guest on his MSNBC show to discuss the targeted killing and persecution of Christians in Iraq at the hands of the ultra-Islamic terrorist group ISIS. The guest, Mark Arabo, who serves as the national spokesman for the Chaldeans, (the sect of Iraqi Christians facing ISIS’s terror), told Diaz-Balart that the actions of ISIS are that of “a full-blown genocide” in targeting the 400,000 Christians in Iraq. When asked by Diaz-Balart for his take on the actions of the Obama administration so far in Iraq, Arabo said that he and the Iraqi community in Southern California near San Diego (which is the second largest in the U.S.) first “sounded this alarm from San Diego eight weeks ago and we’ve been as clear as we are today: This is a full-blown genocide.” More: http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/us-spokesman-iraqi-christians-msnbc-isis-carrying-out-full-blown-genocide |
3. CNBC’s Harwood: World ‘Blowing Up’ Under Obama Is ‘Big Problem’ for Hillary ClintonAppearing on CNBC’s Squawk Box Tuesday morning, the business network’s chief Washington correspondent John Harwood acknowledged that President Obama’s failed foreign policy would be an obstacle to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential ambitions: “…her independent credential running for president is that she was President Obama’s secretary of state. The world is now blowing up. So that is a big problem for her. And so she’s going to be looking for ways to separate herself from the current foreign policy mess.” Harwood’s comments were prompted by host Joe Kernen asking about a quote in The Daily Beast in which Obama reportedly dismissed Clinton’s recent criticism of his handling of the Middle East as “horsesh**t.” In response, Harwood observed: “It wouldn’t surprised me if he said that….I’m sure that that’s how he feels about the criticism, he’s made that pretty clear.” More: http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/cnbcs-harwood-world-blowing-under-obama-big-problem-hillary-clinton |
4. ‘Big Three’ Networks Ignore White House Reversing Lobbyist Ban
On Tuesday, August 12, Politico’s Byron Tau reported how the Obama White House is planning to “reverse a key part of its ban on registered lobbyists serving in government.” Despite yet another major flip-flop from the Obama Administration regarding its relationship with lobbyists, none of the “big three” networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) covered the story on their Tuesday evening newscasts. Rather than cover the Obama Administration’s reversal on its so-called lobbying ban, both ABC’sWorld News with Diane Sawyer and the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley had time to gush over panda triplets born through artificial breeding. NBC Nightly News played up a video of a Chicago Cubs fan catching a home run during a game on Monday night.
