With the notable exception of NBC Nightly News, the evening network newscasts fell over themselves to promote Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to a Minnesota Planned Parenthood clinic – the first of its kind by a sitting president or vice president. The exuberance at the executive cosigning of the continued slaughter of the unborn was quite palpable.
Of these, the most exuberant is, as expected, ABC. Here’s a segment from correspondent Rachel Scott’s report – a master class in Biden apple-polishing:
Tonight, Kamala Harris making history as the first vice president to visit a women’s health clinic where abortions are provided, a sign of just how central this issue has become to the Biden campaign.
ABC was most on-message from a Biden propaganda standpoint, mentioning the overturning of Roe v. Wade FOUR TIMES within a two-minute report. Additionally, Rachel Scott highlighted the disgraceful moment wherein President Joe Biden attacked the Supreme Court during his State of the Union address.
CBS took a different tack, acting more as Planned Parenthood comms than Biden campaign comms, focusing on the healthcare crisis aspect of the event’s messaging, and getting reactions both from the head doctor at the facility, and the governor of Minnesota.
Univision and Telemundo both ran items on the visit by Vice President Harris, known by some within the Hispanic community as Qué Mala Harris. In contrast with the fluffery of ABC and CBS, the Spanish-language networks got in and out in under 20 seconds – public relations briefs instead of campaign events. Of these, and shocking no one whatsoever, Univision’s is the most egregious.
