All Three Networks Ramp Up Push for Gun Control, Tout Obama's 'Urgent
All three network newscasts on Monday and the morning shows on Tuesday promoted Barack Obama's "urgent plea" for gun control.

ABC, CBS and NBC Turn a Blind Eye to ObamaCare Setbacks
For the past couple of weeks there has been a steady drip of bad news for ObamaCare, but you wouldn't know it if you only get your news from the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks.

Networks Ignore Obama's False Claim About 'Fully-Automatic Weapon' Use
The Big Three networks' Friday morning newscasts all highlighted the "backlash" over President Obama's "best-looking attorney general in the country" compliment of California's Kamala Harris.

Big Three Spotlight 'Backlash' Over President Obama's Compliment; Omit
ABC, CBS, and NBC's Friday morning shows all devoted air time to President Obama labeling California Attorney General Kamala Harris "the best-looking attorney general in the country" at a fundraiser on Thursday.

Only Off By 102,000; ABC Jumps the Gun and Announces 'Expected' Job Ga
Oops. Good Morning America on Friday preemptively announced "expected" job creation for the month of March totaling 190,000. In reality, 88,000 jobs were created.

Networks All Adopt Obama's Talking Points: President Is Expressing 'So
All three networks on Wednesday and Thursday parroted the exact same talking points from the White House, touting Barack Obama for expressing "solidarity" with struggling workers by taking a five percent pay cut.

Higher Gas Prices the ‘Price of Cleaner Air
New EPA regulations could increase the price of gas by nine cents or more when they take effect in the next four years, American Petroleum Institute (API) scientists say.

ABC was the worst of the three. Diane Sawyer and Jim Avila on the March 29 “…

ABC on Gay Marriage: '21st Century Social Movement' Vs. Old, 'Downrigh
