Chemical Weapons Attack in Syria Violates Obama's 'Red Line'; NBC, ABC
A chemical attack in Syria that may have killed as many as 1300 people was of little interest to ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday.

Forget All the Problems With ObamaCare, There's a New White House Dog
Rather than focus on the myriad of problems plaguing the implementation of ObamaCare, on Tuesday, all three network morning shows instead provided coverage of the First Family getting a second dog.
