Newsbusters By Kevin Tober
On Friday, Fox News Digital reported how an ex-staffer for Democrat Congresswoman Katie Porter (CA-45) went public with allegations that Porter made racist comments to members of her staff, and “ridiculed people for reporting sexual harassment.” In the days since this report, the big three networks (ABC, CBS, & NBC) ignored the news of Porter’s toxic work environment during their morning and evening broadcasts on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Instead of reporting Porter’s apparent racial slurs and other inappropriate comments against her staff, on Monday evening the three nightly newscasts (ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News) covered a scaffolding collapse in Charlotte, North Carolina (ABC & NBC), and actor Jeremy Renner’s injury in a snow plow accident (CBS).
Apparently, those stories were bigger news than a recently reelected Democrat congresswoman using racial slurs when talking to her staff.
