The legacy media still covering for Biden


A tale of two pardons: Which did the media spend 1,300% more time on, Trump's or Biden's?

Some networks spent less than a minute discussing President Biden pre-emptively pardoning his family.

ABC, CBS, and NBC dedicated over 13 times more seconds of coverage to Donald Trump's pardons of January 6 defendants than to Joe Biden pardoning his family members, data showed.

The Media Research Center conducted an analysis of the three networks to determine the amount of time that was spent on the two presidents and their pardons. The researchers specified the airtime given to Trump's pardoning of Jan. 6, 2021, defendants and the airtime given to pardons issued by President Biden before he left office.

Biden issued blanket pardons for his brothers, Francis Biden and James Biden, his sister-in-law Sara Biden, his sister, Valerie Biden Owens, and his brother-in-law, John Owens, for any nonviolent offenses committed against the U.S. since Jan. 1, 2014.

Trump issued pardons upon taking office to more than 1,500 people charged for their presence or participation during the Capitol protest and riot on January 6.
