ABC Spent Less than a Minute on Federal Cuomo Probe, Almost 4x on Cruz Optics

Having not touched New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home scandal story since Monday and despite two days of continuously unfolding revelations, the Thursday edition of ABC’s World News Tonight spent just 54 seconds telling viewers about the federal investigation into his deadly corruption.
Along with ignoring the moves by state Democrats to remove his emergency powers and possibly impeach him, the left-leaning broadcast network spent nearly four times the airtime (3.85 to be precise) focused on Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz’s bad Cancun optics than on Cuomo.
Even worse, the newscast has yet to even acknowledge Saturday’s resignation of TJ Ducklo as White House deputy press secretary after it became public on Friday that he had threatened Politico‘s Tara Palmeri.
In all, World News Tonight spent three minutes and 28 seconds going after the Republican because, according to him, he was dropping off his daughter and her friends in Cancun, Mexico since her school was canceled the rest of the week. His decision to take the trip came as Texas was in the middle of a crisis where many were without power and water as a deep freeze crippled the state’s power grid.
