From FoxNews.com…
Much of the liberal media has downplayed or outright ignored the assault and robbery of former California Sen. Barbara Boxer, but no news organization has done more to sweep the once-prominent Democrat under the rug like MSNBC.
It was first reported on Monday evening that Boxer was attacked by two thieves and had her cellphone stolen while walking in her hometown of Oakland. MSNBC avoided the breaking news during its primetime lineup.
The blackout of coverage on the 24-hour cable news network continued throughout Tuesday and into Wednesday, according to Grabien transcripts. In contrast, MSNBC dedicated more time to the passing of former Republican Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi, who died following a tragic bicycle accident, with early morning mentions on “Way Too Early” and “Morning Joe.”
MSNBC, like other liberal networks, frequently downplay or avoid subjects that are unflattering to Democrats or perhaps interfere with a political narrative. That being said, what’s most bizarre about the Peacock network’s ongoing snub of the former California senator is the fact that she was invited on-air just days prior to the assault.
