  • Comedian Alex Stein has criticised US media networks ABC, CBS and NBC for their disproportionate broadcasting of Donald Trump's and Joe Biden's pardons.

The article from MSN discusses a study by the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication which analyzed the coverage of presidential pardons by former Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden on major U.S. broadcast networks. The study found that Trump's controversial pardons, particularly those of high-profile figures like Roger Stone and Paul Manafort, received significantly more airtime than Biden's pardons, which were mostly for non-violent drug offenses. Specifically, Trump's pardons were covered 11 times more frequently than Biden's. This disproportionate coverage was attributed to the sensational nature of Trump's pardons, which often involved individuals linked to political scandals or were seen as acts of favoritism. The study suggests that this skewed media attention might reflect broader biases in news reporting towards stories that are more likely to generate viewer interest due to their contentious or celebrity nature.
