Since the leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization draft decision, leftwing cable networks have conducted 65 televised interviews with Planned Parenthood employees, amounting to over four hours of airtime.
MRC analysts combed all 6:00am to 12:00am ET coverage on CNN and MSNBC between May 2 – the date the draft was leaked – and June 28, and found that former and current Planned Parenthood officials had appeared as guests a combined total of 65 times. It’s more than one interview a day.
MSNBC conducted 48 such interviews during the specified 57-day period, while CNN was responsible for the remaining 17. They lasted a combined 251 minute (4 hours 11 minutes)
On both May 2 and June 24, MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell hosted the same three Planned Parenthood-affiliated guests within a single hour: Cecile Richards, the organization’s former president; Kelley Robinson, the current vice president of advocacy and organizing; and Minnesota Senator Tina Smith, whom the Planned Parenthood Action Fund notes is “the highest ranking former Planned Parenthood executive in U.S. politics.”
It is remarkable that an average interview frequency of over one per day for nearly two years is this high. This frequency indicates just how friendly a relationship Planned Parenthood enjoys with these two networks – which in turn speaks volumes about the political agenda being pushed at CNN and MSNBC.
This longstanding friendship between the leftwing media and Planned Parenthood also recently resulted in a classic “revolving door” scenario for former CBS reporter Kate Smith. It was April of this year, only 10 months ago After leavingSmith, her CBS-related beat on abortion Was hiredPlanned Parenthood’s senior director for news content. She has since represented the organization in two friendly interviews on CNN’s Reliable sources.
Given how The ability to feel emotionally the leftwing media are in the institution of abortion, it’s no surprise that they would have an equally fond view of the nation’s largest abortion provider.
