NewsBusters can be found at Been reporting recent days, the broadcast networks were going all-in on trying to keep Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s dwindling chances to win the gubernatorial in Virginia alive. But while they take McAuliffe’s side against Republican Glenn Youngkin, they were leaving him completely unvetted. We had fortunately The Daily Wire to investigate the Democrat’s ties to a law firm that fights against rape victims and with which he has taken a paycheck as recently as this election year.
Instead of reporting on McAuliffe’s connection to this firm during Tuesday’s NBC Nightly News, chief White House correspondent Kristen Welker flew the campaign’s banner. “But Youngkin has gained ground by running attack ads highlighting this controversial McAuliffe comment, which McAuliffe insists was taken out of context,” she proclaimed, playing a soundbite of his contempt for parents having a say in education.
If Welker was concerned that McAuliffe’s words were “taken out of context,” she could have looked to her colleague and NBC political director, Chuck Todd. McAuliffe said the comments in McAuliffe’s debate. She used the same shot to show him in her report.
Meanwhile, ABC’s World News Tonight was busy gushing about a guy who found and bought his mother’s old ’71 Cutlass Supreme. Und CBS Evening NewsWas busy hype-ing a Japanese princess, who refused a dowry. She lost her title.
Luke Rosiak, Daily Wire’s investigative reporter, was tasked with shedding light on this story.
“A law firm that employed Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe has made a cottage industry out of aggressively fighting victims of alleged sexual abuse in schools, being paid huge sums by school administrators whom the girls say ignored their accusations,” he reported
According to their findings, they will go against teenage girls who have been the victims of really heinous acts.
McAuliffe was the senior advisor at Hunton Andrews Kurth from 2018 to recently in one instance. She claims that McAuliffe raped her as a 12-year-old on Fairfax County’s middle school campus. He also claimed that she had been slashed, burnt with a lighter and then anally penetrated.
They would even try to get victims’ identities exposes even when they were facing death threats from their attackers.
“The law firm and McAuliffe’s campaign refused to comment on whether the law firm still employs McAuliffe by the deadline but McAuliffe reported income apparently linked to the firm in 2021, after announcing his run for governor of Virginia on December 8, 2020,” Rosiak reported.
The firm was also casing a case to the Supreme Court where they hoped to upend protections for young victims “while protecting administrators who failed to act.”
The networks also omitted how, during his first run as governor, McAuliffe blocked “a bipartisan bill that would have required parents to be notified of explicit material and assigned reading,” as reported by Alexandria Hoff on Fox News Channel’s Special ReportTomorrow, Tuesday.
By ignoring McAuliffe’s ties to this firm, the networks were flaunting just how politically driven they were. They would have been all over McAuliffe’s ties to this firm if he were a Republican. However, they are determined to preserve the Virginia governor’s mansion for Democratic use.
This blackout of Terry McAuliffe’s ties to a law firm fighting against rape victims was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Ring on ABC, Salonpas on CBS, and Consumer Cellular on NBC. You can find their contact information linked to let you know about biased news that they finance.
