Since May 24, the liberal cable (CNN and MSNBC) and broadcast (ABC, CBS, and NBC) networks have spent just over 38 minutes on the conservative backlash against Target’s pride-themed children’s apparel. CNN was by far the most interested in the boycott, with a total of 31 minutes of airtime. MSNBC aired a more modest five minutes and 44 seconds, while NBC — the only broadcast network to mention the boycott — spent 112 seconds on it.
But none of those 38 minutes included even a mention of the spate of bomb threats made against Target by a purported LGBT activist. Even when the threats resulted in forced evacuations of several Target stores, the media remained tight-lipped.
