Networks censor rape story involving illegal immigrant, but gave 11 minutes in two days to fake UVA rape

The “big three” networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- continued their shameful blackout into Wednesday night of the horrifying rape of a teenage girl in a Maryland high school bathroom, allegedly by two men, including one who police say is in the U.S. illegally.

Instead, the pathetic liberal media that’s shown no interest in the Rockville High School case complied with Rolling Stone in giving more than 10 minutes of coverage in two days to the fake 2014 claim that a University of Virginia fraternity gang-raped a female student.

Before breaking down how blind the media were in furthering a narrative about college fraternities and sexual assault (which can be a noble cause), the pro-illegal immigrant media were surely displeased with the Fox News Channel’s "Special Report" as it again offered a story on the events in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Fill-in host James Rosen noted that “the Maryland State House of Delegates has approved a bill to make Maryland a sanctuary state...just days after Maryland authorities charged two immigrants, one of them confirmed to be here illegally, in the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl in a Rockville High School bathroom.”
Correspondent Doug McKelway provided the latest from the school and told viewers how the cowards with the school district banned TV cameras from Tuesday’s packed PTA meeting as “[t]he red-hot controversy...lit up social media.”
McKelway also noted how the school district has shifted their focus from the rape to blaming average citizens for being outraged about how such a thing could have happened.

At the same time, local and state Democrats went ahead with their desire to make Rockville and Maryland a sanctuary city and state, respectively. This was despite strong opposition from Republican Gov. Larry Hogan.
This lack of seriousness by the liberal media was no issue back in fall 2014 when Rolling Stone detailed a graphic gang rape of a young woman at a University of Virginia fraternity.
Without corroborating any of the facts, ABC’s "World News Tonight" spent 4 minutes and 30 seconds on the allegations on November 23 and 24 of that year. "NBC Nightly News"and serial liar Brian Williams had 4 minutes and 16 seconds over those same two days. "CBS Evening News" was third with a single, 1-minute-and-56-second segment on the 24th.

I initially wrote about this on December 6, 2014, after it had become clear that the Rolling Stonestory wasn’t true and, you know, fake news.
In that post, I noted that the coverage total was much higher, but I included opening teases for the newscasts. The coverage by the same evening newscasts was far lower on Dec. 5, 2014, about the rape being fake news to the tune of 7 minutes and 28 seconds.
Funny how that works whenever the liberal media is discovered to have egg on their faces.

MRCTV's Brittany Hughes Slams Network Blackout of Alleged MD Rape By Illegal Immigrant

By NB Staff | March 23, 2017 | 2:02 PM EDT

On Thursday morning’s Fox & Friends, Brittany Hughes of our sister site MRCTV lambasted ABC, CBS, and NBC for their callous refusal to cover the alleged heinous rape of a female student in a Washington D.C. suburban high school by two men and one of which is here in the country illegally.

Hughes also decimated the media for their failure to report on the incident at Rockville High School, but instead cover what type of pasta is tastier and an electric car being put on stilts.

“You know what's really interesting is that none of the news media are talking about this. None of the major outlets and that's includes CNN, MSNBC. None of the major outlets are giving any time to this story and I think that's really a travesty here. You’ve got a young woman who is sexually assaulted by an illegal alien who wasn't even supposed to be in this country in the first place,” Hughes explained to the show’s co-hosts.

She also took time to note how, similarly, “absolutely nothing is being said about it” even though “last month a transgender immigrant illegal alien was actually picked up by ICE and they had a criminal history, they had been deported from this country five or six different times and, of course, that was wall-to-wall coverage.”

In contrast, she added:

"But then you now have a situation where a young woman is the victim of illegal alien crime in this country and the media won't report on it because they are too busy slamming President Donald Trump's agenda and this would hurt their narrative. This would hurt, you know, their agenda to take down any policy that he puts in place and I think that's really sad."

Co-host Ainsley Earhardt then brought up a Wednesday evening post by NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck, which thoroughly exposed the media double standard when it came to not covering this story from Montgomery County, Maryland but giving their blind faith to a fake rape story from the University of Virginia.

“Do you remember the fake UVA case it turned out to be bogus? The networks spent, over a matter of two days, spent 11 minutes on that story. So that was about fraternity boys, white fraternity boys...allegedly raping someone on campus. They spent a lot of time on that. Why would they spend time on that story and not this one,” Earhardt wondered.

Hughes responded that it’s “because that fits” their agenda. She continued to pile drive the liberal media into the ground:

"Their agenda is a left-leaning, liberal agenda. If you have a story, even if it's debunked on a campus that, you know, is an anti-man, you know, college rape case that you can run on and further a liberal agenda then, obviously, that is what the liberal media is going to do. If you have a case in this instance where you have someone the victim of illegal alien crime and to report that story, well, that would lend credence to Donald Trump's immigration policies, that would lend credence to those who say we need to tighten border security. You know, and the media doesn't want to do that. They don't want to further that narrative."

As we often do here at NewsBusters, Hughes astutely pointed to examples of what ABC and CBS gave airtime to instead of another crime allegedly committed by an illegal alien:

"So you will have something like on Monday, this incident happened last Thursday, a week ago and you have on Monday, Fox News is reporting on it and ABC is spending time on things like whether or not more expensive pasta is better than cheaper pasta and CBS is talking about an electric car you can put up on stilts. Apparently, this young woman, her life, what happened to her, the fact that she was a victim of bad liberal policies that failed her, that is not worthy of covering but pasta is. I'm not sure how we have gotten to the point in this country where that's acceptable as a woman frankly that offends me. As an American it offends me."
