On Wednesday, ABC’s Good Morning America became the first lead broadcast network morning or evening newscast to mention the Justice Department’s indictment of the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for defrauding donors by paying millions to white supremacists and other extremists, including the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and those behind the infamous 2017 Charlottesville rally. ABC only doled out 31 seconds to the charges at the end of a segment that had spent nearly two minutes prior (1:51) bemoaning FBI Director Kash Patel’s public comments about his defamation suit against The Atlantic for its anonymously-sourced smear campaign. Worse yet, ABC whined the administration targeted not only “a prominent civil rights organization,” but “one of the most prominent in the nation.” ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’ was the first lead broadcast network newscast on Wednesday to cover the Justice Dept announcing charges against the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center for allegedly defrauding donors and secretly paying members of extremist groups like the KKK. — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck)
