The broadcast news shows covered Cecil the lion more in one day than they spent on the Planned Parenthood videos in two weeks – and that discrepancy only continues to grow.

In two days, ABC, NBC and CBS have spent 30 minutes, 1 second on Cecil, a famed African lion shot by an American dentist. But anchors couldn’t spare nearly as much time for the videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s harvesting of aborted baby parts. Since the release of the Center for Medical Progress’ first video two weeks ago, the networks have spent only 11 minutes, 13 seconds on the story.

Not since July 21 have the networks mentioned the videos, which means they completely censored the third video unveiled July 28. The fourth video was released Thursday morning.

But since Tuesday night, every news show from ABC, NBC and CBS has poured minutes into the story about Cecil.

On July 29, anchor Lester Holt noted the “anger” and “outcry” during NBC’s Nightly News, while host David Muir stressed the “outrage” for ABC World News Tonight.

For ABC’s Good Morning America on July 30, anchor George Stephanopoulos noted the dentist now “vilified across the internet.” (Speaking of the internet, the Planned Parenthood videos boast millions of views online …)
