ABC World News Was The Only Evening Network Newscast To Ignore The Net Neutrality Announcement
ABC World News Tonight with David Muir was the only one of the three broadcast evening newscasts to ignore the Obama administration’s announcement supporting net neutrality. NBC Nightly News and CBS Evening News both covered the story.
President Obama issued a statement on Monday asking the Federal Communications Commission to “implement the strongest possible rules to protect net neutrality.” Obama asked the FCC to put into effect “bright-line rules” that would prevent Internet providers from blocking access to services, throttling Internet speeds or forcing one service to be prioritized over another. He also asked for providers to have to be more transparent in how their services operate.
