Tim Walz’s Pedophile Pardon Gets Skipped on TV

Sexual abuse of minors is a serious crime. But when it comes to the national media, the crime is only serious if it can make Republicans look bad. Recently, Curtis Houck of the Media Research Center found that ABC, CBS and NBC devoted 1,627 minutes of airtime on their morning, evening and Sunday shows over the last year to the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, which was overwhelmingly concentrated on Donald Trump.

On July 2, The New York Times reported on the front page that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and two other officials pardoned Tou Lue Vang — a man convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl — so he could avoid deportation by the Trump administration. Vang’s original order of removal came in 2006.

Where were ABC, CBS and NBC on this scandal? We couldn’t find any broadcast coverage. PBS and NPR didn’t show up on this story, either. Walz was almost vice president, and they still couldn’t find it.

They skipped it again on July 10, when ICE deported Vang, about 20 years too late. Laos was not accepting the return of Laotians back in the George W. Bush era, but they are now.

Walz only came up on MS NOW in recounting........
