DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., demanded in a letter Thursday that corporate media networks answer for “biased” coverage of the 2024 presidential election. The North Dakota Republican’s letter, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation, is addressed to top network executives at CBS, Disney Entertainment, NBCUniversal, and Fox Television Stations Group. (Disney Entertainment owns ABC and ABC News.) In the letter, Cramer called out the networks for biased coverage of President-elect Donald Trump. “Eight years ago, I sent a letter to your predecessors on behalf of concerned citizens nationwide, addressing the blatant media bias observed during the 2016 presidential election,” Cramer wrote. “To date, none of your perspective networks have responded. Following the 2024 presidential election, I find myself compelled to write once more—this time with even greater urgency.” Letter Addressing Media Bias Post-2024 Election There have been various examples of apparent media bias in the past few years, such as when ABC News journalists Linsey Davis and David Muir faced criticism after they moderated the network’s Sept. 10 presidential debate between Trump and Harris, as many viewers said they thought it was unfairly rigged against Trump. “Unfortunately, the concerns expressed in my 2016 letter have not only gone unaddressed but have worsened,” Cramer added. “Public confidence in your national news operations and programming has plummeted to unprecedented levels. Last month, a Gallup survey revealed the public’s trust in mass media has hit an all-time low, with only 31% of Americans expressing confidence in media integrity, and a mere 12% of Republicans maintaining any trust in the fairness of national news coverage.” Americans’ trust in the mass media was at a record low ahead of the election, according to a Gallup survey published Oct. 14. Around 36% of those surveyed said that they have “no trust at all” in the mass media, while 31% expressed a “great deal” or “fair amount” of confidence and 33% expressed “not very much” confidence. Cramer’s letter demands answers from the executives regarding how they would address concerns of partisan bias at their networks; it also asks about what hiring practices the networks had in place to promote fair journalism. Media coverage of the 2024 presidential election by national broadcast networks was the “most lopsided in history,” according to an Oct. 28 report published by Media Research Center’s NewsBusters. Cramer cited the report in his letter, mentioning how in July, several major networks including ABC, CBS, and NBC gave Vice President Kamala Harris 78% positive coverage, compared to Trump’s 85% negative coverage. “The editorial slant of your national news programming not only betrays the trust of Americans, but also undermines the exceptional work of local affiliates,” Cramer wrote. “These affiliates, especially those serving rural communities, work tirelessly to provide fair and valuable reporting, but their credibility is eroded by association with biased national coverage.” The networks didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Thursday's news of President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Robert F Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services has garnered much skepticism.
