Steve King (R-IA) made comments on Wednesday criticizing rape and incest exceptions to abortion bans. Although CNN and MSNBC covered the topic more, both networks prioritized the inaccurate narrative that King's position is an aberration from the Republican Party’s stance on abortion access. On August 14, King defended eliminating rape and incest exceptions from abortion bans, suggesting that there wouldn’t be “any population of the world left” if abortions were allowed in these instances. Media Matters analyzed coverage of King’s comments on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox from the time the story broke around 2 p.m. on August 14 through 9 a.m. the next day. We found that CNN covered the topic for 54 minutes and 28 seconds, followed by MSNBC reporting on it for 40 minutes and 28 seconds. Meanwhile, Fox News discussed King’s remarks for a meager one minute and 22 seconds. This silence from Fox News is uncharacteristic, as the network typically dominates abortion-related conversations with sensationalized misinformation. CNN’s and MSNBC’s coverage, however, repeated a right-wing media framing of the story." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
