NewsBusters analysts looked at the crime coverage in these cities on the networks from January 1, 2022 through September 30th and found few mentions of people like Larry Krasner (Philadelphia District Attorney), Chesa Boudin (recalled San Francisco District Attorney), George Gascon (Los Angeles District Attorney) and Kim Foxx (State attorney for Cook County, Illinois).
Here’s the scant amount of coverage for these leftists and how each of them is connected to the far-left Soros.
Larry Krasner, District Attorney in Philadelphia
On September 30, Philadelphia reached the grim milestone of 400 murders. On September 27, five teenagers were shot at a city high school. Yet, in the totality of 2022, ABC, CBS and NBC only allowed four mentions of the city’s district attorney, Larry Krasner. Why does that name mater? On March 23, the City Journal explained back in March, “[He] recently announced plans to de-prosecute crimes for offenders aged 18 to 25, ignoring how this age group tends to contain the most violent of criminal defendants.”
None of the few mentions noted that Soros donated $1.7 million in 2017 to elect Krasner. Instead, on the August 17 CBS Evening News, reporter Elaine Quijano acted clueless about the rising crime, asking the DA: “What do you think is behind this spike in violence?” Naturally, he blamed a lack of gun control.
