Some of our major networks made an editorial decision not to cover the upcoming hearing, ordered by the judge overseeing the Trump trial in Atlanta, regarding misconduct allegations against Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis. We are thus reminded of that great Iowahawk quote: “Journalism is about covering important stories, With a pillow. Until they stop moving.”
Unlike NBC and CBS, ABC mustered the time and effort to cover the Willis saga. Watch a sample of their report below:
PIERRE THOMAS: Tonight, a Georgia judge ordering Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to answer allegations she has improperly "engaged in a personal, romantic relationship" with one of the special prosecutors she hired to help her try the sprawling election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants. The accusations against Willis came in a filing by one of those co-defendants, former Trump campaign aide Mike Roman. Without providing evidence, he claims Willis engaged in a secret relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who her office has paid $650,000 to help try the case. And that Willis "personally benefited" because Wade allegedly used some of that money to take her on lavish vacations.
