While the broadcast networks have largely turned a blind eye to the reported “rapidly deteriorating” mental state of Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA), the pressure has been turned up for them to report something after some of her Democratic colleagues have made public pleas for her to resign after being absent for two months as she reportedly recovers from shingles. But while CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today show ran segments on Thursday regarding the calls for her to resign, ABC’s Good Morning America kept their viewers in the dark.

Instead of covering this sore spot for Democrats, ABC preferred to boast about two controversial Tennessee Democrats being reinstated to their seats in the state legislature. Good Morning America also hyped the latest drama from the British royal family.

On CBS however, correspondent Scott MacFarlane took a breather from his January 6 obsession and seemingly decided to see how many times he could say the word “pivotal” to describe Feinstein and her work:

In a narrowly divided U.S. Senate, Diane Feinstein is a pivotal vote at a pivotal moment. She's the oldest U.S. senator and has been absent now for two months as she recovers from shingles.

In a statement last night, she said her return to Washington has been delayed due to continued complications. And also, in a rare request, she asked Senate Democratic leaders to temporarily fill her seat on the pivotal Senate Judiciary Committee.
