ABC and NBC led their morning shows on Tuesday with nearly 10 minutes of "breaking news" coverage of Angelina Jolie's double mastectomy. This celebrity-driven story was apparently deemed more important than abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell being found guilty of three counts of first-degree murder, as Good Morning America and Today devoted just 38 seconds to the murder trial of Gosnell trial.
Altogether, the ABC and NBC morning newscasts aired 19 minutes and 3 seconds of coverage on Jolie.
