CBS, NBC Give Scant Coverage to Rick Santorum’s 2016 Presidential Announcement

Following Rick Santorum’s announcement late Wednesday that he will mount a bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, CBS and NBC largely punted on news of a seventh Republican candidate entering the field with a combined 37 seconds of airtime on their Wednesday evening newscasts.

Over on the Spanish-language networks, however, the coverage was even less as there was zero mention of Santorum’s announcement on the Wednesday evening newscasts of MundoFox, Telemundo, and Univision.
