As Trans-Pacific Partnership Debate Rages, Broadcast Evening News Stays Silent

The blatant omission is appalling.


Broadcast nightly news programs have remained silent on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) over the past three months of weekday programming, even as Congress is scheduled to vote this week on whether to grant President Obama authority to finalize the terms of the massive trade deal. The coverage blackout continues a trend extending back to 2013.
