You would think these networks would be very interested in this.

So I wanted to talk about the role of Nick Shirley.

You mentioned him.

NBC waited to cover this story until Shirley's expose went viral, effectively.

How common is it to see this kind of delayed response from these networks?

We also saw that with CNN.

Can you speak to their coverage of this?

They seem like they've been particularly hostile towards Shirley.

Really hard-hitting.

We've come to expect no less from them.

Stepping back a little bit here, this entire episode, the coverage of the scandal, how does it fit into MRC's broader findings about media bias, particularly in the Trump era?

Meanwhile, we have walls pulling out of the race.

We'll see how the media continues to cover even the political races in Minnesota if the fraud scandal inevitably comes up or if they figure out ways to bury that from their coverage.

Bill, thank you so much for joining us.
