Fox News chose not to air any live coverage of Attorney General Pam Bondi's appearance in front of the House Judiciary Committee

MS NOW and CNN aired more than 3 and 2 hours, respectively, of the hearing live

  • On February 11, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared as a witness in front of the House Judiciary Committee to answer questions about a number of growing controversies for the Trump administration, including the Department of Justice's slapdash release of 3 million documents from the Epstein files that failed to properly redact victims' names but managed to redact the names of potential co-conspirators and Homeland Security's poor handling of the deaths of American citizens at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis.

    MS NOW provided the most live coverage of the hearing, devoting 3 hours and 39 minutes to live coverage, while CNN spent 2 hours and 36 minutes airing live coverage. Meanwhile, Fox News did not show a single second of the hearing live, instead devoting most of its time to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

    We timed live coverage, which we defined as instances when a news program cut to live coverage of the hearing.

    We rounded all times to the nearest minute.
