After all three broadcast networks spent Sunday blaming President Trump for the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend, in an exclusive interview with NBC News aired on Monday’s Today show, Vice President Mike Pence took the liberal media to task for its biased coverage.

Talking to correspondent Peter Alexander during a trip to Central America on Sunday, Pence scolded the press: “I will tell you that I take issue with the fact that many in the media are spending more time criticizing how the President addressed the issue yesterday....many in the media have spent an awful lot of time focusing on what the President said and criticisms of what the President said, instead of criticizing those who brought that hatred and violence to the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia.”

Rather than discuss the purpose of Pence’s overseas travel, Alexander spent the entire exchange discussing what was wrong with the President’s response to the violence on Saturday:

> I traveled down here to Colombia yesterday with the Vice President and during our exclusive interview he did what many critics say the President should have done, he condemned white nationalists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis. So I began by our conversation by asking him why the President hasn’t called out those evil groups by name. > You say that, why won’t the President use those same words? Why hasn’t he? > To be fair, some Americans heard that, others didn’t, including Orin Hatch, who wrote, “We should call evil by its name. My brother didn’t give his life fighting Hitler for Nazi ideas to go unchallenged here at home.” Was it a mistake for the President not to be more clear when he made those remarks? And if you were advising him now, would you suggest he do it differently? > He said on “many sides.” Name those sides. What are the sides?...Well that’s one side, what’s the other side? He says on many sides. > But only one group yesterday – with respect, only one group yesterday, Mr. Vice President, killed an American.

Proving Pence’s point on Sunday, all three networks focused on blasting Trump:
