On Thursday afternoon, Media Research Center Research Director Rich Noyes appeared on the Fox Business Network (FBN) and exposed the latest double standard by the liberal media harping on various controversies befalling Donald Trump while giving minimal time to the disturbing story about the U.S. giving Iran $400 million when the Islamic country released four captured Americans.

As Noyes revealed in the interview, the network disparity between the two stories has only continued to grow wider since The Wall Street Journal first broke the Iran story late Tuesday night.

As MRC news analyst Nick Fondacaro calculated, the Wednesday evening newscasts last night devoted just 5 minutes, 12 seconds to the Obama administration sending a plane full of cash to Iran, compared with 13 minutes, 46 seconds spent on various Trump controversies.

This morning's network newscasts were even more lopsided, dismissing the Iran story with just 2 minutes, 46 seconds of additional coverage, compared with 32 minutes, 13 seconds of additional Trump news. Add it all up, and that's nearly 46 minutes spent on Trump, vs. 8 minutes for the Obama-Iran story, a nearly six-to-one disparity.

Giving his prediction for the next 100 days to Cavuto: Coast to Coast fill-in host Charles Payne, Noyes explained that “we’re going to be hearing off a lot of the controversies involving Donald Trump and not very much at all about the different scandals involving Hillary Clinton” and including her lies on Fox News Sunday “that Director Comey never said she lied.”

As the one network admitted, Trump’s problems have given them cover to ignore Clinton’s trouble with the truth even though she has significant leads over Trump in most polls of the presidential campaign.

Payne brought up an intriguing point later on when he wondered if Trump should do more to prepare himself for gotcha interviews with liberal journalists who have been able to trap Trump on near countless occasion. In response, Noyes agreed and invoked former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos at ABC as an example:

I mean, he needs to, you know, or his advisers have to coach them. When he does an interview with George Stephanopoulos, former Clinton campaign official, former Clinton White House aide and George Stephanopoulos asked his reaction to the Khan family. He’s got to think, why would he be asking this question? What does he want to say and then say, you know, what keeps his campaign on message instead of getting off message.

Commenting finally on the latest MRC numbers that are referenced above, Noyes hammered home the necessity for the media to do their jobs in covering not just one presidential candidate but all of them while still holding the current President in check as well:

[L]ast night and this morning, it’s gotten a total of eight minutes of coverage. The Trump controversy has gotten 46 minutes of coverage. You know, President Obama speaking about it will keep it in the news for one more cycle, but I think the media has to do their job to provide oversight of the President and then Trump has to sort of organize his campaign to take advantage of these Democratic scandals and Democratic mistakes to amplify his message and put them on the defensive for once. Has Hillary Clinton, for example, been asked about this Iran deal. Does she agree with it? Does she disagree with it? You know, journalists have to ask her the question because, you know, she's got to be brought out of this, too.
