The mother of ISIS beheading victim James Foley told CNN’s Anderson Cooper, on September 11, that she was “embarrassed and appalled” by the White House’s handling of her son’s kidnapping. On September 8 a spokesman for the family of ISIS victim Steven Sotloff claimed that both families were “bullied and hectored” by the administration.

So how many Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) network stories have been devoted to helping these families tell their shocking stories of a White House that let them down and even intimidated them? Just three (CBS 2, ABC 1, NBC 0).

However, in the summer of 2005 when anti-Iraq war mom Cindy Sheehan camped out in front of George W. Bush’s Crawford, Texas ranch the networks flooded their evening and morning shows with 100 stories (ABC 37, NBC 33, CBS 30) in the first month (August 9 through September 9) of coverage alone.

The eagerness of the networks to cover Sheehan stands in stark contrast in how they have covered the Foley and Sotloff families and other parents who have blamed the Obama administration for the loss of their loved ones. The complaints by the parents of Benghazi attack victims Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods also got short shrift on the networks (3 stories). The mother and father of Fast and Furious victim border agent Brian Terry haven’t found much of an network outlet for their criticism of Obama and Eric Holder either. (1 story).
