\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson<\/a><\/strong> has complained in recent days that he gets very limited coverage in the mainstream media compared to the big names in the 2016 race. Mr. Johnson<\/a> appears to be 100 percent right. There is a virtual broadcast black-out on the candidate.<\/p>\n

A startling new analysis<\/a> of major network news coverage conducted by the Media Research Center reveals all. Rich Noyes<\/strong>, research director for the conservative press watchdog, examined 1,713 campaign stories that appeared on ABC, CBS and NBC from Jan. 1 all the way through the end of August. Here\u2019s what Mr. Noyes and his team of researchers found.<\/p>\n

GOP nominee Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong> got 1,773 minutes of coverage, Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton<\/a><\/strong> got 1,020 minutes. And Mr. Johnson<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThus far in 2016, Johnson<\/a> has received a mere 11 seconds of evening news coverage \u2014 just a single sentence on the NBC Nightly News as he was formally nominated back in May,\u201d says Mr. Noyes. \u201cThat means Clinton<\/a> has received more than 5,000 times more coverage than Johnson<\/a>, while Donald Trump<\/a> garnered nearly 10,000 times more evening news airtime than his Libertarian challenger.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The broadcast status of other third party hopefuls were also examined by the researchers. They found that conservative independent candidate Evan McMullin<\/strong> got 33 seconds, Green Party<\/a> nominee Jill Stein<\/a><\/strong> three seconds. Yes, three seconds. Constitution Party candidate Darrell Castle<\/strong> got no seconds \u2014 as in zero coverage on the networks.<\/p>\n
