ABC, CBS, and NBC's morning newscasts on 18 March 2016 all failed to cover the FBI's revelation on Thursday that Faisal Mohammad, a University of California, Merced student who went on a stabbing spree in November 2015, was inspired by ISIS. Instead of covering this development, ABC's Good Morning America devoted one minute and 25 minutes to a proposed regulation in San Francisco against "man-spreading." NBC's Today also spent 53 seconds of air time to Harry Potter actress Emma Watson beat-boxing for gender equality.
CNN's New Day on 18 March 2016 stood out for devoting a 20-second brief to Mohammad:
CHRIS CUOMO: A California student who went on a stabbing rampage on his college campus was inspired by ISIS. The FBI says Faisal Mohammad appeared to be self-radicalized — motivated from terrorist propaganda that he found — where else — online. They say he acted alone when he stabbed four people during the November attack. Mohammad was killed by campus police after the rampage.
