ABC Avoids News of U.S.-Greenland Military Deal, Bashes Clancy Holdout Juror Instead
19th September 2026
On Friday, ABC’s World News Tonight was the only network evening newscast to avoid the news of a U.S. deal with Denmark that would give the U.S. military rights to Greenland and bar adversaries like China and Russia from building bases on the island.
After all networks led with news of Trump banning reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, ABC was the only network not to shift to news of the Greenland deal. Instead, it decided to go back to bashing the lone holdout juror in the Linday Clancy murder mistrial.
