As of September, 2015, as the videos were being widely circulated and analyzed, &#8220;ABC, NBC, and CBS ha[d]\u00a0aired <a href=\"\/news\/mainstream-media-gave-1-minute-13-seconds-reporting-planned-parenthood-baby-parts-videos\/\">only\u00a0one minute and 13 seconds<\/a> of these videos (with audio) during their news programs.
