Here's How Much Time the Networks Have Spent on the Planned Parenthood Videos — Guess How It Stacks Up to Coverage of Mitt Romney’s '47 Percent\

A media watchdog broke down just how much time the three major networks – ABC, CBS and NBC – have devoted to the undercover Planned Parenthood videos in the past month – and its findings pale in comparison to the amount of coverage the "big three" gave Mitt Romney's infamous "47 percent" video.

The conservative media watchdog Newsbusters found that since the Center for Medical Progress released its first undercover Planned Parenthood video on July 14, the three networks together have played just one minute and 13 seconds of the actual footage in question.

That's out of the combined total of 243 hours and 30 minutes of morning and evening news programming since the same day, amounting to 6 percent of the networks' entire Planned Parenthood coverage, Newsbusters noted. And out of that one minute and 13 seconds spent airing the actual footage, none of the big three showed any of the parts that appear to show doctors picking apart fetal tissue.

Of course, the networks haven't shied away from airing undercover videos in the past. According to Newsbusters, they spent 88 minutes in three days in September 2012 airing Romney's "47 percent" — here's a breakdown of exactly how much time each network allotted to the story:

• ABC: 21 minutes, 19 seconds
• CBS: 31 minutes, 24 seconds
• NBC: 35 minutes, 40 seconds

Newsbusters further broke down how much time each of the networks devoted to covering the Planned Parenthood videos, including airing the actual footage:
