As many as a dozen protestors were on site at times today in front of the local offices for KTFT 38, the local NBC affiliate in Twin Falls. Those present carried signs protesting what they termed liberal coverage of events by TV networks NBC, ABC, and web based news source MSNBC.

Some signs also made reference to boycotting General Electric, which is the parent company of both NBC and MSNBC.

Local protestors didn't mention CBS, which has also been the target of criticism over allegedly biased news coverage in the past. One protestor today pointed to what they termed 'Liberal Coverage of President Obama' by network news sources as cause for part of their concern and actions.
