ABC became the first Big Three network to cover the felony conviction of the Democrat attorney general of Pennsylvania, Kathleen Kane, on the early 17 August 2016 edition of Nightline. Byron Pitts spotlighted the downfall of the "rising star in Pennsylvania's Democrat Party," who went from being endorsed by Bill Clinton and being elected the first woman and Democrat attorney general in the commonwealth to being a "convicted criminal." ABC's morning and evening newscasts still haven't covered the Kane story, nor have their competitors at CBS and NBC.
