Networks That Touted Tom DeLay’s 2010 Conviction Now Silent About His Acquittal | Media Research Center

Networks That Touted Tom DeLay’s 2010 Conviction Now Silent About His Acquittal | Media Research Center: "Back in 2010, when ex-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was convicted on money laundering charges related to campaign fundraising, all three network morning and evening news shows made sure to tell their viewers. But Thursday night and Friday morning, after an appeals court overturned that verdict and completely acquitted DeLay of those charges, none of the broadcast networks bothered to even mentioned the former Republican leader’s exoneration."

I wouldn't call having a conviction overturned on appeal an "acquittal," though.
