The controversy over Abdul al-Sayed's family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood was ignored and downplayed by the liberal media.

The growing controversy surrounding Abd al-Sayed's denial of Muslim Brotherhood family ties has received zero coverage from some prominent media outlets.

Several longtime news organizations have not covered the allegations involving the family of Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abd al-Said.

Al-Sayed's denial of having any family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood has raised questions after several social media posts by his half-sister indicated that members of their family, including their mother, were active in the Islamist group.

After denying any ties during an interview with NBC, Abdul al-Sayed's family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood have apparently come to light.

The allegations were finally brought up on the CBS Morning Show on Friday, but it should only be noted that Alcide denied the claims made by his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers.

CNN and MS NOW similarly did not air dedicated news reports on the allegations until Thursday, despite several hours of daily programming per text. A conservative panelist made a brief reference to the controversy on Monday's "CNN This Morning," without the confirmation of host Audie Cornish. On Thursday night, CNN's Abby Phillips dismissed concerns raised by another conservative guest, arguing that the allegations did not establish a connection between Al-Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood.

"Abd was not raised by his biological mother," Philip said. "His parents divorced when he was three years old. He doesn't have that relationship with him. So the idea that he's being tarred and stuffed for being associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which, frankly, is A. unapproved and B. doesn't really say anything about how he was raised here in Michigan."

"He said as far as he knew, he was not aware of any connection with the Muslim Brotherhood. And you know what? You can discuss this issue with him, but the insinuation is that he is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood."

On Friday morning, conservative guest Jesse Arm told CNN viewers that the al-Sayed family had "deep ties" to the Muslim Brotherhood, a comment that drew backlash.

"We really have to point out that there are real CNN reviews, and specifically about the mother and the brother, what she responded to," said host Erica Hill. "For all candidates, there's a lot in their past that needs a reality check."

MS NOW's most direct reference to the allegations came Monday night, when guest host Jacob Soboroff slammed Republican opponent Al-Sayed for focusing on "smear" against the Muslim Democrat, including linking Al-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The New York Times, widely billed as the "paper of record," has not published a single report on the issue this week, according to a search of its website.

NBC was the only broadcast network found in the investigation to have covered the allegations and questioned Al-Sayed directly in two interviews.

During an interview that aired on Sunday's "Meet the Press," NBC's Kristen Welker asked Al-Sayed if he could "set the record straight. He and his family are affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood."

However, their family members, including their mother, were affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, according to social media posts published by his half-sister, Aman Abdulhadi.

In an X post in 2012, as first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, Abdul Hadi wrote: “I talked to my mother about her activity in the Muslim Brotherhood in the early 70s when she was at #Tehkam University.

Their mother, Faten Elkoumi, studied at Alexandria University in Egypt, which had strong Muslim Brotherhood activity in the 1970s, according to a report by the Brookings Institution.

In another 2012 post, University of Chicago professor Abdul Hadi wrote, "My family has been MB for a long time, but I always felt it was weak/destructive in the political sphere."

In a third post from 2013, he wrote: "Praying for all my family supporting #MB in #Egypt. "Lie down, stay safe."

On "NBC's Nightly News" Wednesday, Al-Sayed confronted NBC's Tom Lamas about how Abdul Hadi's posts appeared to contradict his denials to Welker.

Al-Sayed replied: It's funny to me. "I was born on Rochester Hills Avenue in 1984. I grew up here in Michigan, went to the University of Michigan, rebuilt the health department in this city, led the health department in this county - and you want to ask me what was going on in Egypt in 1970? Are you serious?"

"I understand, but you were asked a question and you answered," Lamas replied.

"I don't have any ties, we don't have any ties," Al-Sayed said, repeating his denial.

The Democratic candidate told Lamas that he had not discussed the alleged Muslim Brotherhood activity with his mother and accused the host of using "hearsay evidence from a tweet."

"It's just not serious," Al-Sayed said.

But you have followed the president to tell the truth, and when people ask you a question, do you expect the truth? Lamas then asked.

"Are you implying that I'm somehow lying?" Al-Sayed replied.

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking," Lamas replied.

"And I tell you it wasn't me," Al-Said told him.
