Acclaimed author E. Jean Carroll publicly alleged for the first time Friday that President Donald Trump raped her in a dressing room in the mid-1990s.

Two days later, the hosts of the most popular Sunday morning talk shows in the U.S. had the opportunity to ask their guests often a mix of high-profile Republicans and Democrats about Carrolls horrifying claim and whether to hold the president accountable.

But the allegation went largely undiscussed by major TV networks on Sunday morning, clearing the path for yet another sexual assault allegation against the president to slip into the void.

ABC, CBS, CNN , Fox and NBC the networks that make up the big five of Sunday morning talk shows boasted major political players in their lineups that included Vice President Mike Pence and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

And yet not a single one of them was asked about Carrolls allegation that, just days earlier, had prompted front-page stories and news alerts from almost all of the major media outlets.

Carroll, 75, on Friday became the latest of more than a dozen women to have publicly accused Trump of sexually assaulting, groping or forcibly kissing them since the early 1980s.

In an excerpt from her upcoming book, What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal, published in New York magazine on Friday, Carroll described Trump shoving her against the wall of a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and forcing his penis inside her.

She was a 52-year-old former Miss Cheerleader USA and a famous advice columnist by that time. He was a 50-something real estate mogul.

Trump has denied sexually assaulting anyone, including Carroll. And despite a photograph of Carroll with Trump embedded in the magazines story itself, Trump claimed Friday that he had never met her.

The inconsistencies in Trumps response, the sheer number of women accusing him of sexual misconduct, the hypocrisy of Republicans believing Juanita Broaddricks rape accusation against President Bill Clinton in 1999 while ignoring Carrolls now all were topics that would seem to warrant significant airtime on the Sunday morning talk shows but simply didnt receive it.

Both CNN and CBS hosted Pence. Several 2020 Democratic presidential contenders appeared on some of the shows, including Sanders, Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.), Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julin Castro. A few other congressional Republicans and Democrats were interviewed across the networks as well.

Several pressing topics were addressed, including escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, climate change and inhumane conditions at detention centers housing migrant children at the countrys southern border, but Carrolls allegation was noticeably absent from the conversations.

NBCs Meet the Press aired an interview with Trump that taped Friday. Given the timing, host Chuck Todd was likely unaware of Carrolls allegation before his interview with the president. Still, Todd seemingly did not reference the accusation during other portions of Sundays show.

Carroll appeared Sunday on NBC-owned network MSNBC during the 11 a.m. hour of AM Joy with Joy Reid, who lamented that the authors allegation had been relatively buried in this weeks news cycle.

In any other universe, in any other presidency, in any other news cycle, E. Jean Carrolls bombshell revelations against the sitting president of the United States would have been the lead story all week long, Reid said

CNNs Brian Stelter, during an episode of Reliable Sources that aired Sunday at 11 a.m., discussed the apparent media fatigue over sexual misconduct allegations against Trump with his panel.

The day that [Carrolls allegation] dropped it felt like it was very much a part of the conversation on Twitter, Shani Hilton, deputy managing editor for news at The Los Angeles Times, told Stelter. It was really blowing up I mean all day long.

She continued: Two days later, it kind of feels like its faded away. And I think by the end of the day Friday, it really felt like heres one more allegation in the long line.

ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC did not immediately respond to HuffPosts requests for comment.

This story has been updated to include Carrolls appearance on MSNBC and Stelters panel discussion on CNN.
