NBC & PBS reported Comey's letter & criticism but they didn't mention bipartisan letter with ~100

signatories. I'll bet ABC and CBS didn't mention Republicans criticising him either. After tonight they won't report on it, as it is no longer "news".

Both PBS and NBC mentioned criticism by Eric Holder -- this is alright with GOP because it will be tossed off as partisan criticism. No mention of Richard Painter's (attorney, Bush admin) criticism in NYT.

on PBS they worded it: "Clinton supporters criticized Comey" ... this is pure disinformation as it implies ONLY Democrats criticized his letter. This is acceptable to the GOP so PBS could go with that (probably had it approved first though: "Is that okay Mitch, can we report that?&quot .

M$M (television especially) is just GOP-TV. FAKE news coverage.

Comey’s handling of the situation has generated fierce criticism from both Democrats and Republicans and a growing list of former Attorneys General from both sides of the aisle who are coming out against him.


They also had a short statement by Alberto Gonzalez which was critical of Comey's letter to Congress.

In this case, ABC beat the crap out of NBC and (of course) PBS, by actually reporting the news rather than distorting the news. Alright ABC!
