Nets Hype ‘Bombshell,’ ‘Infamous’ Comey Memos, but Skimped on McCabe

[See NewsBusters for more.] All three networks on Friday hyped the “bombshell,” “infamous” James Comey memos released overnight. ABC, CBS and NBC devoted 12 minutes and 12 seconds to the documents with each network claiming they “obtained” them (rather than the documents simply being given to them). In contrast, the same outlets skimped on coverage of the Justice Department recommending charges against the fired-deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.
