[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS and ABC noticed FBI Director James Comey’s dramatic testimony before Congress on Wednesday... just not the part that was about Hillary Clinton. Good Morning America and CBS This Morning focused on what Comey had to say about the threat from Russia hacking the upcoming election, but they excluded the director being grilled over not charging Clinton, as well as the decision to give immunity to certain aides. NBC’s Today show, a four hour-long program, totally ignored all of Comey’s testimony. Congressman Jason Chaffetz grilled Comey on Clinton’s tech aide Paul Combetta wondering how to use BleachBit to destroy records. Chaffetz demanded, “How is this not a conscious effort to alter federal records?... These federal records were under subpoena. They were under a preservation order. Did Mr. Combetta destroy documents?”
