Appearing on Fox News’s The Kelly File Tuesday night, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie blasted the press over the stunning double standard of its obsession with Bridgegate versus its minimal coverage of a possible criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal: “I'm waiting for the nightly specials on other news networks. I'm waiting for the breathless front-page stories on The New York Times that they don't back off from every time Hillary Clinton yells at them....it's completely biased, unfair, disparate treatment.”

Host Megyn Kelly prompted the comment by wondering: “...a lot of attention on Hillary Clinton this week and on the referral of her e-mail scandal to the FBI to look into that. Did you see as much coverage of that as we did about a possible indictment of Chris Christie for the Bridgegate matter which did not come to fruition?”
