[See NewsBusters for more.] All three morning shows on Monday made sure to highlight Hillary Clinton’s latest attacks on Donald Trump, but only CBS This Morning bothered to note the Democrat’s falsehood about the FBI’s investigation into her e-mails. While talking to Fox’s Chris Wallace, Clinton rebutted assertions that the FBI called her dishonest: “That's not what I heard director Comey say. Director Comey said that my answers were truthful and what I said is consistent with what I have told the American people.” CBS reporter Nancy Cordes explained that the Washington Post’s fact checker gave her four Pinocchios for this statement. Cordes added, “The Post called that highly misleading because the FBI director only said that Clinton's comments to his investigations were truthful while he acknowledged some of her public assertions were not.”
