[See NewsBusters for more.] Democratic presidential contenders lashed out at front-runner Joe Biden on Wednesday after he bragged about the ability to work with segregationists in the Senate, saying he could get things done with anyone. While all three networks covered this Democrat-on-Democrat fight Wednesday night and Thursday morning, CBS allowed the least amount of coverage: A scant 2 minutes and 34 seconds out of a total two and half hours of available air time. ABC did slightly better, managing 4 minutes and 9 seconds over the same time period. NBC had the most coverage: 5 minutes and 41 seconds. The three network total amounted to 12 minutes ans 24 seconds out of a possible 7 hours and 30 minutes.
