CBS Allows Just 29 Seconds to Colin Powell Slamming Clinton Over E-Mails

[See NewsBusters for more.] Colin Powell, who the networks hyped when he endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, has now slammed Hillary Clinton for attempting to “pin” responsibility of using a private server on him. Yet, CBS and NBC on Monday minimized the story with CBS This Morning noting it for just a scant 29 seconds (out of a two hour program). After highlighting “new tensions” between Powell and Clinton, Nancy Cordes explained, “Clinton reportedly told the FBI it was Powell who advised her to use a private e-mail account as Secretary like he did.” Cordes quoted Powell: “Her people have been trying to pin it on me. The truth is she was using the private e-mail server for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did.”
