On Friday, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC covered the new scandal brewing inside the Democratic presidential campaign with the data breach involving the Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton campaigns (plus the Sanders camp suing the Democratic National Committee), but it was the CBS Evening News that sought to downplay the story by not covering the “brewing” “family feud.”
Along with CBS’s polite choice of words, the newscast took roughly ten minutes to even cover the scandal while ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News led with the “breaking news” and dedicated at least three-minute segments to the matter (compared to the two minutes and 18 seconds on CBS).
