CBS lifted its blackout of House Speaker John Boehner's planned lawsuit against the Obama White House with a 15-second news brief on the 26 June 2014 edition of CBS This Morning. The network follows in the footsteps of NBC, which first mentioned the story a day earlier on Wednesday's Today, and ABC on Wednesday's World News.
Altogether, the Big Three networks have devoted just one minute and 18 seconds to the legal development. Anchor Norah O'Donnell cited the Washington Post's coverage of the lawsuit during the brief:
NORAH O'DONNELL: The Washington Post says House Speaker John Boehner is pursuing a federal lawsuit against President Obama. Boehner accuses the President of abusing his authority by using executive orders Congress doesn't support. But Boehner isn't saying which actions would be named in the suit.
