[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC and NBC on Wednesday and Thursday ignored the highly suspicious news that Bill Clinton had a secret meeting earlier in the week with Attorney General Loretta Lynch. This as the Justice Department and the FBI are investigating Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server. Only CBS bothered to cover the story. To the credit of the journalists at CBS This Morning, they led the show with what would seem to be big news. At times, however, there was a credulous tone to the reporting. Co-host Charlie Rose assured, “Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately this week with former President Bill Clinton at a Phoenix airport. Lynch says there was no discussion about the FBI probe.”
