[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning co-host John Dickerson has been one of the few journalists calling for some calm in the hyping of James Comey and his new book. On Monday night, he seemed to shock Late Show host Stephen Colbert with tough skepticism. Colbert hailed the ex-FBI director as “setting up all this criteria for going after Donald Trump and talking about ethical leadership along the way.” Dickerson deflated this balloon by responding: “The problem is there are bars that he fell short of that people criticize him about.... Having the press conference when he announced the Hillary Clinton news and then ten days before the election talking about that and influencing, possibly influencing the election. So he's not totally clean.”
