The major broadcast networks offered on Thursday night five minutes and 15 seconds on the Democratic presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, but made no effort to mention the new details that broke this week pertaining to the highly classified nature of some e-mails found on her private server and instead trumpeted her “on attack” and “unloading” on Sanders.

On NBC Nightly News, anchor Lester Holt proclaimed in one of the opening teases that Clinton was “on the attack” with “11 days to Iowa” as “Hillary Clinton unloads on Bernie Sanders.”
