Shock: ABC, CBS Taken Aback By ‘Petty,’ ‘Personal’ Comey’s ‘Score Settling’

[See NewsBusters for more.] In a surprising twist, ABC and CBS journalists on Friday were taken aback by the “petty” and “personal” way in which James Comey goes about “settling some scores,” even comparing him to J. Edgar Hoover. On CBS This Morning, Jeff Pegues highlighted Comey “taking shots at the President... talking about  his height and some of his physical characteristics. This is James Comey definitely settling some scores here.” Co-host John Dickerson pointed out the hypocrisy: “Comey is trying to say there are standards and a certain ethical bar that the President is beneath. But, you know,  he makes little digs about the size of the President's hands, talks about the color of his skin.”
