Liberal Cable Show Defends Comey, Blasts IG's 'Howl of Anger and Rage'
(CNSNews.com) - Liberal cable shows -- Rachel Maddow's on MSNBC and Chris Cuomo's on CNN among them -- completely ignored the critical report on former FBI Director James Comey released Thursday by the Justice Department inspector general. It was never mentioned Thursday night.
Friday morning cable shows downplayed the story, with MSNBC's "Morning Joe" putting more blame on the inspector general than on Comey.
"What a fascinating report, about 80-, 90-percent of it is 'Jack Webb, just-the-facts, ma'am,' and then the last 10 percent of the report reads like a talk radio script," "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough said on Friday.
"The two don't go together...But this report -- I mean, coming from an inspector general, I was fairly shocked at how undisciplined he was with what our law professors would call dicta."
