Why? Because their corporate bosses made a decision to only show one half of the hearing. They wanted the House Counsel to question first. Why did they not show the ENTIRE hearing?
They had to spend the evening retracting the half baked reporting the mouths spewed in the afternoon. Half baked, incomplete reporting.
Im disgusted with corporate media. Cable cut away from the hearing to unleash the talking heads long before the hearing ended. This is akin of taking the cookies out of the oven at 5 minutes instead of 14.
