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.”

Moments later before a report from Clinton correspondent and MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell, Holt hyped that Clinton had

“fired off her most direct attacks yet at Bernie Sanders as their race grows increasingly tight.”

The ever reliable Clinton stenographer in Mitchell gushed that with the fight between the two candidates close, the former secretary of state “went after Bernie Sanders with her toughest attacks yet...hammer[ing] Bernie Sanders, claiming he can't deliver on his promises.” “Clinton delivering sharp jabs direct from a teleprompter, unusual for the informal setting, also portrayed Sanders as naive on foreign policy, especially Iran,” added Mitchell.

Overall, none of the evening newscasts have yet to utter word on news from Tuesday that some of Clinton’s e-mails contained some of the country’s most secretive and highly classified programs. On the morning show front, only ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS This Morning provided mere seconds to the bombshell.

With ABC, CBS, and NBC out to lunch, the Fox News Channel (FNC) evening newscast Special Report has offered extensive coverage with it serving as the lead story on Tuesday and Thursday.

Thursday’s segment started with host Bret Baier setting the scene by explaining that:

What was once referred to as a drip-drip of damaging information in the Hillary Clinton email scandal has now become a cascade. The biggest question now resides with the FBI and its expanding investigation, a decision about the next moves, that clearly threatens Clinton's presidential campaign. We are learning tonight just how far above top secret some of Clinton's unsecured emails were and White House aides are weighing in on Clinton's startling accusation against one of the President's appointees.

Citing two separate sources, Herridge revealed that “not even senior lawmakers with oversight of the State Department are permitted to read the emails from highly classified special access programs without additional permission from the intelligence agencies who ran them.” -
