AP's Lee Fails to Cite Kerry's Plea For Less Media Terrorism Coverage
August 31st, 2016 2:06 PM
In Bangladesh on Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry had a concern about media coverage of terrorism he felt he needed to communicate, namely that "the media would do us all a service if they didn’t cover it quite as much."

CBS This Morning set aside 43 seconds of air time to a race…
