watched CBS local affiliate and they opened with the story ... about 1 minute into the report the screen went black for about 45 secs, then came back with Dotard saying he felt good yadda... then went off again for a short 15 secs? and then went to next story... no other blackouts for the remaining news...

I can find it t online I'm sure...

than the first Barr summary, which Dems seemed caught off guard by.

In contrast this time Dems were all over this, and the media narratives reflected cynicism about Barr (viewing him as the stooge he is) and a sense that Mueller's report - though didn't charge Trump - painted a troubling picture of the Trump/family/associates.

I think the media knows it got played the first time and wasn't falling for Barr's antics again.

in addition of course to the cable news (CNN, MSNBC) coverage which was also fairly good.
