CBS CORRESPONDENT ADMITS ‘MAYBE WE WENT ABOUT COVERING’ MICHAEL AVENATTI ‘THE WRONG WAY’After avoiding the breaking news on Thursday, MSNBC dedicated less than two minutes of coverage to Avenatti's sentencing on Friday, according to Grabien transcripts. None of MSNBC's most-watched primetime hosts, Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell, mentioned Avenatti once in the combined six hours of coverage between Thursday and Friday. "I owe Michael Avenatti an apology," MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle said. "Deadline: White House" anchor Nicolle Wallace hyped Avenatti's potential presidential ambitions, telling a panel, "If [Democrats] decide that they value a fighter most, people would be foolish to underestimate Michael Avenatti."
