Bozell & Graham Column: Comey's Pocket-Stuffers in the Press
The definition of “news” is very elastic these days. Another word we could use is “publicity.” When James Comey’s publisher MacMillan boasts that they will kill enough trees to print 850,000 copies – when a decent fraction of sales is in E-books and audiobooks – publicity is clearly booming.

Former Comey Aide Claims He's ‘Not a Partisan' in Debate on Book Tour
Tuesday’s New Day featured a respectful but vigorous debate between two CNN law enforcement analysts at the opposite ends of the spectrum on the James Comey book tour extravaganza.
