For TV news, Robert Mueller's long-awaited report fueled a day full of speculation

The New York Times

TV news anchors and pundits spent much of Friday speculating on the Mueller report. "After all the buildup, the anchors had one new development to gnaw on: the fact that, according to a Justice Department official, the Mueller report recommended no new charges," says John Koblin, adding: "And before you knew it, television was populated, as it had been earlier in the day, with talking heads spinning out various possibilities that could fill the news maw in the days to come."
