看不懂这句话的结构，一句话为什么有两个动词？

But alas the media’s leading lights were too busy implying Jeremy’s attempts at urging caution were evidence of some kind of fervent lack of patriotism. 看上去好像是前半句一直到caution为止是后半句的主语，但这句话我感觉有两个谓语动词了啊，前半句已经是个完整的句子了，这在句子中做什么成分呢？

were too busy implying (that) Jeremy’s attempts at urging caution were evidence of some kind of fervent lack of patriotism.

be busy doing sth. 忙于做某事。本句中implying后接省略了that的宾语从句，所以were evidence...为that从句的谓语。

But alas the media’s leading lights were too busy implying Jeremy’s attempts at urging caution were evidence of some kind of fervent lack of patriotism.

= But alas the media’s leading lights were too busy implying (that) Jeremy’s attempts at urging caution were evidence of some kind of fervent lack of patriotism.

划线部分是宾语从句，作 implying 的宾语。be busy doing sth. 忙于做某事

imply 后接宾语从句的例句：My father implied (that) our summer trip was arranged. 父亲暗示我们夏天的旅行已经安排好了。（摘自《英汉多功能词典》新编升级版p.843）
