On Monday, all three network morning shows surprisingly devoted full reports to President Obama being strongly criticized for not attending – or not at least sending a top official to attend – an anti-terror march in Paris on Sunday. At the top of NBC's Today, co-host Matt Lauer announced: "While world leaders join millions for a massive anti-terror rally in Paris, the President is under fire for not taking part."
Opening ABC's Good Morning America, co-host Robin Roberts declared: "As millions take to the streets, President Obama is taking heat for not taking part." On CBS This Morning, fill-in co-host Jeff Glor told viewers: "Secretary of State John Kerry said this morning he will go to France later this week. That announcement follows heavy criticism of President Obama for skipping Sunday's rally in Paris. No senior U.S. figures were there."
