After a network blackout on Monday night of news that the FBI has been investigating Democratic Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (Va.) for possible illegal campaign donations, ABC and CBS kept the streak alive on Tuesday morning as Good Morning America and CBS This Morning made no mention of the government probe.

In contrast, NBC’s Today came forward and provided a full report from Justice correspondent Pete Williams that, unlike CNBC’s John Harwood on Monday, correctly labeled Clinton friend McAuliffe as not only a Democrat but “former chairman of the Democratic Party and co-chair of Hillary's 2008 campaign” for president.
