Good Morning America's Claire Shipman on Tuesday made no effort to hide her bias, mocking Republicans who object to planned Hillary Clinton movies as nothing more than "rabble." On CBS This Morning, Jan Crawford insisted that actress Diane Lane, who will be playing Clinton in a NBC miniseries, brings "the glitz and glamour of Hollywood" to the portrayal of the former Secretary of State. NBC's Today described the projects as a "boost."
But it was ABC's Shipman who skewed coverage the most. The ABC reporter thrilled that "even as the uncandidate, Hillary Clinton dominates the air waves with her every move." Describing the GOP response, Shipman derided, "Enough, say rabble Republicans, who call the projects political ads." The rabble? The dictionary defines rabble as a "disorderly crowd" or "the lower classes, the common people." Which one does Ms. Shipman think fits the Republican Party?
