Reporting on the contentious exchange between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s campaign aides at a Harvard University forum, on Friday’s NBC Today, correspondent Andrea Mitchell touted the defeated Democratic nominee’s team whining about media coverage of the presidential race.

Mitchell proclaimed: “What the campaign’s did agree on, resentment of the media.” She briefly noted “Trump’s team arguing the media were pro-Clinton,” but spent more time on “The Clinton team complaining far more attention was paid to her e-mails than to Trump’s failings.” A soundbite followed of Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook complaining: “Why wasn't there the same attention to Donald Trump's decision-making about his business? Why didn’t we look into his bankruptcies?”
