The 20 October 2016 edition of CBS This Morning was the first Big Three newscast to notice the latest Project Veritas undercover videos that exposed how Democratic Party operatives worked to disrupt Donald Trump rallies. During a fact check of Wednesday's presidential debate, Nancy Cordes spotlighted how "Democratic contractors were caught on video appearing to plan to provoke Trump supporters." ABC and NBC's morning and evening newscasts have yet to cover the controversy. Instead, NBC's Today on 20 October 2016 devoted 33 seconds to a North Korean smoking chimpanzee. The same morning, ABC's GMA set aside over a minute to possible new music from John Mayer.
