[See NewsBusters for morel.] The journalists at Good Morning America on Thursday were eager to help Hillary Clinton turn the page and move on from the damaging e-mail server scandal. In contrast to the reporters and CBS and NBC, ABC’s Cecilia Vega simply parroted Clinton talking points: “Clinton's campaign calling the grilling yet another taxpayer funded sham of an inquiry to try to hurt Hillary Clinton politically.” Rather than dig deeper into the fact that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee sent and received classified information, the journalist regurgitated, “A year-long investigation into those e-mails that threatened her bid for the White House is finally over, and now Hillary Clinton wants nothing more than to change the subject.” Vega then pivoted, “Clinton now trying to get back to business on the campaign trail, taunting Donald Trump on his own turf.”
