As news broke Tuesday that the State Department would not release Hillary Clinton's e-mails as secretary of state until January of 2016, all three network morning shows finally noticed the Democratic presidential candidate has refused to take questions from the press.

NBC's Today briefly raised the issue on Monday, with fill-in news anchor Tamron Hall noting "growing pressure" on Clinton to answer "tough questions." On Tuesday, during a full report on the latest details in the e-mail scandal and the Clintons' recent financial disclosures, White House correspondent Kristen Welker observed: "Clinton is keeping her distance from the press, avoiding questions for the past three weeks."
