On Thursday, while covering the latest Democratic debate, NBC’s Today and ABC’s Good Morning America avoided any mention of Hillary Clinton being grilled by Univision anchor Jorge Ramos about accusations that she lied to the families of the Benghazi victims. Instead, both morning shows focused on the “biggest debate” of the night being over the color of Bernie Sanders’ suit.
Following coverage of the debate itself, Today co-host Savannah Guthrie declared: “But you know, there was another debate raging online, and it was important too. What color was Senator Sanders’ suit, you asked. Some said that is a brown suit, others see a black suit....it is the 2016 version of the dress controversy.”
