NBC, CBS Can’t Agree If Hillary’s on ‘Offense’ or ‘Defense’ on E-Mails

[See NewsBusters for more.] It didn’t take long for ABC to go back to ignoring Hillary Clinton’s growing e-mail scandal. A day after all three networks covered a “scathing” new report accusing the Democrat of violating federal rules, Good Morning America on Friday totally avoided the subject. In contrast, NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning both stayed on the story. But the two networks couldn’t agree whether Clinton was going on “offense” or staying on “defense.” On Today, a network graphic proclaimed, “Clinton Goes on the Offensive: Defends Private E-Mail Use Amid Report Fallout.” On CBS This Morning, reporter Julianna Goldman offered a different take: “Hillary Clinton played defense Thursday following the State Department inspector general's support which concluded diplomatic security officials did not and would not approve her exclusive reliance on a personal e-mail account.”
