After all three network morning shows promoted the Clinton campaign’s attempt to discredit criticism of the Clinton Foundation on Wednesday, on Thursday, both NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning kept providing the Democratic nominee with a megaphone to defend the family charity and dismiss accusations of corruption.

At the top of Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie touted how Clinton “dismisses claims that Clinton Foundation donors were given special access to her when she was Secretary of State.” A soundbite ran of presidential candidate proclaiming: “What Trump has said is ridiculous. My work as Secretary of State was not influenced by any outside forces.”
