On Monday, while ABC’s Good Morning America aired a softball interview with President Obama from Cuba, NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning both celebrated the First Family “acting like tourists” during their “historic” trip to the Communist dictatorship.
At the top of Today, co-host Matt Lauer acknowledged that the presidential visit was a “controversial,” but only minutes later touted it as “historic” as he turned to NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt. Reporting live from Havana, Holt proclaimed: “History being made, the President waking up here on Cuban soil....The entire First Family along for the trip, acting like tourists. Doing what most tourists do here, taking a walk through old Havana.”
