Touting Hillary Clinton’s first national television interview since launching her presidential campaign, Matt Lauer began Wednesday’s NBC Today by proclaiming: “Clinton gets candid. Hillary Clinton opens up in her first national interview of the presidential race. On the e-mail scandal...Suggestions that she's not trustworthy...And what she thinks of Donald Trump.”

Introducing a report on the topic minutes later, Lauer again declared: “Hillary Clinton taking on critics and lashing out at Republican rivals in a candid new interview.” White House correspondent Kristen Welker followed: “Clinton touched on a range of topics, from her e-mails to questions about her trustworthiness. And she made a play for those all-important Hispanic voters by trying to link all Republicans to Donald Trump.”
