Ann Curry trumpeted how Hillary Clinton supposedly gave an "uncharacteristically revealing interview" to People magazine on the 4 June 2014 edition of NBC Nightly News. Kelly O'Donnell filed a gushing report about how Mrs. Clinton apparently "has plenty to say," and hyped the former secretary of state's new book.
O'Donnell later zeroed-in on the upcoming arrival of Clinton's grandchild and asserted that this would give a "new dimension to her already well-known, often-scrutinized political identity." She also turned to a Washington Post editor, who played up that the former Democratic senator might gain a political advantage from the baby:
KELLY O'DONNELL: From admitting to totally binge-viewing the political drama 'House of Cards,' Clinton's free time is about to change – a first grandchild expected this fall.
ANNE KORNBLUT, WASHINGTON POST DEPUTY NATIONAL EDITOR: Look, babies are special political creatures. So, I think it will certainly provide a whole new set of images we've never seen of her before.
