[See NewsBusters for more.] Journalists on all three networks, Wednesday, covered Hillary Clinton talking to reporters for the first time in a month, offering a slightly annoyed tone. Yet, ABC's Good Morning America managed to do the story without any Republican critics and with George Stephanopoulos returning to anchor the segment. GMA correspondent Cecilia Vega underlined, "Twenty eight days. That's how long Hillary Clinton went without taking questions from reporters and believe me, we have been asking."  At the actual news conference, Vega pressed, "You're in the tip-top echelon of earners in this country. How do you expect everyday Americans to relate to you?" Stephanopoulos, who has been under a firestorm of criticism for secretly donating $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation, returned to introduce the story. On Tuesday, the co-host was noticeably absent from the Clinton segment and Robin Roberts substituted.
