On Fox News, Obama Admits Clinton ‘Careless’ With E-Mails

[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC and CBS on Sunday night and Monday morning skipped the fact that Barack Obama chided Hillary Clinton as “careless” for the way she handled her private e-mail server. Only NBC reporters noticed the development and the network mentioned it only in passing. Appearing on Fox News Sunday, the President told Chris Wallace: “There’s a carelessness, in terms of managing e-mails, that she [Clinton] has owned, and she recognizes.” On NBC’s Today, reporter Kristen Welker briefly noted the remark, allowing, “Over the weekend, President Obama called the move careless, but also defended Clinton.” Then, instead of playing a clip of the “careless” quote, she showcased this more helpful moment from Obama: “I continue to believe that she has not jeopardized America's national security.”
