Following a Hillary Clinton campaign rally on Saturday that featured singer Katy Perry and former President Bill Clinton, NBC and ABC were beside themselves in gushing over the event. On Saturday’s NBC Nightly News, correspondent Kelly O’Donnell proclaimed: “Hillary Clinton's team is going all in on star power....husband Bill Clinton's first campaign stop here in Iowa....superstar hit maker [Katy Perry], whose song is Clinton’s campaign theme.... After a tough slide this summer, Clinton has hit a high note.”
At the top of Sunday’s NBC Today, co-host Jeff Rossen declared: “Hear them roar. Hillary Clinton rolls out some serious star power in Iowa, Katy Perry and her husband, the former president, hitting the campaign trail for the for the first time.” Minutes later, fellow co-host Erica Hill hailed: “Hillary Clinton bringing out her A-team Saturday in Iowa.”
