While all three network morning shows conducted live interviews with Hillary Clinton on Monday ahead of the Iowa caucus, only CBS This Morning actually brought up her ongoing e-mail scandal. NBC’s Today and ABC’s Good Morning America both ignored the issue and lobbed softballs to the Democratic frontrunner instead.
Just comparing the first questions to Clinton in the three broadcast interviews showed the contrast. On GMA, co-host Robin Roberts gushed: “What do say we talk to Hillary Clinton, who’s good enough to join us this morning on a very important and busy day. Thank you so much for doing that. So, do you have the victory party all set for tonight?”
