[See NewsBusters for more.] Despite teasing a new poll showing a “stunning” fall for Hillary Clinton, ABC’s Good Morning America on Friday only allowed seconds to the subject. According to a WMUR survey, Clinton trails Bernie Sanders by 16 points in New Hampshire. Robin Roberts opened the show by trumpeting, “And the stunning new poll showing Hillary Clinton falling further behind in a make-or-break state.”  Yet, the actual segment only totaled 19 seconds on the news. (The total report was a minute and 40 seconds.) Instead, reporter Tom Llamas unsurprisingly focused on Donald Trump: “Trump still on top but the latest polls are showing him no longer growing.” Playing up the fighting on the GOP side, he continued, “Trump calling Senator Rubio a kid who repeats what he hears in Congress.”
