While both NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning devoted full reports to The Wall Street Journal exposing the Obama administration secretly paying a $400 million ransom in cash to Iran to secure the release of American hostages, ABC’s Good Morning America only managed two news briefs on the topic that amounted to less than a minute of air time.
GMA news anchor Amy Robach promoted the story as a “bombshell report...that claims the Obama administration secretly sent $400 million in cash to Iran just as the Iranians freed four American prisoners.” However, the 7:14 a.m. ET hour segment only lasted 33 seconds. At the top of the 8 a.m. ET hour, Robach repeated the same brief in just 23 seconds.
