As news broke Friday in The Wall Street Journal about Hillary Clinton’s private server containing e-mails discussing classified drone strikes, on NBC’s Today, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd assured viewers that he and his media colleagues would cover the scandal everyday if not for their obsession with Donald Trump’s controversies.

Co-host Savannah Guthrie lamented: “Clinton had a good day yesterday and then this morning she wakes up to another article about her e-mails.” Moments later, Todd proclaimed: “You know, 10 days ago is when the [State Department] IG report came out on e-mails. The last ten days could have been about nothing but e-mails, nothing but negatives about Hillary Clinton. We could be talking about Democratic hand-wringing, but there's Donald Trump. Enough said.”
