[See NewsBusters for more.] In what sounds like a story from the satirical Onion, it turns out that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton requested a book on how to delete your e-mails. However, ABC relegated this news to its website. CBS and NBC also avoided discussing the book, entitled, Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better.  The ABCNews.com story was co-written by Jon Karl, the same reporter who appeared on Thursday's Good Morning America. Yet, Karl spent most of his on-air time discussing Donald Trump. He only allowed 31 seconds on Clinton's e-mail scandal and never mentioned the Democrat's curious interest in this book.  GMA's hosts followed-up with a meager seven second story on Clinton's growing scandal. David Muir rapidly noted, "Hillary Clinton has turned over the e-mail server she used as Secretary of State to the FBI. The investigation into those top secret e-mails ramping up."
