After conducting live softball interviews with Hillary Clinton on Monday, NBC’s Today and ABC’s Good Morning America both devoted admiring full reports to the Bernie Sanders campaign as well, both touting his “political revolution.”

On Today, co-host Matt Lauer “caught up with Senator Bernie Sanders, as he fought for every last vote.” In a taped interview with Sanders at a campaign rally, Lauer observed: “You are asking the people of Iowa here to start you off on nothing short of a political revolution.” Sanders turned to the crowd and asked, “Is that right?,” prompting loud cheers and applause.
