While both ABC's Good Morning America and CBS This Morning on Monday discussed the ongoing scandal of the Clinton Foundation accepting millions of dollars in foreign donations, NBC's Today not only ignored the story but actually portrayed Hillary Clinton as a victim of Republican attacks.

Co-host Savannah Guthrie warned: "The 2016 presidential race is already intensifying. Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton takes her campaign to New Hampshire today, where Republican rivals are already on the attack against her record." In the report that followed, correspondent Andrea Mitchell lamented: "Republicans got here first and they gave her a very unpleasant welcome."
