Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the round Tuesday on the flagship morning news shows of ABC, CBS, and NBC and, as we saw in May with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and in 2022 with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Vice President Kamala Harris, NBC’s Today co-host Savannah Guthrie stood apart in repeatedly holding Blinken’s feet to the fire on President Biden’s support for Ukraine against Russia.

In contrast, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings not only had more abbreviated taped interviews, but the questions from ABC co-host (and former Clinton official) George Stephanopoulos and CBS co-host (and Democratic donor) Gayle King were pedestrian.
