Following Tuesday night’s Democratic debate, all three of Wednesday’s network morning shows seized on Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders demanding the media stop asking about Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal. During fawning coverage on NBC’s Today, correspondent Peter Alexander proclaimed: “When it came to Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal, it was her chief rival Bernie Sanders who sent a message loud and clear.”

A clip played of Sanders ranting: “The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails!” Alexander later added that Clinton received “a big gift” from her opponent.
