[See NewsBusters for more.] All three networks on Friday slammed Donald Trump for not denouncing a campaign supporter's “hateful rhetoric.” ABC, NBC and CBS also promoted Hillary Clinton “pouncing” and “hammering” Trump. Yet, on August 28, when Clinton blasted GOP candidates for wanting to put illegal immigrants in “boxcars,” a reference many thought to the Holocaust, the same networks did not attack the Democrat as hateful or call for condemnation. On Thursday, a Trump supporter accused Obama of being a Muslim and incorrectly stated that he wasn’t an American citizen. This individual complained, “We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims.” Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos opened the show by trumpeting, “Hillary Clinton pounces on what she is calling hateful rhetoric.”
