[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC journalist Cecilia Vega has been designated the official Clinton correspondent for the 2016 campaign. On Tuesday, the senior national correspondent sounded very much like a stenographer, cheering Clinton's "stealthy," "mystery" road trip. A Good Morning America graphic offered this important information: "Hillary Clinton Hits the Road: Stops at Chipotle Along the Trail."  Vega enthused, "Stealth is the word we're hearing out here on the trail. Who knew Hillary Clinton likes herself a good road trip? We're told this whole thing was her idea." She added, "Overnight, a campaign aide revealing details to ABC News of Clinton's mystery trip through the heartland." Many of Vega's sentences started this way: "We're told..." "A campaign aide revealing..." "Her campaign says..." The story featured zero criticism and no mention of any of Clinton's scandals (such as deleting e-mails).
