Does anyone in the Liberal Media ever tire from the constant water-carrying?
Via NewsBusters:
After fretting on Sunday’s Meet the Press that Hillary Clinton may not be liberal enough for 2016 Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa, on Monday’s NBC Today, correspondent Andrea Mitchell eagerly touted the Clinton campaign machine: “This time, Clinton organizers say they’ve learned their lesson, busing in volunteers from all over the country.”
A clip played of Mitchell shouting a question to the former secretary of state: “Does it feel great to be back out here?” Clinton replied: “It’s great. It was a great day. Couldn’t have been better.” To former President Bill Clinton, Mitchell enthused: “If she wants to, can she do it this time?” He dodged the question, remarking: “I have nothing to say. It’s not my decision.” Mitchell concluded: “I think I know which way you would vote.”
Monday’s CBS This Morning treated the Clintons in a similar fawning manner. Like Mitchell, correspondent Nancy Cordes gushed over the unofficial campaign stop: “At this year’s event everyone treated her like a candidate from the supporters on the rope line to the dozens of volunteers who flew in to hand out buttons and signs in this key caucus state.”
Cordes lobbed this softball to Hillary Clinton: “Does this wet your appetite for another campaign?”
After the report, co-host Norah O’Donnell acknowledged that the former first couple “didn’t talk to the press” but was thrilled by their barbeque skills: “The Clintons were both there but they were flipping steak, it was a steak fry. But Bill Clinton, true to himself, was flipping a veggie burger as he remains a vegan, or partial vegan.”
