For the third day in a row, one of the three networks fawned over Vice, the far-left hit job about the life of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Good Morning America co-host Lara Spencer on Thursday touted “so much buzz” for the nasty, conspiracy-filled movie. This comes after GMA pushed the movie on Wednesday and CBS This Morning hosts interviewed the film’s director on Tuesday.
Talking to actor Steve Carell, who plays Donald Rumsfeld in the movie, Spencer gushed, “Congratulations on this film that’s getting so much buzz!” She then offered a question with a pretty obvious answer: “Did you have any input from Donald Rumsfeld?”
Given how liberal the movie is, obviously the answer to that query is no:
I did not speak to him. No. I don't expect to speak to him. [Crowd laughs.] It's an interesting character to play because so much of it is just left to your imagination as to what he was like behind the scenes. You can watch the videotape of what, you know, his public persona. But his private persona, I think, is something entirely.
On Tuesday, CBS This Morning co-host John Dickerson talked to the director as well as star Christian Bale (who plays Cheney). Dickerson praised, “Bale studied Cheney from the tiniest details to the big ones.” At no point did he mention aspects like the film hinting that Cheney’s father-in-law may have murdered his mother-in-law.
On Wednesday GMA co-host George Stephanopoulos gushed over the left-wing screed: “Congratulations. This movie is really incredible. I thought I knew this story, but you guys tell it in a brand-new way.”

8:35am ETLARA SPENCER: On the other hand, Vice, congratulations on this film that’s getting so much buzz. Did you have any input from Donald Rumsfeld?
STEVE CARELL: I did not speak to him. No. I don't expect to speak to him. [Crowd laughs.] It's an interesting character to play because so much of it is just left to your imagination as to what he was like behind the scenes.
