Network Evening Newscasts Dodge Latest in Clinton E-Mail Scandal
The “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC combined to ignore the latest in the Hillary Clinton e-mail on Tuesday night after news broke that the State Department had no record of the former Secretary of State having signed a separation agreement to turn over all documents related to her work. While the networks neglected to cover this development, the Fox News Channel’s Special Report devoted a full…
Bozell & Graham Column: Are Networks Going to Bury E-Mailgate?
On March 10, eight days after The New York Times began the scandal over her private e-mail server, Hillary Clinton assembled the press at the United Nations in New York to offer a typically legalistic and crabby press conference lasting only 21 minutes. The first-blush reaction from the pundits? That wasn’t good enough. She can’t expect the story to go away just from that mess.
But within 48…
MSNBC's Kornacki Quite Critical of Hillary's E-Mail Handling
"[T]he thing that drives me nuts" about Hillary Clinton's response to the e-mail controversy, MSNBC's Steve Kornacki noted on Tuesday's Hardball, is that she won't admit that the public would be better off had she used a State Department e-mail account from day one of her tenure at Foggy Bottom. Instead, the Hardball guest host lamented, Clinton's out there insisting it was simply a "matter of…

Scarborough: 'More and More' Insiders Say Hillary Might Not Run
Imagine you're David Brock, James Carville or Lanny Davis. Stop: no! Can't do that to our Newsbusters readers. Let's just picture someone in the Hillary camp—even Herself. He/she's settled in front of the tube this morning, Grande, two-pump Vanilla, Non-Fat, Extra Hot Latte in hand, and tuned to fave show: Morning Joe.
Suddenly, from an array of people, you hear these phrases: "in jail for…

Letterman Whines About Clinton E-Mail Scandal; Fallon Mocks Presser
In a contrast of how two network late night comedy hosts addressed the Hillary Clinton email scandal on Monday, CBS’s David Letterman whined about the attention and effort being devoted and given to the scandal while NBC’s Jimmy Fallon took to mocking Clinton’s long-winded, confusing responses during her press conference as to why she used just one account and one phone.

Nets Skip Clinton E-Mail Scandal; ABC, NBC Omit Foundation Controversy
On Monday night, ABC, CBS, and NBC combined to ignore the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal with zero coverage of it in their evening newscasts. ABC and NBC also failied to mention the growing controversy surrounding the millions of dollars in donations to the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments and individuals. The CBS Evening News, however, stood out with a report that scrutinized the…
Vox’s Ezra Klein: ‘Al Gore Should Run For President’
Klein thinks pushing the climate-change issue might cost Gore votes, but it’s a risk that could pay off big if Gore’s elected, since “climate change is an issue where the president has real unilateral authority.” In any event, funding the campaign wouldn’t seem problematic. Klein noted that Gore himself now is “fabulously wealthy — richer, even, than Mitt Romney” and added, given super-rich…

ABC & CBS Cover Clinton Controversies, NBC Reports on Bieber Roast
While both ABC's Good Morning America and CBS This Morning on Monday covered the latest developments in the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal and the Clinton Foundation accepting money from foreign governments, NBC's Today didn't bother to update viewers on either of the controversies continuing to swirl around the likely 2016 contender.
Susan Estrich: Hillary Should Turn Over Her E-Mail Server
Susan Estrich is a bigtime Hillary Clinton supporter. Therefore it was no surprise that in her March 6 column she wrote off the Hillary e-mail scandal as mere silliness. However, following reader input and Hillary's disastrous press conference at the United Nations, Estrich had a bit of a change of heart. Not exactly a 180. More like a 90 chock full of extreme naivete.

Carville 'Suspects' Hillary's Private Server Set Up to Dodge Oversight
After his appearance yesterday on ABC's "This Week," Hillary Clinton may be wondering whose side James Carville is on.
Never mind Carville's frequent and rude interruptions of other guests, his seemingly calculated incoherence, and his false claims about the Clintons' past record of corruption. Even though that behavior doesn't represent the Clintons well, they have to know that's part of the…
USA Today Columnist Defends Hillary's Server As 'Responsibly Paranoid'
In Friday’s USA Today, media columnist Michael Wolff came out defending Hillary Clinton’s shifty e-mail tactics as ... “responsibly paranoid.”
Wolff barely nods to the argument of "do-gooders" and “schadenfreudeists” that perhaps when four Americans die in a terrorist attack at a badly secured consulate in Benghazi, e-mail might help figure out the mess. That’s “vastly disingenuous,” because e-…

Chuck Todd: Will GOP Cause Public to ‘Sympathize' With Hillary?
On Sunday’s Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd took time out of the ongoing controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton’s e-mails to bring up the usual mock media concern, whether or not the GOP will overreact in their handling of the situation: “Do you fear, as somebody who would like to see the Republicans win the White House, do you fear that congressional Republicans could get in the way and…
