From Scott Whitlock\’s blog at newsbusters.org:

Despite a four hour run time, NBC\’s Today on Wednesday skipped a dire new poll showing Bernie Slanders crushing Hillary Clinton by 27 points in New Hampshire. ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS This Morning, in contrast, both covered the surprising development. GMA co-host Amy Robach marveled at “the stunning new poll showing her free-falling in New Hampshire.” 

A few minutes later, Robach repeated herself, informing viewers of “that stunning new CNN poll showing Bernie Sanders with a nearly 30-point lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire.”

So in New Hampshire, where both Bill and Chelsea Clinton have recently campaigned on her behalf, Hillary the latest poll shows Hillary Clinton behind by a – Amy Robach was right on target – stunning 27% margin.  And while the CNN poll is an outlier, three other polls in the last few days also show Sanders well ahead – two by double digit margins…

…yet NBC\’s Today Show couldn\’t find room to so much as mention those polls, let alone talk about what they might mean.

Do you rely on NBC – especially the Today Show – for your news?  You might as well sleep late.  You\’ll feel better, and you\’ll be just as informed.
