CBS Notices D.C. Insurance Commissioner's Firing; ABC, NBC Punt

The 18 November 2013 edition of CBS This Morning is the sole Big Three newscast so far to cover the firing of William P. White, a day after the now former D.C. official criticized President Obama's plan to let insurers temporarily restore canceled health insurance policies for a year. Nancy Cordes revealed how "D.C.'s insurance commissioner was abruptly fired by the city's Democratic mayor...after he warned that reinstating canceled plans 'undercuts the purpose' of the new health care exchanges."

Cordes's mention of Mayor Vincent Gray sacking of the commissioner came a day after the Washington Post buried their story on the firing on page C7 of its Metro section on Sunday.
