More in the cross-post on the MRC's NewsBusters blog.
In CBS's first report on a new book detailing the Clinton Foundation foreign donation scandal, on Tuesday's CBS This Morning, correspondent Nancy Cordes avoided the specific accusations of corruption and instead focused on the Clinton campaign dismissing the controversy as a "distraction." Cordes even touted a "potential upside" for Hillary Clinton: "...all these attacks from different directions could help unify Democrats around her."
While Monday's CBS This Morning briefly mentioned the foundation scandal, it skipped the new book about the controversy, Clinton Cash. That evening, CBS Evening News ignored the topic completely, even while NBC Nightly News and ABC's World News Tonight both offered full reports on the story.
