[See NewsBusters for more.] Despite devoting three segments to Hillary Clinton's 2016 launch, the journalists of Good Morning America on Monday totally avoided any mention of the Democrat's scandal involving deleted e-mails. Also ignored was any description of the former senator and Secretary of State as a liberal. (The same thing happened on Sunday night.) Instead, ex-Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos enthused that the wife of his old boss "is in a commanding position."   Reporter Cecila Vega parroted the goals of the rollout, noting "...She wants to start this campaign off small." Vega added, "This morning, Hillary Clinton is already on the campaign trail. ABC News learning overnight the former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State hit the road right as she made her bid for the White House official."
