CBS This Morning was the sole Big Three morning newscast on 15 February 2016 to not cover the assault allegation against former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer that emerged over the weekend. By contrast, NBC's Today aired a full two-plus minute report on Spitzer "facing another potentially embarrassing scandal," as Kristen Dahlgren put it. The correspondent noted that "Spitzer attempted a career in television...before a failed return to politics — losing to his opponent in the Democratic primary for comptroller of New York City in 2013." ABC's Good Morning America gave a brief on the story, but didn't mention Spitzer's party ID.
