My MRC colleague Scott Whitlock wrote about it earlier today:

<<< Who says the long sound bite is dead? According to an MRC analysis, "Good Morning America" devoted over 26 minutes of its two hour time slot on Monday to a fawning town hall meeting with Senator Hillary Clinton.

Even more incredible is the fact that GMA host and event moderator Robin Roberts allowed Clinton to talk uninterrupted or unchallenged for almost 18 of those 26 minutes.
During some of these long soliquies, the former First Lady repeatedly plugged her campaign website. ABC promises that future town hall meetings will include other presidential candidates, including, one assumes, Republicans. Will Mitt Romney or Sam Brownback be allowed to give what amounts to a campaign speech?

During the two hour show, "Good Morning America" devoted 26 minutes and 54 seconds to the Hillary Clinton event. Of that time, the New York Senator spoke for 17 minutes and 38 seconds.
