CNN, MSNBC avoid McAuliffe's TV interview storm-off where he criticized reporter's questions
Fox News
CNN and MSNBC appeared to gloss over the rough 24 hours Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe had following an abrupt exit from a TV interview and a new poll showing Virginia's race for governor continues to narrow.
However, WJLA anchor Jonathan Elias offered a disclaimer to viewers who may have noticed Youngkin's interview was much longer than McAuliffe's.
"So if you watch those entire interviews on our website, we do want to point out that the Terry McAuliffe interview is shorter than our interview with Glenn Youngkin. That was not by our doing," Elias told viewers on Tuesday. "[WJLA reporter Nick Minock] offered both candidates 20 minutes exactly to be fair for the interviews. McAuliffe abruptly ended 7News' interview after just 10 minutes and told Nick that he should have asked better questions and that Nick should have asked questions 7News viewers care about. That's what he said."
