ABC’s Good Morning America, which first covered the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal by ignoring that the politician was a Democrat, did grow to embrace the tawdry aspects of the story. Yet, the morning show on Wednesday avoided the mayoral candidate’s latest gaffe: Calling his Republican opponent “grandpa” at an AARP candidate forum. NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning both managed to highlight the story. CBS guest anchor Anthony Mason recounted, “Weiner slammed his opponent over age and did so, of all places, at an event sponsored by the AARP.” A graphic mocked it as a “senior moment.” Mason dismissed Weiner’s campaign as a “circus.” In the video, Weiner can be seen heatedly talking to George McDonald.
