On the heels of media types like Chris Matthews assuring the American people that the Clinton Foundation is so “great” that his son used to work there, the Wednesday edition of CNN’s Legal View went even further in providing pro-Clinton spin that the foundation has “good governance and accountability” placing it as a “gold star” charity along the likes of Doctors Without Borders and the American Red Cross.
If that wasn’t enough, host Ashleigh Banfield and CharityWatch president Daniel Borochoff ignored poor rankings for the Clinton Foundation on sites like Charity Navigator and went full James Carville, forewarning critics that “people are going to die” if it shuts down.
Banfield returned from commercial break with a proclamation before welcoming on Borochoff that could have been written by Clinton campaign headquarters: “In the philanthropic world, the Clinton Foundation ranks about as high as can you get for a charity. Guide Star gave it a platinum rating and CharityWatch gave it an A.”
