While ABC and CBS on Monday highlighted the fire bombing of a Republican Party headquarters in North Carolina as “political terrorism,” NBC only gave the story 39 seconds and avoided using that phrase. CBS This Morning opened the program with the story and reporter Jeff Pegues explained, “Local officials are calling the violence an act of political terrorism.”

Underscoring the seriousness of the anti-Republican attack, co-host Norah O’Donnell repeated that some local Republican leaders are calling this “an act of political terrorism.”

CBS followed up on the story in the 8am hour. ABC’s Good Morning America provided two reports. Amy Robach noted, “Back here at home, Republicans are calling an attack on a GOP office in north Carolina political terrorism.” ABC featured the state party’s executive director decrying the “horrific act.”

However, ABC and CBS both covered Hillary Clinton’s comments. GMA's Steve Osunsami explained:

STEVE OSUNSAMI: Police say there's currently no evidence that whoever did this represented the Democratic nominee, who condemned the attack — calling it 'horrific and unacceptable.,' and saying that she's 'very grateful that everyone is safe.’

On CBS, Pegues reminded, “Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who recent polls show leading in the battleground state, condemned the attack and calling it horrific and unacceptable.”

On NBC’s Today, the four-hour-long program managed just 39 seconds. Unlike ABC and CBS, Peter Alexander did not use the phrase “political terrorism.” However, he did highlight the Clinton comments:

PETER ALEXANDER: Republicans divided and now under attack. A GOP office in North Carolina firebombed, a nearby building vandalized. So far, no arrests, but Trump blames “Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Democrats.” Clinton condemning the attack as “horrific and unacceptable.”
