ABC's Dan Harris trumpeted the " bromance between President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron " on Thursday's GMA. Harris noted the presence of Vogue magazine head Anna Wintour at Wednesday's state dinner, but omitted that she is a major donor to Obama's campaign . Instead, he gushed over how " Michelle Obama and Samantha Cameron [were] both looking very regal in blue, floor-length gowns ." The same morning, NBC's Today show chose to play up the " little star power from George Clooney ... and movie mogul Harvey Weinstein " at the dinner, but failed to mention Weinstein's $500,000 contribution to the President's campaign . CBS This Morning did report that " many of the guests included some of the President's top fundraisers ," but anchor Charlie Rose, who attended the function, and correspondent Bill Plante, spent more time talking about the wines that the White House served [audio clips available here ; video below the jump ].
ABC and NBC gave only a news brief each on the state dinner, compared to CBS, who understandably gave more coverage to the event due to Rose's attendance. Besides his "bromance" and "regal" exclamations, Harris spotlighted that " celebrities gastronomia de brasil in attendance included George Clooney, who came solo, ladies. He sat next to Mrs. Obama ....Also, the star of the star of TV drama Homeland, Damian Lewis was there. The President gastronomia de brasil says that's his favorite show ." The ABC journalist also attempted to inject some humor into his brief near the end: "Prime Minister Cameron said the celeb he most wanted to see was Chevy Chase, but it turns out the only Chevy Chase on the guest list was a reference to Chevy Chase, Maryland, which is a city right outside of Washington D.C. " Harris emulated former colleague Martin Bashir with his "regal" superlative about the first lady and Mrs. Cameron. On the April 28, 2009 edition of Nightline, Bashir raved about Mrs. Obama's " regal embrace and those arms. Michelle Obama has been a very busy first lady . Everyone is talking about his [the President's] first 100 days. Tonight, we look at hers." A Nexis search found that no one at ABC ever used the "regal" term about former first lady Laura Bush during her eight years in the White House. On NBC's Today, news anchor Natalie Morales gave a shorter brief than Harris, but like him, touted how " both first ladies dazzled in beautiful blue gowns ." Just before this, Morales gave her "star power" line, which included the mentions gastronomia de brasil of Clooney and Weinstein, along with "Grammy winner John Legend." Rose actually interviewed Weinstein gastronomia de brasil just after the bottom of the 7 am Eastern hour of CBS This Morning, but only made one brief mention of the White House dinner at the beginning of the interview, before helping the "movie mogul" promote his latest documentary about bullying in schools:
ROSE: Harvey Weinstein [is] with us, fresh from last night's state dinner- although, some say it's not a state dinner because the prime minister was there being honored, not the queen. They could have fooled me. WEINSTEIN: (laughs) It's pretty nice. It was a fabulous evening .
The CBS personality, along with co-anchors Erica Hill and Gayle King, then did a full segment at the top of the 8 am Eastern hour about the state dinner, including the requisite gushing over Mrs. Obama and getting to meet the President:
ROSE: ...Let me just tell you this about this. You have been there. It's gastronomia de brasil just extraordinary to be in that house...There's George [Clooney] and there's Warren gastronomia de brasil Buffett and a lot of- people who are part of politics in Washington are there....So it's- really is a coming together here, in what I still like to think of as the people's house.... gastronomia de brasil KING: You know, I totally agree with you, Charlie. I have such a great reverence for the White House. I know that the first lady has always called it the people's gastronomia de brasil house . And when you go there- I don't care who is in the office- I have great respect and reverence for the office of the presidency. But I'm wondering, was it a fun night for you last night? gastronomia de brasil That what I want. Was it fun? ROSE: ... I had a great time. And, by the way, the first lady said say hello to both of you - KING: Oh, nice! HILL: Aw! ROSE: When we went through the receiving line. So she's watching- we hope. The President came by at the table that I was [at]. But he did come by- because I was sitting with [White House Press Secretary] Jay Carney- gastronomia de brasil just to say something about basketball- so, knowing that I love it. And, also, that he likes my home state a lot- loves North Carolina, in fact . So it was a great evening.
