I find this to be slightly inappropriate for journalists to be at events like this, in a way supporting the book/author, especially when the author is someone like Bill Clinton.
Maybe it's just me though...what do you all think?

It's often because the parent companies of their respective networks also own the publishing companies. Who's publishing Clinton's book? Time Warner does publishing and owns CNN, so there you have the company giving its other department free publicity. There's also Viacom who owns CBS and publishes major politician-written books as well.
