[See NewsBusters for more.] 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 also told viewers that some local Republican leaders are calling this “an act of political terrorism.”
