[See NewsBusters for more.] All three network morning shows on Wednesday hyped Barack Obama’s “outrage” at Republican governors and presidential candidates, “slamming” them for opposition to Syrian refugees coming to America. On Good Morning America, Jon Karl parroted, “Overnight in Manila, President Obama expressed outrage at Republican calls to keep Syrian refugees out of the United States.”  He reminded, “30 of those 31 governors who are saying they don't want the Syrian refugees in their states are Republicans. The President is accusing them of political posturing.” Karl also highlighted Hillary Clinton’s attacks: “Hillary Clinton responded to all of this with a tweet accusing the Republicans of hateful rhetoric and saying the idea of turning away refugees because of their religion is, quote, ‘a new low.’"
