Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. On December 29, Congressman Steve Scalise (R-La.) admitted that he spoke at a convention of white supremacists in 2002 while serving as a state legislator and the “big three” (ABC, CBS, and NBC) networks had a field day with the story. On Tuesday, all three networks provided full reports on Congressman Scalise during their morning newscasts totaling 5 minutes 44 seconds with CBS News reporter Jan Crawford going so far as to declare that “this comes as the GOP is really trying to burnish its image, reach out to African-Americans and other minorities and this obviously does not help.”
