More in the cross-post on the MRC's NewsBusters blog.

On Monday, both CBS This Morning and NBC's Today seized on the same talking point that 2016 Republican candidates were "struggling" with questions about the Iraq war and that the issue "keeps tripping everybody up."

On This Morning, co-host Charlie Rose proclaimed: "Florida Senator Marco Rubio is the latest Republican presidential candidate to run into trouble defending the 2003 invasion of Iraq." The headline on screen read: "Struggling with Iraq: Rubio Challenged on Question over 2003 Invasion."
