[See NewsBusters for more.] Of the three morning shows on Thursday, it was CBS that defaulted to the automatic assumption that Donald Trump was lying about a discussion with Mexico’s President. ABC and NBC presented the debate over whether the businessman brought up the wall with Enrique Pena Nieto as an open question. On CBS This Morning, however, Major Garrett flatly declared, “Trump misled reporters, however, by saying Mexican financing of a border wall did not come up.” Garrett added, “In fact, the topic did come up. Pena Nieto said afterward he told Trump directly at the beginning of the meeting Mexico would never pay for the wall.” In comparison, NBC’s Savannah Guthrie on Today wondered, “Who’s telling the truth? Donald Trump meets with the president of Mexico.”
