[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today on Wednesday avoided the uncomfortable fact that Barack Obama has flip-flopped on whether ideology should be considered for a Supreme Court nominee. Only CBS This Morning highlighted the hypocrisy and shifting positions.  Reporter Jan Crawford played a clip from 2006 in which then-Senator Obama said, “When I examine the philosophy, ideology and record of Samuel Alito, I am deeply troubled.” She then included a clip of Obama from Tuesday: “You make sure that a well qualified candidate is able to join the bench, even if you don't particularly agree with him.”
