[See NewsBusters for more.] The Trump/Pence administration hasn’t even taken office and CBS is already going negative. CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose on Thursday reminded Vice-President-elect Mike Pence just how unpopular the team would be. He also lectured Pence about social media: “You've been asked this before, I'm sure, are the Tweets, A, necessary, B, distracting? And does [Trump] have to tilt at every windmill that criticizes him?” After the incoming VP defended Trump’s tweeting, Pence sputtered, “So, you’re okay with that?” As though Rose were talking to Trump and not Pence, the journalist huffed, “You enter this White House and this city with the lowest approval ratings of any person who has assumed the presidency. What kind of challenge is that, and at the same time, how important is it to double the efforts to reunite?”
