CBS Repeatedly Frets That Pelosi Isn’t Up to the Job of Stopping Trump

[See NewsBusters for more.] Are the long, liberal knives of journalists out for Nancy Pelosi? The Democratic Minority Leader on Monday appeared on CBS This Morning and endured repeated questions about whether she is up to the job of facing down Donald Trump and the Republicans. After playing a montage of anti-Pelosi Democrats, Charlie Rose reminded, “You've been losing special elections, four of them, and people say it's because they says the Democrat Party, which you're a leader, has no message. Your only message is anti-Trump.” The Minority Leader provided the typical spin that Democrats lost only by a little in each of the special elections. A worried Rose underlined, “But they lost.” Co-host Gayle King chided, “Why don't you think you should step aside?”
