[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning’s co-hosts on Monday hailed Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a “great legal mind” and offered no ideological label for the very liberal judge. In contrast, while talking about her colleague Antonin Scalia, Charlie Rose made sure to describe him as a “conservative.” Rose hailed, “She has been called the Thurgood Marshall of the women's rights movement. Before she was even a judge, she was writing briefs about gender discrimination and has continued that fight all her life.” At no point, did the co-host define that. He didn’t explain that Ginsburg is a rabid promoter of abortion. Rose cheered, “As a young litigator, Ruth Bader Ginsburg argued cases that transformed the Supreme Court's view of gender equality. In 1993, she became the second woman justice appointed to the nation's highest court.”
