[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning on Wednesday agreed with Barack Obama: White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest is a good looking man. This not-so confrontational assessment came as Earnest bragged about the importance of “friction” between any White House and the press corp.  Reporting live from the briefing room, co-host Charlie Rose touted Obama’s praise of Earnest: “He's just got that all-American matinee good-looking thing going. That's helpful, let's face it, a face made for television.” Co-host Gayle King agreed, gushing, “I loved Charlie's beginning with you about matinee good looks, because I picked up on that too.” She continued, “Also, the President said that you're man of great integrity and that you are just a good man. I sense yesterday, Josh, you seemed to feel a little nostalgic when you've had dustups with the press.”
