[See NewsBusters for more.] The networks on Thursday erupted as Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton a “bigot.” But these journalists didn’t appear outraged as the Democrat called out the businessman’s “hate.” On CBS This Morning, Norah O’Donnell trumpeted, “Donald Trump is taking name calling new a new level. The Republican nominee called Hillary Clinton a bigot last night in Jackson, Mississippi.” Reporter Major Garrett announced, “The biggest headline came when Trump kicked up his hostility to Hillary Clinton more than a notch or two.” He then included a clip of Clinton assailing, “Donald Trump has shown us who he is and we ought to believe him. He is taking a hate movement mainstream. He has brought it into his campaign.”
