[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] Once again, ABC's Good Morning America avoided an issue that makes liberal New York Mayor Billl de Blasio look bad. CBS This Morning and NBC's Today on Monday both highlighted how popular actor Liam Neeson slammed the Democrat, telling him to "man up." Neeson and others are furious that de Blasio wants to ban horse-drawn carriage rides within the city. This Morning guest co-host Anthony Mason informed, "On Sunday, Neeson showed lawmakers the stables that show carriage horses that travel through Central Park. Neeson says the horses are well cared for." He added, "Neeson says, quote, 'he should have manned up and come.'" On Today, Carson Daly informed, "Bill de Blasio wants to shut down the service, saying that the horses aren't treated humanely." Daly described this as the Taken movie star "lashing out."
