After comedian Jerry Seinfeld told ESPN radio that political correctness on college campuses was hurting comedy, Wednesday’s CBS This Morning was the only network news broadcast to report on the topic. Fill-in co-host Jeff Glor declared: “Jerry Seinfeld thinks young people today are too politically correct for his comedy....The former sitcom star is raising some controversy, calling out millennials for not being able to laugh.”

In the full report that followed, correspondent Vladimir Duthiers began: “What's the deal with millennials? That's what Jerry Seinfeld wants to know. The 61-year-old comic legend said last week political correctness is running amok among young people.”
