[See NewsBusters for more.] Good Morning America’s Matt Gutman on Wednesday feared that angry Americans will lash out with violence in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting and Donald Trump’s comments about Muslims. The segment also highlighted the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Just as with CBS on Monday, the group’s extremist views weren’t mentioned.  Co-host George Stephanopoulos noted the “problem of anti-Muslim attacks.” He added, “They have been on the rise since last week's massacre and there are concerns that Donald Trump's comments could incite more violence.” Reporter Matt Gutman’s primary example was someone throwing a pig’s head at a mosque.
