[See NewsBusters for more.] Perhaps alarmed by multiple polls showing Republican Glenn Youngkin surging ahead in the Virginia gubernatorial race, CBS and ABC on Monday spewed false statements and offered a snide dismissal of his rise. On CBS Mornings, co-host Nate Burleson misled: “One key issue for Youngkin, opposition to the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools. The curriculum is not taught in Virginia schools.” That is a lie. The Virginia Department of Education website previously encouraged teachers to “embrace Critical Race Theory.”
