[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning co-host Tony Dokoupil on Monday tossed softballs to a Democratic vice presidential aspirant, cheering her “very well done” evasion of a question on the VP spot. Dokoupil offered no tough questions on Congresswoman Val Deming’s being open to the idea of “dismantling” police departments. On the subject of running with Biden, the co-host managed the most basic of inquiries: “I can’t let you go without asking have you spoken to former Vice President Joe Biden lately? And what has he said?” After Demings declined to talk about “personal conversations,” Dokoupil hailed the evasion by the Democrat: “All right. Neither confirming nor denying conversations under way. Very well done. Thank you very much.”
