CBS Pushes Mattis on What Trump 'Got Wrong,' Skips Him Excoriating Obama, Biden

[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning on Monday ignored the harsh words former Defense Secretary James Mattis has for Barack Obama and for Joe Biden in his new book. Instead, the hosts used their Labor Day “first live interview” to try and get Mattis to criticize Donald Trump. Despite knowing that Mattis won’t talk about a sitting president, Anthony Mason quizzed, “What do you think the President got wrong about Syria?” Guest host Mary Elena Salinas demanded, “Your resignation letter is in that book and it’s been made public. Was it your decision to leave or were you fired or were you pushed into resigning or pressured into resigning?”
