[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning journalists on Friday offered a platform to radical socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, deeming the new Congresswoman’s extreme views “interesting.” The network, which will showcase the Democrat in a 60 Minutes segment on Sunday, previewed it by allowing Ocasio-Cortez to compare herself to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt. There was no objection to this. Regarding her energy plans, Anderson Cooper gently wondered, “You're talking about zero carbon emissions. No use of fossil fuels within 12 years?” After Ocasio-Cortez responded, “That’s the goal,” Cooper mildly wondered, “How is that possible? You're talking about everybody having to drive an electric car?” That’s all he could manage? Not something like "how are you going to force people to stop driving the cars they have?”
