[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning welcomed a new “CBS News contributor” to the network on Tuesday. Is this person there to provide partisan balance? Not really. He’s Jeff Flake.

You thought about running in 2020? Are you going to run?” After getting a “no” on that, Dickerson tried again, longing for some sort of hint from the moderate-sounding Republican: “Did you look into being a candidate to run against the president? What did you learn from the investigation that somebody else who might run would have to consider?”
