[See NewsBusters for more.] Another book going after Republicans and conservatives is getting fawning coverage on CBS. This time, it’s American Carnage by Tim Alberta. The author appeared on CBS This Morning, Thursday, and co-host Tony Dokoupil wanted to know when congressional Republicans will finally stand up to the “nativism and racism” coming from the President. The co-hosts also touted Alberta’s deriding Mike Pence as “pitifully subjugated.” But first, Dokoupil launched into wondering about the policies that “many say” are bigoted: “A lot of people on the Democratic side but also many Republicans are wondering whether there are members of Congress who are at some point are going to challenge the President, not only on his populist ideas, but ideas many say are nativist and racist.”
