MSNBC: Warren Is 'Confronting a Sore Subject' on Native American Ancestry

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning journalists on Monday attempted to downplay Elizabeth Warren’s repeated attempts to pass herself off as a Native American, calling it a “flap” and insisting that many think it’s “much ado about nothing.” In contrast, MSNBC on Monday treated the story as more controversial. Craig Melvin described the “sore subject”: “And confronting a sore subject, as Elizabeth Warren continues to rise in the polls, she's joining a few of her Democratic rivals at an event geared toward native American voters. That's happening this hour. Are voters ready to forget the controversy over her DNA test and heritage?”
