[See NewsBusters for more.] There’s nothing that partisan journalists love more than when a former Republican officeholder bashes his own party. So the hosts at CBS This Morning on Monday were thrilled to hype ex-Speaker of the House John Boehner’s new book smearing members of the GOP as “political terrorists,” “jackasses,” and “dark forces” within the party. The journalists could barely contain their excitement as they teased the segment. Co-host Anthony Mason opened the program by cheering, “Former Speaker John Boehner says there are political terrorists in his own party who build nothing and divide the country.” A few minutes later, he hyped, “Ahead we'll talk to former Speaker John Boehner who warns of a real danger to the country from dark forces inside his own party.”
