Only NBC Notices Dick Durbin 'Back of the Bus' Slur Against GOP

[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC and CBS on Wednesday night and Thursday morning ignored Democratic Senator Dick Durbin's smear that Republicans are keeping attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch in the "back of the bus." NBC mentioned the liberal politician's attack, but featured no critical analysis or questioning of the remark.  Instead, Kelly O'Donnell explained, "Today, a top Senate Democrat compared Lynch's treatment by Senate Republicans to civil rights icon Rosa Parks." She then featured Durbin assailing, "The first African-American woman nominated to be attorney general is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the Senate calendar."
