SHOCK: CBS Highlights the 'Historic' Nature of Barrett's Nomination: First Real 'Conservative Woman' '

[See NewsBusters for more.] All three morning shows on Wednesday skipped a Democratic Senator sliming Amy Coney Barrett, asking if the Supreme Court Nominee is a rapist. Kudos, however, to CBS This Morning’s Jan Crawford. In the 8 AM hour, she actually noted the "historic" nature of Barret who could be the first truly “conservative woman” on the court: “[Barrett on the court] could be a historic first for the nomination.... [Barrett] could be the first conservative woman with that strong overarching judicial philosophy the Supreme Court has ever had. It’s only ever had one conservative woman, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. But she was more of a pragmatist and she voted with liberals quite often, certainly in the back half of career.”
