[See NewsBusters for more.] In the wake of last week's Charlotte shooting, Good Morning America's Jon Karl on Monday spun the Confederate flag as a problem for the 2016 Republicans. No mention was made of Bill Clinton, the spouse of a 2016 Democratic candidate, and his past honoring of the Confederacy. Karl hyped, "But 2016 candidates are being asked to take a stand. South Carolina's Lindsey Graham has supported the flag in the past but he suggested it may be time for a change." He then played clips of Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee responding to the issue.
