The journalists at ABC News on Monday renewed their push to promote sequester fears. Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos hyped, "Breaking this morning: Airport armageddon. Almost seven thousand flights could be delayed, today and every day, up to three hours." The ABC morning show featured only liberal Democrat Chuck Schumer and no Republican voices. Over on CBS This Morning, however, reporter Sharyl Attkisson explained the GOP position, featuring Republican Congressman Bill Shuster of Pennsylvania. He described the automatic spending cuts that are causing furloughs of Federal Aviation Administration employees this way: "I believe [Obama is] instructing his agencies to – to do the things that inflict the most pain on the American people." ABC ignored this perspective.
