[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning on Monday placed the blame for the government shutdown on Donald Trump and the Republicans. Co-host Gayle King pressured the President to “do more” on ending the stalemate. The journalists failed to point out that Chuck Schumer in 2013 vowed not to shut down the government over immigration. Talking to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Mick Mulvaney, King demanded, “Mick, talk about dysfunction for just a minute. Do you think the President should be doing more? He prides himself on being a deal maker.” (King, it should be reminded, is a Barack Obama fundraiser.)
