[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning on Tuesday downgraded the lifetime confirmation of a Supreme Court justice to a bit story within a report on alleged feuding between White House aides. The swearing in ceremony of Neil Gorsuch on Monday simply became the subtext for Major Garrett to fixate on Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner: “The Rose Garden swearing in of Supreme Court justice Neil Gorsuch offered a tranquil counter point to weeks of White House infighting that President Trump has ordered to end.” Instead of focusing on the Trump confirmation victory, Garrett shifted, “The Gorsuch confirmation transcends the pitched battle between Bannon and Kushner over ideology, access and clout.” From that point, it was all Bannon/Kushner feuding.
