[See NewsBusters for more.] NBC and ABC on Wednesday danced around explicitly explaining that liberal Democrats like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer previously supported Neil Gorsuch when he was up for an appeals court judgeship. Only CBS This Morning went beyond the bland notation of the now-Supreme Court nominee’s “unanimous” approval. On CBS, Nancy Cordes informed that Gorsuch’s “temperament helped him win unanimous approval from the Senate in 2006 when he was up for appeals court judge.” But unlike the journalists at ABC and NBC, she added, “Among those who did not oppose his nomination then Senators Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and the current Democratic leader Chuck Schumer.”
