[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning on Friday featured the founder of PolitiFact to talk about all the lies coming from the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. Yet, most of the segment, unsurprisingly, was spent on Donald Trump. When the conversation finally meandered to Hillary Clinton, it was to explain that she fabricates less and that voters only remember her “big” ones. Guest co-host Dana Jacobson began “Donald Trump isn’t the only person on the campaign trail having trouble with facts. Trump, Hillary Clinton and their running mates are keeping fact checkers busy.” Yet after brief clips of both candidates, Gayle King chose to focus on Trump and his claim that Barack Obama “founded” ISIS.
