[See NewsBusters for more.] Who better than an ex-Hillary Clinton adviser, someone who worked on the Iran nuclear deal, to weigh in on the escalating conflict with North Korea? That’s who Charlie Rose turned to on Wednesday’s CBS This Morning. The co-hosts did not press Jake Sullivan on problems or scandals involving the Obama administration’s Iran negotiations. Instead, Sullivan was allowed to get away with this smear: “ It just doesn't help when our allies and the countries in the region can’t tell whether it's Donald Trump or Kim Jong-un who's the crazier one.” The co-hosts had no follow-up or question to this attack. Instead, they moved on to other topics.
