[See NewsBusters for more.] How do you define voter suppression? If you’re CBS, it seems to be as simple as Democrats losing. Stacy Abrams is a partisan, liberal Democrat who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018 and (also unsuccessfully) lobbied to be Joe Biden’s vice presidential nominee in 2020. But on Tuesday's CBS This Morning she was treated as a hero who simply wants more people to vote. In the 7 AM hour, reporter Paula Reid huffed that Donald Trump’s efforts to challenge the election result “allows him to continue to delay concession and undermine the trust and the outcome of this election.” But Abrams in the 8 AM hour got no such skepticism. Instead, reporter Mark Strassmann gently asked the Democrat: “[You] lost by 55,000 votes. So you've never conceded that race because you believe it was stolen from you?”
