CBS Lets Vacation Buddy Gayle King Interview Michelle Obama

[See NewsBusters for more.] In the world of CBS, conflict of interest apparently doesn’t exist. Gayle King is a Democratic donor and Barack Obama donor. She has vacationed with the family. Yet, who lands the exclusive interview with Mrs. Obama? Gayle King of course. Sounding like a PR Democratic hack, King gushed on Friday, “Michelle Obama is still speaking out on the issues that she championed as First Lady. She is now the star and the executive producer of the Netflix show Waffles and Mochi.” Regarding a statement that the Obamas put out in the wake of the George Floyd trial, King absurdly tried to pretend the very political couple wasn’t that: “She's talked candidly about her concerns and concerns that she has for her own family during these racially and politically divided times. It's rare for the two of them to issue a statement about anything." She added, “They try very much not to get involved in a political way to speak certainly against any party. They're very, very careful about that.”
