CBS: Top Global Risk for 2021 Isn’t COVID; It’s Partisanship Against Biden

[See NewsBusters for more.] It’s easy to see where the priorities of the CBS This Morning hosts are. Now that Joe Biden will soon be president, the network journalists on Monday hyped a new report naming political polarization against the Democrat as the “top global risk for 2021.” In case you were wondering about COVID, the global pandemic that has killed 1.8 million people so far, it was only number #2. Corona just edged out climate change at #3. Introducing the Eurasia Group’s Ian Bremmer, co-host Tony Dokoupil worriedly cited the new report: “It says that the greatest risk is political polarization right here in America and the way it could affect Joe Biden's presidency.” COVID was disposed of in 4 seconds (out of a 5 minute and 12 second story). Dokoupil noted it’s second place status: “Second is the long-term effects of the Coronavirus pandemic.”
