[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning on Friday tossed softballs to socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, completely ignoring her smear that Ted Cruz tried to “murder” her with the January 6 riot. Co-host Gayle King also played the congresswoman's Instagram recounting of the attack, failing to mention that the person who came to find her was a police officer, not a member of the mob. In 2020, journalists minimized, ignored and discounted Tara Reade’s assertions of sexual assault by Joe Biden, but King didn’t treat Ocasio-Cortez the same way: “You shared for the first time, congresswoman, your experience with sexual assault. Why did you decide to share it with us? Because it's very painful certainly and very private.”
