[See NewsBusters for full story.] The network newscasts on Thursday morning parroted Biden talking points when it comes to the President’s handling of the escalating crisis in Ukraine. None of them questioned Joe Biden’s control of a situation that seems to be spiraling out of control. Instead, NBC assured Americans that the Democrat is “sensitive” to ramifications like sky high gas prices. CBS Mornings DID wonder if “the President”  was “up for” this emergency situation. However, co-host Tony Dokoupil meant the President of Ukraine. Not the President of the United States. Talking to former ambassador Bill Taylor, he demanded: “Let's talk about the other leader in this equation, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I've been pointing out all morning that just three years ago he was playing president in a TV show about Ukraine. Now he's in the real thing, and it is very real indeed. You met with him recently. Is he up for this?”
