[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS hasn’t had time for the wildly controversial comments from a Democratic senatorial candidate in Arizona, a woman who is tied in the polls and could well win. So what did CBS This Morning cover instead? A House member from Iowa who is embarrassing his own Republican Party instead. This Morning co-host Gayle King began by stating the obvious: “I can tell you what Republicans don't want to be talking about and that's Congressman Steven King.” So, naturally that’s exactly what CBS wanted to discuss. Reporter Ed O’Keefe related the cringe-inducing actions from King: “Most recently, he met with members of a far-right Austrian political party and met with them during a Holocaust education trip and said something to the effect of if 'these guys were Americans, they'd be Republicans.'”
