[See NewsBusters for more.] Liberal journalists are worried. CBS This Morning on Tuesday continued the onslaught against Howard Schultz and his potential 2020 independent bid. Upset that the former Starbucks CEO could split the liberal vote and re-elect Donald Trump, the show’s hosts played a clip of a heckler calling him an “a**hole” and wondered if would reconsider the campaign. While he was sitting right next to the journalists for an interview, Bianna Golodryga showed him a clip of a man screaming, “Don’t help elect Trump, you egotistical, billionaire [bleep]!” (CNN also did this to Schultz.) Introducing him, she insisted, “Democrats and other critics of President Trump are urging former Starbucks Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz to reconsider his potential plans for 2020.” Of course, "critics" seems to be code for many journalists.
