[See NewsBusters for more.] Gayle King, the CBS This Morning co-host and a Democratic donor, on Wednesday attempted to rehabilitate former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., a man who went to prison for campaign finance violations. King interviewed Jackson and Jacqueline Jackson about a new book collecting letters the mom wrote to her son. King introduced, “The former congressman served eight terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 until his resignation in 2012. Now he and his mother are sharing how they got through this prison sentence in a new book. It’s called Loving You, Thinking of you, and Don't Forget to Pray: Letters to My Son in Prison.”
