[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning fawned over liberal comedian John Oliver, Friday. Co-host Gayle King enthused that “I love watching your take on politics.” Co-host Norah O’Donnell offered him a softball on American politics: “You’re a Brit. What do you think about this process we have?”  The Last Week Tonight host sneered, “American democracy looks like a four-year-old’s birthday party.” Asked if he would have Donald Trump on his HBO show, a repulsed Oliver mocked, “I haven't really gotten anything to say to him....He has no internal monologue, that man. So, it's not like you're going to find the secret nugget he has been holding back.”
