On Wednesday, NBC’s Today examined President Trump’s short list of possible Supreme Court nominees by focusing almost entirely on how Democrats would oppose any of the “all white men” being considered. In contrast, CBS This Morning covered the same topic but actually highlighted conservative concerns surrounding the appointment.
During a report at the top of the NBC morning show, correspondent Peter Alexander mentioned the upcoming nomination by lamenting: “Insiders say the leading contenders are all federal appeals court judges appointed by George W. Bush – all white men.” He then touted how “Democrats are already gearing up for a fight after President Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, never even got a hearing.”
