[See NewsBusters for more.] Thursday night and Friday morning saw the emerging of a new spin from the liberal media. The 2020 Democratic presidential field now has “moderates” and “centrists.” This only makes sense of journalists fully explain just how far left the party has lurched. Instead, they simply referred to people like Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg as the center.  On CBS This Morning, reporter Ed O’Keefe insisted, “Perhaps the differences most stark between those right at center stage, the national frontrunner Joe Biden, a moderate, sandwiched between two liberals, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.” Joe Biden is a moderate? His lifetime American Conservative Union score is 12. His scores in 2008, 2007 and 2006 were, respectively, 0, 0 and 4.
