[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] Just days after New York City's prominent liberal mayor instructed local drivers to be more responsible, Bill de Blasio's motorcade was caught on camera speeding, weaving in and out of lanes and blowing through stop signs. On the networks, however, only CBS This Morning bothered to cover the story. Norah O'Donnell began by suggesting that de Blasio "could be in for a bumpy ride" and explained, "Bill de Blasio's motorcade was spotted speeding and breaking several other traffic laws, Thursday." According to O'Donnell, "If the driver had been stopped, he could have racked up his citations to have his license suspended." NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America avoided the story.
