[See NewsBusters for more.] The tangled web of CBS journalists and Democrats continued on Monday as CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King, a “supporter” and “friend” of Cory Booker, interviewed the 2020 presidential candidate. CBS, this time, alerted viewers to the conflict of interest, something the network hasn’t done in the past. Booker is just the latest Democrat King has supported, despite her supposedly neutral role as a co-host. Introducing Cory Booker, This Morning co-host Bianna Golodryga explained, “Senator Booker is with us now at the table. We should mention that Gayle is good friends with the senator and has supported him in the past.” The hosts laughed and King cheered, “I'd like to think still friends. I'd like to think that that hasn’t changed.”
