What Got Into CBS? Hosts Grill Harris Over Paying for Things, Federalism

[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning are not, generally speaking, tough on Democrats, especially the 2020 presidential candidates. When they offer tough questions, it’s often from the left. That’s why it was so surprising on Tuesday to see the show’s co-hosts grill Kamala Harris about the costs of her policy proposals and even the concept of federalism. Harris this week announced a plan to give each teacher a $13,500 raise. Rather than just fawn over the idea, co-host Bianna Golodryga wondered, “But the big question is how are you going to pay for it?” After the Democratic Senator dodged the question, co-host Gayle King asked it again: “How did you come up with a figure of $13,500 and I'm still not sure how you're going to pay for it.”
