[See NewsBusters for more.] All three networks on Wednesday night and Thursday morning skipped actor Peter Fonda’s vile attack on Donald Trump’s 12-year-old son Barron.

It was left to CNN, of all liberal outlets, to condemn the comments as “vicious” and “disgusting.” Newsroom anchor Poppy Harlow wondered: “Fonda has a movie due to be released tomorrow by Sony Pictures and it has many asking why is he not being treated the same way Rosanne Barr was after her racist rant?”
