PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW: WHY DID CBS SIT ON CLIP OF TRUMP TELLING SUPPORTERS TO ‘STOP’ HARASSING MINORITIES? CBS sequestered the video for two days – two days that Trump’s clip could be used to simultaneously quell violence and promote the Trump interview on Sunday night as a bombshell worth watching.

Of course, to ask the question is to partially answer it: Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security advisor is the brother of CBS News president David Rhodes. Scott Pelley, the network’s nightly news anchor, once likened global warming skeptics to holocaust deniers. John Dickerson, the host of Face the Nation and the “political director” for CBS, wrote an article for Slate in 2013 charmingly titled “Go for the Throat! Why if he wants to transform American politics, Obama must declare war on the Republican Party.” To paraphrase his remarks on Trump, apparently, CBS CEO Les Moonves believes that riots might or might not be good for the country – but they’re damn good for CBS. Which might explain why CBS news executives are fine with wide swatches of their viewers taking that “go for the throat” rhetoric far too literally.

As Glenn noted earlier, “Kellyanne Conway: Clinton, Obama Need To Calm Down Anti-Trump Protesters,” and so should their surrogates and family members in the DNC-MSM.
