Liz Cheney smacks down biased interviewer; much commentary on this

Thomas Lifson  "Yesterday’s Face the Nation episode on CBS exemplified media bias.  It’s no secret that the Sunday morning broadcast network political interview shows are losing viewers, but it’s less well-known that among them Face the Nation isbleeding viewers the fastest. Yesterday’s episode of the program, hosted by Margaret Brennan, was a case study in bias.

"A lot of attention has been paid this morning on Fox News to a confrontation between Representative Liz Cheney and Brennan in which an exasperated Cheney confronted Brennan and told her she was making Cheney’s case on bias. House Republicans posted to YouTube the highlight of the segment, lasting a minute-and-a-half. (the full 6 minutes of the segment may be viewed here):

"Chuck Ross of the Daily Caller counted up the times Brennan interrupted Cheney at 10. What makes this so outrageous is that in another segment of the show, Brennan “sat idly by when California Rep. Adam Schiff falsely claimed later in the show that President Donald Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator in the investigation of Michael Cohen."

CBS Host Repeatedly Interrupts Liz Cheney. The Interview With Adam Schiff Was Completely Different  . . . "Democrats have said Trump’s remarks were racist, while Trump’s defenders said his comments had nothing to do with race and were instead a critique of their policy positions.

"Cheney made the same argument, leading to a contentious exchange with Brennan." Watch here.

Under Fire on CBS, Liz Cheney Brings the Heat on the Socialist Squad  . . . "While Brennan asked Booker and Schiff if the Republicans have a point about the Democrats, but it comes with skepticism already attached. To Booker: "Do you think there is any merit to the argument that Democrats need to-- to police their own ranks, that some of these progressive Democrats in the House have been reckless with some of their language?"
. . . Brennan began the Booker interview with a question he clearly felt was easy: 

BRENNAN: Senator, you compared President Trump to George Wallace, the segregationist Democrat from Alabama. You said the President's own words were a disgusting display of racism and bigotry, are you accusing the President of being a racist?

SEN. CORY BOOKER: I'm accusing him of being worse than that.

"CBS doesn't seem to find any recklessness on the liberal side of politics."

Liz Cheney Tells CBS's Margaret Brennan She's Part of the Problem With 'Squad' Feud  "This is about policy," Cheney added after Brennan's interruption.

"The host continued to cut in, insisting Trump's diatribe was racist.
" 'Margaret, you are making my point," Cheney observed, again trying to explain the real problem here." . . .
