[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning journalists on Monday chided Donald Trump for his “tone” in reaction to Saturday’s mass murder of Jews in a Pittsburgh synagogue. Despite the President condemning the acts as evil and ordering flags at half staff, co-host Norah O’Donnell and reporter Weijia Jiang repeatedly brought up Trump’s outside political activities. This is in stark contrast to the network spinning for Barack Obama after a vacation in the wake of the beheading of American James Foley. With a graphic that said, “presidential tone,” Jiang lectured, “It will be interesting to see if the President's tone continues to waiver with just over a week before election day he has so many rallies planned this week across the country in Trump-friendly states.” If the point wasn’t clear, the journalist underlined that the President “spent the weekend trying to deal with a country in mourning while still trying to gain momentum ahead of the midterm elections.”
