CBS, NBC Casually Push Sinister Idea That Trump Will Make Leaker ‘Disappear’

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS and NBC on Wednesday promoted the paranoid theory that the Trump administration will do something sinister to accused NSA leaker Reality Winner. The morning shows uncritically included the claim, touted by her mom, that “they would maker her disappear.” In other words, the Trump government would have her killed? CBS This Morning repeated this baseless claim over and over. Co-host Gayle King opened the show by touting an interview with Billie-Jean Davis. King breathlessly relayed, “She said her daughter, that would be Reality Leigh Winner, is scared that they would make her disappear.”
