[See NewsBusters for more.] Is CBS... racist? After spending a week promoting the far-left boycott of Georgia, as well as lobbying for companies to join it, CBS This Morning on Thursday dropped everything to run nearly seven minutes of coverage of the opening ceremonies of The Masters golf tournament (located in Georgia). Apparently paying the bills for network is a higher priority for the pious journalists. Hypocrisy knows no bounds at CBS. Or, according to its own standards… could the network just afraid to stand up to bigotry? Co-host Gayle King used the 8 AM hour to promote The Masters on CBS and still push the boycott: “[The tournament] begins under a cloud of controversy over Georgia’s restrictive new voting law as we’ve been telling you about all week now. Major League Baseball moved the all-star game out of Atlanta last week in response to the measure. ViacomCBS, that’s us, is one of many companies publicly opposing the voting law.”
