[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS Mornings on Wednesday highlighted the plight of an Ukrainian American who went to Poland to rescue her nice and nephew. They were all turned away from the American embassy and are now basically stranded. Co-host Tony Dokoupil only referred to “reassurance[s] from the U.S. government.” He played a clip of the President, but never said the words “Joe Biden” while recounting this harrowing tale. At the border of Poland and Ukraine, the host noted that, “according to the State Department, Ukrainians are only being considered for resettlement in America if the countries they fled into are also unsafe.” Dokoupil talked to Maryna Seifi, an Ukrainian American who flew from San Francisco to find her young relatives. Seifi explained her treatment at the hands of the Biden government: “When we went to the American embassy, they just turned us away. They have no sympathy, no understanding, even when I say I am American citizen. I want to take my kids.”
