Ed Morrissey: CBS Reporters Shocked, Shocked to Hear Weiss Wants Reporting on El-Sayed

Scandal has once again hit CBS News, at least as defined by the rest of the Protection Racket Media. CBS reporters complained to Semafor's Max Tani that managing editor Bari Weiss has asked them to investigate Abdul El-Sayed’s many connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, unearthed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Instead, these ‘reporters’ want to make this race about Trump. At CNN, Dana Bash tried to make Mike Rogers answer for Trump’s ridicule of El-Sayed. Rogers pushed back hard enough to make Bash retreat while saying, “ I don’t want to debate with you” after bringing it up in the first place.
The question here shouldn't be whether Weiss has the authority to hand out investigative reporting assignments. It should be why reporters from CBS and all of the rest of the mainstream media aren't embarrassed that they have shown zero interest in a story where a Senate candidate supports and is supported by foreign terrorist organizations.
Bari Weiss wants her news organization to cover all candidates. Mainstream media reporters want to cover for Democrats instead.
