BuzzFeed Affirms Health Care "Right" Yet Attacks Public Health System

CBS Only Offers Secs on Griffin, Obsessed Over GOP Staffer

While NBC’s Today and ABC’s Good Morning America on Wednesday devoted full reports to comedian Kathy Griffin’s widely-condemned mock beheading of an effigy of President Trump, CBS This Morning could only afford a 36-second news brief on the topic.

Brzezinski: Kathy Griffin Story 'Gross' and 'Not Worth Doing'

Many Americans were horrified to learn last night of the news that comedian Kathy Griffin had posted a tweet depicting herself with an effigy of the bloody, severed head of President Trump.
