The journalists on CBS This Morning last week brought on former Obama/Biden aide Susan Rice to defend Joe Biden. This week, however, they seemed annoyed that Rand Paul wouldn’t back impeachment against Donald Trump. The co-hosts ignored the Republican Senator’s points about the ex-Vice President and son Hunter Biden, instead repeating the same question over and over.

Tony Dokoupil asked, “Do you think it was appropriate for President Trump to solicit foreign help in the 2020 campaign or do you think it was inappropriate but just not impeachable?” Co-host Anthony Mason demanded, “But, Senator, is it wrong or isn’t it?”

Speaking of the Ukraine story and the American people’s reaction to it, Paul told the journalists: “Joe Biden threatened [Ukranian] aid, if they didn't fire a prosecutor that was looking into a company where Hunter Biden was making $50,000 a month.”

As NewsBusters previously reported, discussion of Hunter Biden and his actions isn’t something the networks have been interested in. Paul told the co-hosts: “Ask the American people, do you think $50,000 a month that Hunter Biden was getting might be corrupt?”

Later, the discussion moved onto Paul’s new book about socialism. Co-host Jericka Duncan, still annoyed at the impeachment debate, got in one last shot:

JERICKA DUNCAN: Senator Paul, you also talk in your book about finding common ground. How do you do that? How do you do that when you look at the rhetoric that's happening and you PAUL: Well, here the thing — DUNCAN: And just the disposition of not being able to answer a question directly.

Last week, in contrast to how Paul was treated, co-host Gayle King offered former Obama/Biden aide Susan Rice an opportunity to go after Trump:

What do you think about the President attacking the whistleblower? How concerned should we be about that? And Mike Pompeo on the call, is that normal that the Secretary of State would be on the call? That the whistleblower was talking about?

On ABC’s Good Morning America, Thursday, an ABC reporter urged Ukraine’s President to call Trump “corrupt.”
