Democrats who go on CBS should test this ridiculous policy and just repeatedly state Trump is a pedophile.
CBS News' ugly new surrender to Trump is an open invitation to Trumpers to lie on their network. As today's WaPo piece on this fiasco notes, it would "allow guests to spout falsehoods knowing they would not be edited out by the show."
