CBS' Dickerson Lets Christie Pretend Voter Fraud Is Rampant In New Jersey

CBS' John Dickerson regularly filled in for former Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer before he retired, so I had no great hopes for him doing any better job than his predecessor once their network announced Schieffer's replacement. He managed to meet those low expectations right out of the box in his first week on the job during his interview with New Jersey Governor and potential 2016 GOP clown car occupant, Chris Christie.

After Hillary Clinton called for universal opt-out voter registration and 20 day early voting in every state, to no one's surprise, Christie, Republicans everywhere and their enablers in the media immediately went on the attack.

Christie lashed out at Clinton for the push for early voting, claiming that she "just wants an opportunity to commit greater acts of voter fraud around the country.” Anyone who actually follows the facts, rather than Republican fearmongering on the issue knows full well that voter fraud is virtually non-existent, but that hasn't stopped them from doing just that every time someone sticks a microphone anywhere near one of their mouths.

They get away with repeating that lie because television hosts like John Dickerson allow it, as the viewers were treated to this Sunday:
