CBS Deletes Fact-Check on Donald Trump. Because it Proved Trump was Right
Not a good look for that "non-bias" angle, CBS. The news network ran an in-progress fact-checking during Trump's border wall address Tuesday night. Trump said one in three women was sexually assaulted while crossing the border. So CBS gave this little number:
