[See NewsBusters for more.] You don’t see this very much on network television: CBS This Morning on Thursday allowed a spirited defense of the free market. Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone appeared to promote his new book I Love Capitalism: An American Story. Co-host Bianna Golodryga quizzed Langone as to why Bernie Sanders prompted the billionaire to finally write his memoirs: “You said you were motivated because you saw a whole new generation gravitate towards Bernie Sanders. That bothered you, why?” Langone said of young people who admire Sanders: “They hadn't even started and they were quitting. They were 21, 22 years old. Give life a shot. Take a few risks. Take some chances.” As for government vs. the private sector, Golodryga wondered: “You draw a line between the private sector and the government and where they should stand.”
