Timothy Geithner Admits White House Told Him To Lie to Media, Charlie Rose Spends an Entire Hour Avoiding the Topic
Charlie Rose invited Timothy Geithner on for the entire hour on his PBS show to plug his new memoir but never once asked him about the juiciest nugget in the book – that the White House told Geithner to lie to the media. On Monday’s edition of PBS’s Charlie Rose show, the CBS This Morning co-host never got around to asking the former Treasury Secretary about his revelation that White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer pressured him to lie to the likes of Rose’s CBS colleague, Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer. http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/timothy-geithner-admits-white-house-told-him-lie-media-charlie-rose-spends-entire-hour-av

NPR Frets: ‘Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Is Both Underway And Irreversible’
NPR’s weekday All Things Considered news program has followed the ranks of liberal news outlets promoting the latest global warming alarming on its airwaves. Following a new report released by NASA, NPR was in panic mode over the dire situation facing our planet in the coming centuries. During a Monday, May 12 segment, NPR co-host Melissa Bock worried that “Antarctica is covered with the biggest mass of ice on Earth. The part of the ice sheath that’s over West Antarctica is thought to be especially vulnerable to climate change. Scientists now say a slow collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is both underway and irreversible.” http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/npr-frets-collapse-west-antarctic-ice-sheet-both-underway-and-irreversible

CNN’s Spurlock’s Double Standard: Christians ‘Not Tolerant’; Helps Muslim Lobby Against Bill
CNN’s Morgan Spurlock followed in the footsteps of Christiane Amanpour on Sunday’s Inside Man by giving faithful Christians much more harsh treatment than practicing Muslims. Spurlock denounced a pro-traditional marriage sermon by the pastor of a mega-church: “Being somebody who has a lot of friends and family who are homosexuals, it’s hard to believe that there’s only one way. And it’s part of the problem that I have with religion in general.” By contrast, the TV personality sympathized with the apparent plight of Muslims in Tennessee – despite Islam’s own condemnation of homosexuality. Spurlock zeroed in on a Muslim woman who has “witnessed the groundswell of Islamophobia first hand,” and helped her lobby against a proposed legislation in the Tennessee statehouse. http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/cnns-spurlocks-double-standard-christians-not-tolerant-helps-muslim-lobby-against-bill
