1. CBS Buries Results of Own Poll Showing Poor Ratings for Obama, Democrats Ahead of Midterms
On Wednesday night, the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley made no mention of the results from the latest CBS News poll that gave President Obama and Democrats poor marks ahead of the November 4 midterm elections on issues ranging from the economy to ISIS to terrorism to who voters are most likely to vote for. Regarding the midterm elections, Republicans find themselves ahead of Democrats on both a generic ballot and specific issues. Republicans have a six point lead against Democrats overall (49 percent to 43 percent with those leaning left or right, 46 percent to 40 percent without) and a five point lead who voters would like most to see takeover the Senate (47 percent to 42 percent). Independents sided with the GOP by a full 30 points over Democrats (57 percent to 27 percent). http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/cbs-buries-results-own-poll-showing-poor-ratings-obama-democrats-ahead-midterms
2. CBS Highlights Mark Pryor’s Selfie with Bill Clinton, Skips His Awkward Ebola ResponseOn Tuesday’s CBS This Morning, co-anchor Gayle King was charmed by Democratic Senate candidate Mark Pryor’s selfie with Bill Clinton as she effused: “Everybody likes a selfie.” However King, nor anyone else at CBS, has yet to report on the Arkansas Senator’s response to a basic question about ebola that was so bad it went viral and even caused MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski to shout: “Stop it!” four times before she ridiculed: “A sweet, little, nice, gentle question, and the guy just collapsed!” http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/cbs-highlights-mark-pryors-selfie-bill-clinton-skips-his-awkward-ebola-response |
3. Charlie Rose Scolds Panetta: Shouldn’t You Wait Until Obama’s Out of Office to Criticize Him?In an interview aired on Wednesday’s CBS This Morning, co-host Charlie Rose lectured former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on criticizing President Obama in a new memoir: “There are those who say, you know, he appointed you to two of the highest positions that this country has to offer, just wait until he’s out of office before criticizing.” Immediately following the clip of the exchange, fellow This Morning co-host Gayle King praised Rose: “I loved your last question because some people would say, what about loyalty to the President? The question that you raised. Interesting time for that book to come out now.” http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/charlie-rose-scolds-panetta-shouldnt-you-wait-until-obamas-out-office-criticize-him |
4. CBS Hypes Facebook Criticism of GOP Campaign Ad: ‘Sick, Pathetic, And Disgusting’Following a Tuesday night report in which the CBS Evening News blasted GOP campaign ads on ISIS, Wednesday’s CBS This Morning went even further in playing up the supposed outrage at a GOP congressional candidate’s campaign ad. CBS reporter Nancy Cordes pushed how Republican congressional candidate Wendy Rogers ran “the first ad to show an ISIS captive and reaction was swift. On Arizona Republican Wendy Rogers’ Facebook page one person wrote “you have disrespected James Foley’s parents and his memory.” The other called the ad “sick, pathetic, and disgusting.”’ http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/cbs-hypes-facebook-criticism-gop-campaign-ad-sick-pathetic-and-disgusting |
5. John Heilemann: Clinton’s Hands Are ‘Like the Paintbrushes of Picasso’
John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, authors of the controversial 2008 campaign book Game Change, have a new show on Bloomberg called With All Due Respect and the two liberal journalists seem to be using their platform to continue the media fawning over President Bill Clinton. On their Tuesday show, the two hosts gushed over a campaign speech Clinton gave on behalf of Arkansas Democratic Senator Mark Pryor and Heilemann proclaimed of Clinton’s hands: “They’re like the paintbrushes of Picasso. He just uses them as an artistic expression mode.” http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/john-heilemann-clintons-hands-are-paintbrushes-picasso
