[See NewsBusters for more.] The networks on Monday night and Tuesday morning minimized Barack Obama's casual dismissal of the idea that any nuclear deal with Iran include an acknowledgment of Israel's right to exist. On Good Morning America, Amy Robach quickly touted the President's rejection: "[Obama] is not buying Israel's latest demand concerning the nuclear deal with Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says any nuclear deal must require Iran to recognize Israel."
Citing an interview with NPR, CBS This Morning co-host Norah O'Donnell parroted, "President Obama said that is unrealistic to expect Iran to suddenly transform its regime and recognize Israel. He calls it a fundamental misjudgment."
