[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning’s Gayle King on Tuesday labeled Donald Trump a “climate change denier,” using the loaded term in a story on Al Gore visiting with the President-elect. All three networks promoted the global warming activist’s meeting, but it was co-host King who lectured, “President-elect Trump is on the record as a climate change denier. But a meeting with former Vice President Al Gore suggests that he's thinking about the issue.” She added, “During the campaign, Gore said Trump's position could lead to a climate catastrophe.” Use of the term “denier” is controversial and something that some outlets don’t do. The Associate Press uses "doubters" instead.
