During a report on Thursday’s CBS This Morning about President Obama’s trip to Japan, correspondent Margaret Brennan noted: “Tomorrow, President Obama will make an historic trip to Hiroshima, a city that the U.S. devastated during World War II with the very first atomic bomb....he wants to underscore the risks still posed by nuclear weapons.”
At the top of the 8 a.m. ET hour, the morning show aired a portion of an interview Brennan conducted with U.S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy. During the exchange, Brennan pressed Kennedy on the President’s refusal to apologize for the bombing: “What do you think the reception is going to be to have an American president going to the site of the first nuclear bomb drop and not apologizing?”
