All three broadcast networks reported on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress with segments in their Tuesday night broadcasts, but it was CBS and NBC that led the way in the bias department by hitting Netanyahu for making a “controversial speech” and touted President Obama for “firing back,” “point by point for 11 minutes.”

CBS Evening News substitute anchor Charlie Rose began the show’s coverage by telling viewers that “Netanyahu did an end run around President Obama today” in his speech with the caption “controversial speech” appearing beside him.
