CBS Sympathizes With Administration VA Scandal: Is It 'Fair' to Call for Shinseki's Resignation?

[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose scored an exclusive interview with Chuck Hagel on Friday. But rather than grill the Secretary of Defense on the latest details of the Veterans Affairs scandal, the journalist repeated talking points and wondered about "fairness" for a top Obama official. Rose began by noting that there is "quite a concern" over the growing controversy and that some "argue that we need to know the facts." Talking to Hagel, the host then wondered, "Some in your party are calling for the head of the Veterans Affairs department to resign, General Shinseki. Is it fair to ask for his resignation?"
