[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning journalist Nancy Cordes on Tuesday parroted White House spin on Benjamin Netanyahu's address before Congress. The reporter repeated that the President "said the speech creates the appearance of a political endorsement for Netanyahu, who is up for reelection later this month."  She then featured a clip of Barack Obama noting that the Israeli Prime Minister is up for reelection a few weeks. Obama insisted, "It makes it look like we are taking sides." Cordes left out the fact that a top Obama operative has taken sides. Jeremy Bird, the President's 2012 national field director, is over in Israel trying to defeat Netanyahu.
