CBS Defends Ben Affleck Following Battle With Maher Over Radical Islam

On Friday night, Ben Affleck appeared on Real Time w/ Bill Maher and was engaged in a heated debate with fellow liberal Bill Maher over radical Islam’s influence on the Muslim world. Following the highly contentious fight, Monday’s CBS This Morning did its best to jump to Affleck’s defense, portraying him as a well-respected liberal who “is known not only as an actor and Oscar-winning producer but also as the founder of the Eastern Congo Initiative, promoting the area’s economic and social development.” Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters.
