In lieu of a story on the 2016 election, Saturday's CBS Evening News featured a full report promoting the United Kingdom's travel advisory for Mississippi and North Carolina in light of religious liberty laws and gushing over President Barack Obama's town hall in London that featured "an emotional statement of personal identity" from a transgender person.

Tossing to foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan, Saturday anchor Jim Axelrod explained: "President Obama travels to Germany tomorrow, the final stop on his three-nation tour. In London today, he took part in a youth town hall meeting where he heard an emotional statement of personal identity."
