CBS Highlights How Capture of Sailors Looks Like Obama Administration Fail

[See NewsBusters for more.] Despite dramatic video of U.S. sailors with guns near their heads, the journalists at NBC and ABC failed to question the incident's handling by the Obama administration. Only CBS This Morning’s David Martin contrasted, “Although administration officials publicly described it as a rescue at sea, video released by Iran made it look like the American sailors had been captured.” He added, “That seemed at odds with Secretary of State Kerry's praise for how the Iranians handled the incident.” CBS offered a full report on the subject. NBC’s Today allowed a mere 38 seconds, despite a four hour-run time. Matt Lauer highlighted how “dramatic new video aired on Iran-state television of the moment ten U.S. Sailors were captured in the Persian Gulf this week.”
