CBS Laments How Some ‘Politicized’ Non-Controversial Planned Parenthood

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning co-hosts on Monday fawned over the new president of Planned Parenthood, cheering “yay!” that she appeared on the show. The hosts also lamented that the organization, responsible for three million abortions, had been “politicized.” The journalists allowed Dr. Leana Wen to repeat the mostly bogus claim that the abortion provider offers “cancer screenings.” Democratic donor/co-host Gayle King wondered if Wen had “trepidation” about taking a job that has been politicized: “Did you have any trepidation? You're a mother of a 14-month-old baby, Elijah. You're still a practicing emergency room physician. It is now become such a politicized and such a controversial job, did you have any trepidation about taking it?”
