[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning on Tuesday promoted anti-vaccine activists, highlighting their outrage over the Surgeon General appearing in a Sesame Street segment with Elmo to encourage childhood vaccinations. Co-host Gayle King huffed, "Vaccine critics don't see anything cute about this video after the controversy over of the measles outbreak." Citing the National Vaccine Information Center [NVIC], a group that still promotes the debunked notion of a connection between autism and vaccinations, King alerted that the organization "tells CBS This Morning, quote, 'It is inappropriate for the federal government to market pharmaceutical products directly to children who have no concept of the risk.'"
