The major broadcast networks continued their defense on Wednesday night of the Iranian nuclear arms agreement and specifically President Obama’s press conference from hours before, ruling that the President was “on offense” in providing “a spirited defense” of the “history-making deal.” 

On NBC Nightly News, senior White House correspondent Chris Jansing reported on the press conference and, not surprisingly, provided favorable coverage for the Obama administration. Portraying the debate as “intense” with Obama “on offense,” Jansing gushed that he went “point by point today” in “answer[ing] critics who say the agreement makes the world less safe.”
