[See NewsBusters for more.] All three morning shows on Friday highlighted Barack Obama’s trip to Britain. However, only CBS saw it as “very controversial” and explained why one prominent British leader is calling the President a “bully.” ABC ignored the fact that Obama is in the country to lobby Britons to stay in the European Union. NBC noted that fact that the Commander in Chief wrote an op-ed lecturing another country on an important decision, but the network didn’t find it divisive. On CBS This Morning, however, Norah O’Donnell insisted that Obama “He arrived with a message that some British politicians say he should have left at home.” Reporter Margaret Brennan added, “The official reason for the visit by the President and First Lady is lunch with the queen to celebrate her 90th birthday. But the timing is very controversial.”
