CBS’s Nancy Cordes Uncritically Quotes Iran’s Supreme Leader (NewsBusters)

On Thursday's CBS This Morning, reporter Nancy Cordes concluded a fairly balanced report over the battle between members of Congress and the White House surrounding nuclear negotiations with Iran by uncritically quoting the Supreme Leader of Iran slamming the GOP letter to his country as “ridiculous, disgusting, and gross.” 

Co-host Charlie Rose introduced Cordes’ report by highlighting how “[l]awmakers still have no common ground this morning on nuclear negotiations with Iran. Secretary of State John Kerry yesterday sat through a fiery hearing on Capitol Hill.”
