[More in the cross-post on the MRC's NewsBusters blog.]

CNN's Carol Costello badgered Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat on the 9 March 2015 edition of CNN Newsroom over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress. Costello played up how "some say the relationship between Israel and the United States has become partisan for the first time ever," and asked Mayor Barkat if he agreed. The anchor later asked her guest, "Couldn't you argue that Benjamin Netanyahu is being used by the Republicans in the American Congress?"
