The Oceans Rise at CBS as Hosts Gush Over Gore

[See NewsBusters for more.] You know it’s a bad sign when the comedy host is a tougher “journalist” than the actual reporters. But that’s what played out as The Daily Show and CBS This Morning both featured interviews with Al Gore. The ex-Vice President is promoting his new climate change documentary and endured this softball from CBS’s Charlie Rose on Wednesday: “So, tell me, in ten years, what has changed that alarms you?” As for climate skeptics and those who think solving the problem isn’t worth the financial cost, Rose offered this easy query: “What is it that drives the opposition, you believe?” The journalist even helped Gore with talking points. Highlighting EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, the journalist scolded, “... The EPA has people who have been opposed to the EPA running it.”
