CBS does bidding for Democrats, claims Bush speech was "attack on Obama"

The mainstream media's treatment of President's Bush's speech at the Knesset is astonishing. CBS News bought into the Dem talking points and reported them as fact. Look at the screenshot from Thursday's evening news broadcast: the segment is billed as "Attacking Obama." Newsbusters:
CBS anchor Katie Couric, referring to Bush and John McCain, cited “a two-pronged Republican attack today on Barack Obama on a key foreign policy matter.” Reporter Chip Reid saw a “Republican barrage” which “began in Jerusalem today where President Bush appeared to be taking aim at Barack Obama.” Reid soon passed along how “Obama, who has said he would meet with leaders of Iran, Syria, and Cuba, noted that Presidents Kennedy, Nixon, and even Reagan also negotiated directly with America's enemies.”
