CBS Evening News is such a putz:
NEWSBUSTERS – The CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley on Monday trashed demonstrators in Germany for protesting against Islamic extremism, proclaiming they possessed an “anti-Muslim prejudice” that’s “on the rise in Europe.”
Reporting from Dresden, Germany, CBS News senior foreign correspondent Mark Phillips stated that the demonstrators chanted “we are the people” not to bring attention to “a society being united” but rather as “a chant of exclusion.”
Referring to protesters as “anti-immigrant,” Phillips summarized the 25,000 participants as being “part of a movement protesting what they see as the threat to German culture from rising numbers of Muslim immigrants to their country.”
Phillips also chided them for continuing on with their protest this week and not respecting those who died in Paris last week: “There were calls for this demonstration to be canceled. Passions were running too high it was said, and out of deference to the victims in Paris, but it went ahead anyway, and it was big.”
