Continuing their not-so-veiled attempt at over-compensating in favor of Palestinians, CBS used Thursday’s CBS Evening News and Friday’s CBS Mornings to kvetch about President-Elect Trump selecting former Arkansas Governor and two-time GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee as his choice for U.S. Ambassador to Israel.

CBS Mornings Plus co-host Adriana Diaz had the lead-in, making it seem as though the U.S. Ambassador could unilaterally implement policy:

In the Middle East, there is new attention on the future of the Israeli-occupied West Bank amid signs the new Trump administration may not push back on Israel if it tries to annex that entire territory. Most international groups say the West Bank should belong to Palestinians but Trump’s pick to be U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, disagrees.
