Dr. Leana Wen took over the top spot of Planned Parenthood today, and she was welcomed with a softball interview on CBS Ths Morning:
Every day, Planned Parenthood workers serve more than 8,000 people in more than 600 clinics across the country. Beginning today, @DrLeanaWen takes over as @PPFA's new president.
She was previously Baltimore's health commissioner, and she's here only on @cbthismorning. pic.twitter.com/8xs2y4rj40

"When we first came to this country, my mother didn't have healthcare anywhere else and Planned Parenthood was there for her just as it's there for women across the country…we do more to prevent unintended pregnancies every year than any other organization," says @DrLeanaWen pic.twitter.com/71tTYk1P5C

"What I want to do is to shape the future for my son Eli. It's a future where all people are treated the same, all people have the right to healthcare, a society where we trust women and all people to make the best decisions for themselves and their bodies,"–@PPFA's @DrLeanaWen pic.twitter.com/QvoauQspj8

"I can't believe it's 2018 and we're still debating birth control. Imagine if we're having the same conversation about vasectomies or about insulin. Women's healthcare is healthcare and healthcare shouldn't be political" says @PPFA's new president @DrLeanaWen pic.twitter.com/VNpAnCjSSK

And of course Wen’s touting of PP’s “life-saving care” wasn’t followed up on at all, and many were disgusted by it:
.@CBS “This Morning” is currently giving a total softball interview to Leana Wen, the woman who’s officially starting today as the president of Planned Parenthood.

When CBS allows Planned Parenthood to talk about their "lifesaving work," it's time to pack it up. This is not CBS News. This is CBS Publicity. https://t.co/ZOArDAdnrp

This whole segment was disgusting. The glee with which you all cheer the “health care” of women which means abortions performed is gruesome.

This is disgusting, the glowing love in they show this person without even a hint of critical analysis at what this organization does or where she came from/did. https://t.co/7kJMcZdCDM

Disgusting that @CBSThisMorning is treating a genocidal maniac business like a healthcare organization and allowing its ringleader to lie to the American public without challenging her. Absolutely disgusting. https://t.co/UG1YBVZCE7

This is the kind of “journalism” that we’ve come to expect from the MSM when it comes to Planned Parenthood:
“I respect everyone’s beliefs for them. My problem is when they impose their beliefs on other people,” Wen says, seconds after criticizing the Trump admin for allowing religious employers an exemption from the contraception mandate.

The new president of Planned Parenthood just finished an interview on @CBS in which sh did not say the word “abortion” a single time. PP performs more than 300K+ abortions every year, making it the largest abortion provider in the U.S. by far.

After watching this interview it’s even more apparent why so many people have no idea that Planned Parenthood provides so many abortions. The media is 100% in bed with these people. An entire panel of “journalists” handled the PP president with kid gloves.

Under its new leadership, Planned Parenthood intends to continue convincing Americans that the group has nothing to do with abortion. My @NRO write-up of CBS’s interview with incoming PP president Leana Wen this morning: https://t.co/OcAUqKst07

And yet the MSM is baffled why there’s such a high level of distrust in the media.
