The Worst of CBS’s 60 Minutes (Bastion of Lies)
Posted by freedomforall 17 hours, 51 minutes ago to News
Excerpt:
"Ever since his firing from 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley has been on a personal press tour, bellyaching about CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss wrecking - in his belief - one of the last bastions of truth in the news media.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
From the infamous Rathergate - where former CBS News anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes used forged documents in a hit piece about President George W. Bush’s National Guard Service to correspondent Lesley Stahl dismissing President Donald Trump on Hunter Biden’s laptop – even editing out his responses – the long-running show has abandoned journalistic ethics when it comes to covering conservatives and Republicans.
On the flipside, it’s run cover and offered softball coverage for Democrats like President Barack Obama, both Bill and Hillary Clinton, and used deceptive editing tactics to cover up former Vice President Kamala Harris’s gaffes.
NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham put it best in this 2024 column: “Nobody in TV news has been more overpraised than 60 Minutes. This horde of urbane leftist snobs has concocted syrupy minutes for Democrats (especially Barack Obama) and salty minutes for Republicans (especially Trump).”"
