CBS News Relinquishes Last of Its Credibility

Compared to the obsequious treatment Kamala Harris received from beta male establishment apparatchiks like Howard Stern and Stephen Colbert, her 60 Minutes interview almost seemed like real journalism. But initial appearances can be deceptive, particularly when we are dealing with professional propagandists:

Harris was mocked by conservatives when footage of her offering a lengthy “word salad” that was aired by CBS on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” to promote the “60 Minutes” sit-down, when Bill Whitaker asked why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the United States. However, the vice president’s lengthy answer didn’t make the version that aired on Monday night on “60 Minutes” and a shorter, more focused answer to the same question was shown instead.

That is, CBS News replaced what Cackala said with what it would have been more politically advantageous for her to have said.

“Well Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,” Harris responded in the “Face the Nation” version.

Classic Kamalese. Only the most unhinged moonbats would want someone that scatterbrained in the White House.

Sometimes interviews are edited to save time, but when CBS aired the interview on Monday night, Harris had a different answer to the exact same question.

Imagine if Donald Trump consented to an interview with these clowns. Given the level of seriousness at CBS News, they might use AI to change Trump’s answer to an unrelated question into an announcement that he would team up with Vladimir Putin to give wedgies to transgender orphans of color.

Journalism is not allowed at the Democratic Party affiliate CBS News, as Tony Dokoupil found out the hard way:

On Monday, CBS News executives Wendy McMahon and Adrienne Roark held a conference call with employees to address internal concern about a Sept. 30 on-air interview with the racial polemicist Ta-Nehisi Coates. Based on the gloomy tenor of the discussion, which was leaked to the Free Press and other outlets, some network employees felt that “CBS Mornings” co-anchor Tony Dokoupil had been unfair to Mr. Coates, who is on a press tour promoting his new book, “The Message.”

During the segment Mr. Dokoupil, who is Jewish, challenged Mr. Coates’s characterization of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Judge for yourself if the deferential Dokoupil was out of line for pointing out that Coates only gives the anti-Israel side of the story:

CBS News employees were triggered that Dokoupil would issue even the mildest challenge to a leftist kook like Coates. Reportedly, this literally reduced the infantile moonbats who produce the crapola we are expected to regard as “the news” to tears.

Roark assured her colleagues that a strong rebuke had been delivered to Mr. Dokoupil—he was reportedly upbraided for his tone and body language during the interview—and apologized that it had taken a week to convene the call, which took place exactly a year after Hamas’s barbaric attack on Israelis.

Dokoupil was forced to issue an apology to his coworkers for exposing them to journalism:

Dokoupil told colleagues on Tuesday that he “regretted” the position he’d put them in.

The suspicions of those who were alarmed by CBS moderators’ ham-fisted partisanship during the VP debate have been confirmed. Given its level of ideological fanaticism, nothing presented by CBS News should be taken at face value as legitimate information.
