Fired CBS News Reporter Reveals Photos of Files on Hunter Biden, COVID Origins Seized by Network: ‘Attack on Investigative Journalism’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Fired CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge posted photos of the confidential files seized by the network — which “included sensitive reporting about COVID-19 origins and Hunter Biden.”

The award-winning investigative journalist — who was dismissed last February as part of wider layoffs by embattled parent company Parent Global — stirred a firestorm in her bid to regain the materials before the network gave back the items weeks later.

“Exactly one year ago, @CBSNews returned my investigative reporting files,” Herridge wrote on X on Wednesday.

“Today, I am releasing photos of the records for the first time so you can see the sheer volume involved.”

One photo showed stacks of folders next to a Home Depot-labeled box.

Herridge wrote that the material encompassed four large moving boxes weighing over 100 pounds in total that were seized by the network. (Read more from “Fired CBS News Reporter Reveals Photos of Files on Hunter Biden, COVID Origins Seized by Network: ‘Attack on Investigative Journalism’” HERE)

CBS News: Free Speech Caused The Holocaust

/1 Comment/in , /by

CBS News’ Margaret Brennan claimed Sunday that free speech was to blame for the Holocaust.

During an interview with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Brennan spun a wild theory that free speech in Germany paved the way for the Holocaust, arguing that Vice President J.D. Vance’s criticisms of European attacks on free speech were problematic because, according to Brennan, free speech was “weaponized” in Nazi Germany.

“Well, [Vance] was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups,” Brennan said. “The context of that was changing the tone of it. And you know that, the censorship was specifically about the right.”

Brennan’s assertion was not only historically inaccurate, but outright offensive to the millions who were murdered at the hands of the Nazi party.

But suppose Brennan was correct in her claim that free speech caused the Holocaust. Then, as The Federalist CEO and co-founder Sean Davis said in a post on X: “That means Trump needs to shut down CBS to prevent another Holocaust.”

Winning: Trump Job Approval Highest Ever in CBS Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

Far-left CBS News got some bad news from its latest poll. Currently, 53 percent of the public approves of the job President Donald Trump’s doing and 59 percent approve of his deportation of illegal aliens.

What’s most fascinating about this particular poll is that it’s not a poll of voters. Rather, it’s a poll of 2,175 U.S. adults. The GOP tends to poll better with tighter screening for registered voters and likely voters. There is nothing wrong with an “adults” poll, but knowing the fake news artists at CBS News, it’s not unreasonable to assume they asked for an “adults” poll hoping these numbers would be lower. . .

Here are the most intriguing findings…

Currently, 53 percent of the job Trump is doing as president while only 47 percent disapprove.

An obviously unhappy Margaret Brennan told her Face the Nation audience Sunday that this was the best showing for Trump ever in the CBS News poll… (Read more from “Winning: Trump Job Approval Highest Ever in CBS Poll” HERE)

FCC Considers Revoking CBS License Over Kamala Harris’ ’60 Minutes’ Interview Controversy

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is reportedly considering revoking CBS’s broadcast license after the network aired a controversial interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris on “60 Minutes.” The interview sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability after the network aired a misleading version, including highly distorted answers from Harris’ responses. According to a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump, CBS violated state law by demonstrating deceptive acts in business conduct and “doctored” a “word salad” response from the failed Democrat presidential candidate about the Biden administration’s involvement in the Israel-Hamas war. The FCC’s review stems from concerns that the interview may have violated broadcasting standards, prompting scrutiny over whether CBS acted in the public interest.

In the past two weeks, FCC Chair Brendan Carr launched investigations into three news outlets and reinstated complaints against three others, including NBC and ABC. The complaint against ABC received a “news distortion” complaint over its fact-checking by the moderators in the presidential debate between Harris and Trump that heavily favored Harris. Meanwhile, the complaint against NBC claimed that Harris’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” which aired just weeks before the election, violated “equal time” rules governing political programming.

Former FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democrat, dismissed any probe into the interview, saying the complaints “seek to weaponize the licensing authority of the FCC in a way that is fundamentally at odds with the First Amendment.”

However, Carr said he doesn’t “see how the FCC can reasonably adjudicate this claim of news distortion without seeing what was actually said.” (Read more from “FCC Considers Revoking CBS License Over Kamala Harris’ ’60 Minutes’ Interview Controversy” HERE)

CBS News Journalist Says Most Underreported 2024 Story Was Biden’s ‘Obvious Cognitive Decline’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump over the summer.

Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from “Face the Nation” moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story in 2024.

“Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the Sunday morning show.

She then noted recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal that detailed how White House aides covered up Biden’s mental decline over the past four years.

The explosive report says staffers formed a tight circle around the 82-year-old Democrat to limit his in-person interactions. (Read more from “CBS News Journalist Says Most Underreported 2024 Story Was Biden’s ‘Obvious Cognitive Decline’” HERE)

Fired CBS Reporter Reveals How Network Killed Hunter Biden Story: ‘I Felt Sick’

/0 Comments/in , /by

CBS News went to great lengths to squash correspondent Catherine Herridge’s reporting about the Hunter Biden laptop just weeks before the 2020 election, the award-winning investigative journalist claimed.

In her bombshell allegation, Herridge revealed she brought evidence to CBS News executive Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell in early October 2020 that the laptop contained material about “a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm,” along with business texts and emails from the son of Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

But later that month, Herridge wrote that she was shocked to see “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl say the laptop “couldn’t be verified” during a tense interview with then-President Donald Trump.

“As I watched the broadcast, I felt sick,” Herridge, who was controversially fired by the Tiffany Network in February, wrote Sunday night in her recently launched newsletter.

“I knew the laptop records could be vetted and confirmed.” (Read more from “Fired CBS Reporter Reveals How Network Killed Hunter Biden Story: ‘I Felt Sick’” HERE)

Trump Teases a Lawsuit Over That ‘60 Minutes’ Transcript

/0 Comments/in , /by

CBS News continues to find themselves embroiled in scandal after refusing to release the transcript of their edited “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris from earlier this month. While the network put out a statement on Sunday, that’s hardly the end of the story. As Fox News reported on Monday night, the Trump-Vance campaign is still looking for answers, and may even turn to a lawsuit as a result.

The Fox News report mentioned key sections of the letter from Edward Andrew Paltzik, legal counsel for Donald Trump:

In a copy of the letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Trump’s legal counsel Edward Andrew Paltzik, writing on behalf of Trump, said that CBS News “intentionally misled the public by broadcasting a skillfully edited interview transcript… aimed at causing confusion among the electorate regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’s abilities, intelligence, and appeal.”

“News organizations such as CBS have a responsibility to accurately represent the truth of events, not distort an interview to try and make their preferred candidate appear coherent and decisive, which Harris most certainly is not,” the attorney wrote. “Due to CBS’ actions, the public cannot distinguish which Kamala Harris they are seeing: the candidate or the puppet of a behind-the-scenes editor.”

…

“President Trump is rightly alleging that CBS’s ‘doctoring’ of Harris’s answers on 60 Minutes was deceptive. The allegation is not simply that CBS was dishonest; it is that CBS deceived viewers into thinking Harris’ answer was, at the very least—as CBS put it—more ‘succinct’ than the word salad it actually was,” Paltzik wrote. “The executives and producers at CBS, and 60 Minutes in particular, are unquestionably aware that the purpose behind editing the Interview was to confuse the electorate and portray the Vice President in a better light than a full, unedited transcript would reveal. Responsible news sources must be held accountable to the highest standards.”

CBS News, Release the Full Kamala Harris Interview Transcript Now

/0 Comments/in , /by

CBS News was once one of the defining news outlets in the world. Whether it was Edward R. Murrow reporting live from London during the Blitz in World War II or Walter Cronkite’s coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, generations of Americans turned to CBS for fair, accurate reporting on the most important issues of the day.

No longer.

CBS News now stands accused of deliberately distorting its news coverage for nakedly political purposes, to prop up Kamala Harris’ flailing presidential campaign by attempting to hide her inability to answer even simple questions about her policy positions and how she would act if elected president.

How badly skewed was CBS’s coverage of its interview with Harris, broadcast to the world on “Face the Nation” and “60 Minutes?” Well, last week, the nonprofit group Center for American Rights (CAR) filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission alleging deliberate news distortion, a violation of FCC regulations and a half-century of precedent.

In this complaint, CAR lawyer Daniel Suhr contends that the evidence of illegal news distortion by CBS could not be clearer: In two different news programs, CBS broadcast the same question, followed by two very different answers from Harris, resulting in a situation where “the general public no longer has any confidence as to what the Vice President actually said in response to the query.” This goes well beyond mere editorial oversight of an interview — picking what to include and what not to include — and instead constitutes a violation of the public trust that the news material CBS presented was in any way factual.

How Does Tim Walz Explain His Stolen Valor Controversy? CBS Moderators Didn’t Bother Asking

/0 Comments/in , /by

To nobody’s surprise, CBS News’ hack-tivist debate moderators allowed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s myriad lies about his military service to go unaddressed during Tuesday’s 2024 vice-presidential debate.

While finding time to ask dishonest questions about baby-killing and Jan. 6, neither Norah O’Donnell nor Margaret Brennan bothered to ask Walz about how he regularly inflated his rank and lied about details surrounding his time in the Army National Guard to boost his political career.

For example, on numerous occasions the Minnesota Democrat portrayed himself as a retired command sergeant major. While it’s true that Walz was promoted to command sergeant major during the waning years of his service, he did not complete the minimum number of years required to retain the rank when he abandoned his unit before it deployed to Iraq and is actually a lesser-ranked master sergeant.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate has also falsified the circumstances of his overseas deployment. Speaking about gun violence at a campaign event in 2018, Walz said, “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.”

The problem? Walz never carried so-called “weapons of war” in a combat zone because he was never deployed to one. As The Federalist’s Matt Kittle noted, his Guard unit “was called up early in the war in Iraq — to Italy.” (Read more from “How Does Tim Walz Explain His Stolen Valor Controversy?
