When 60 Minutes is in trouble, we are all in trouble. When Pelley says CBS is meddling in his reporting for political reasons, believe it. https://t.co/lWpjdv1Unm

Jake Tapper is a washed up bum.

Gee whiz Ed, maybe that's the kind of thing the "Senior White House and Political Correspondent" for CBS News would want to do more digging into considering this isn't the first time a guy who basically lives in front of the camera has gone MIA for several days!

Of all the Fun Facts I've ever shared here, this one is the funnest.

Because it's TRUE. 😆

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

This is brutal.

A new Harvard/Harris poll shows Americans now say the economy was better under @JoeBiden by a +12 margin.

But among Independents?

Biden is up a massive +40.

The media spent years lying about Biden’s record while giving Trump endless free passes. Now Americans are living with the consequences, and they know the truth:

Joe Biden was a damn good president, and this country was stronger, safer, and better off under his leadership.

I spent 24 years wearing this nations uniform.

Do you know what nobody ever told me?

That if I worked hard enough and sacrificed enough, someday my military career could be decided by the political opinion of a Fox News pundit playing Defense Secretary.

Dear @ScottPelley

Thank you.

Thank you for standing up when it was inconvenient.

Thank you for standing up when it cost you a job you loved.

Thank you for standing up to power and for trying to save a landmark news program.

Thank you for your INTEGRITY.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Notice how simply quoting the Founding Fathers comes off as a swipe at Trump...

Almost like he's everything they warned us against.

DEAR DONALD,

HAPPY 99TH ANNIVERSARY TO YOUR DAD. HE HAD THE GUTS TO MARCH FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IN, THE KKK. HE MUST BE SO PROUD AS HE LOOKS UP AT YOU FROM HELL. EVERY DAD PASSES ON HIS GENES, BUT TO PASS ON GENES WITH LITTLE HOODS ON, NOW THAT'S SOMETHING TO WHITE HOME ABOUT.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

A message to all sane Republicans:

He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.

He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

On this day in 1927, Trump’s father Fred was arrested during a Ku Klux Klan rally in Queens, New York.

[Elissa Slotkin @ElissaSlotkin]

In December, President Trump called for me to be investigated, arrested, and hanged over a 90-second video that restated existing law.

My lawyer's advice was straightforward: go quiet. Keep your head down. This will blow over.

But in this administration, the reality is that keeping your head down does not keep you safe. Staying quiet when power comes after you does not make the threat go away. It just teaches the people making the threat that it works.

When a president can call for the arrest and execution of a sitting senator for quoting the law, and the expected response is silence, that's a problem that goes way beyond me. That affects every American who works in government, every journalist, every ordinary citizen who might speak up.

A grand jury of ordinary Americans looked at this situation and said no. They understood what was at stake, and I think most Americans do.

We refuse to accept that this is the new normal.

This moment isn't really about me. When the administration is willing to go after a senator this way, it sends a message to every American who might speak up. That should concern people in both parties.

If @edokeefe, the journalist who berated the Biden WH over his health and falsely accused officials of hiding a Parkinson’s diagnosis, can’t bring himself to criticize the obvious falsehoods about Trump in this report then who will?
