Former CBS News investigative reporter @SharylAttkisson tells me she's shocked it took 60 Minutes this long to fire Scott Pelley:
"Scott Pelley was not a popular anchor in terms of his skill as an anchor as well as his personality... Quite a while before they removed him, I was told by a level above David Rhodes that they were trying to fix what they call 'The Scott Pelley Problem.'
One of the issues they had with him was, as it was told to me, he takes his managing editor role too seriously. He was interfering with the correspondents’ stories in a way that was not productive. Longtime CBS names that you would recognize were complaining to the high executives.
My experience was, when they named him, I was told by higher-ups that this new show without Katie Couric, with Scott Pelley, is gonna be all about what YOU do, your investigative reporting… And the very first week, the very first investigative piece, one of the best ones I think I ever did that I offered them, HE censored. Never aired. That was the pattern and the story, for me at least, of Scott Pelley at the anchor desk."
FAILED: The motion to attach the SAVE America Act to the budget reconciliation bill fails.

@LAudrey75@willchamberlain@RepJudyChu No, actually not. The SCOTUS refused to hear Texas v. Pennsylvania, citing "lack of standing". I am an American citizen, I had to live under the Auto-Pen administration, how do I lack standing?
Did you hear what The View's Sunny Hostin just said? She called Maine's Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner "a cheater, an antisemite, a liar, a racist, and a homophobe."
Then she paused and said something very telling: “BUT...” the Democrats need "to win that seat in Maine" to stop Trump.
This once again proves that the Left has no moral code and will do anything to seize back power.
Here's something we all need to remember: Everything before you say “but” is what you actually believe. Everything after is what you’re willing to trade it for.
The Left is willing to trade exactly what they’ve been claiming to fight just to regain a little bit of power. All the harping about racism, sexism, and homophobia means nothing if they’ll compromise their beliefs for 'the collective good.'
