BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.
According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.
Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.
Then came the admission.
"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."
A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.
That's a remarkable accusation.
Trump walking out on Kristen Welker today reminded me of his 60 Minutes interview with Lesley Stahl in 2020. Different interviewer, same result: when he can’t control the narrative, he walks out like the petulant man-child he is. Fucking snowflake.
It’s genuinely wild to see how ignorant @billmaher still is on this topic. He has fully swallowed the Trump/Netanyahu line on Iran, and seems genuinely shocked to hear the truth: Bibi was against the Iran deal BECAUSE it was working.
He and his allies wanted war, not peace.
