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.
Hillary Clinton on Trump's increasing unhinged posts: "I read those like I think I hope the majority of Americans -- both shaking my head, and really just feeling sick at heart that we have a president who is such a disgrace."
Reporter: Why did you attack Pope Leo?
Trump: I don’t think he’s doing a very good job. He likes crime I guess. We don’t like a pope who says it’s ok to have a nuclear weapon. We don’t want a pope that says crime is ok. I am not a fan of Pope Leo.
��To splice together movie cuts with actual bombing and targeting of people for the purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are,” says Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago, criticizing what he calls the White House’s “gamification” of the war on social media. https://t.co/ri8jJSkB5O
All because Republicans blocked a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA, U.S. Coast Guard and countless other agencies.
Republicans control all 3 branches of government. They own this problem.
🚨BOMBSHELL: Texas Rep. Chip Roy goes nuclear on lawmakers: “At some point, people will look at this body and say maybe we should get rid of all 435 members of the House and all 100 members of the Senate and start over because Congress is literally failing the American people.”
Holy shit! Mike Johnson was caught on a hot mic admitting that Trump's SAVE Act is all about voter suppression —admitting that nearly 20% of all current registered voters would not be able to vote. This is what tyranny in fascist authoritarian countries looks like y'all. 😡😡😡👇
BBC confirms the US is responsible for the Minab school massacre that killed 175 people, mostly girls. The "advanced" AI targeting system used outdated coordinates to hit a base next door, ignoring satellite images showing kids playing in the courtyard. Absolute war crime.
This American teenager gets it:
“We don’t have money for universal healthcare or to make sure kids don’t go hungry in this country, but apparently we have $11.3 billion fucking dollars to burn in 7 days to start a war nobody ask for to bomb innocent school children, twice.”
I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights.
What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.
De Niro: It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent—no one, no one voted for new wars. No one voted for higher prices at the pump. No one voted for higher prices in grocery stores. No one voted for higher prices in the housing market. No one voted for deporting our good neighbors, and no one voted for government-masked thugs shooting down our citizens in the streets.
In 18 days, Trump has burned $24 BILLION on his Iran War. That’s enough to eliminate the maintenance backlog in our national parks & public lands—paving roads, fixing bridges, & improving water systems.
He’s burning billions overseas while neglecting America’s infrastructure.
WATCH: In a blistering rebuttal to Trump’s “insulting Jesus” claim, James Talarico responds, “You know what insults Jesus? Bombing schoolchildren… covering up the Epstein files.”
Angus King: Twice in the last two weeks, Senator Patty Murray put a bill on the floor that would have fully funded TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard for the rest of the year. Inexplicably to me, that bill was blocked by my Republican colleagues.
