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.
🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: Mike Johnson PANICS after a recorded conversation is released exposing the House Republican plan to CUT Medicaid, Medicare, AND social security for millions of Americans.
They denied it. The recording just blew up the entire lie. EVERY American should see this.
(2) they accused the police of being dirty cops. The brave police! Please do not let this horrendous appointment happen. You know it’s wrong to blame the police, and pay their attackers who many, pled guilty. Please do the right thing.
@SenThomTillis (1) please do not rubber stamp Blanche. Aside from the huge conflict of interest, him being the personal lawyer who is still trying to protect him and not the Constitution, they had the audacity to say that they need the slush fund for people who attacked police.
Trump says pilots are fine after US helicopter crashes near Strait of Hormuz - it’s time to get Congressional approval for this war, or get out. https://t.co/miYgh1FX8P
Talarico lands endorsement from lawyer who defended Paxton in impeachment, securities fraud cases - WOW! That says a lot right there. https://t.co/60KNalfMfL
It’s ok to be concerned about immigration. What’s NOT ok is him continuing to break laws, and the Constitution to run the country on your own agenda. https://t.co/cMpKYY3PJh
'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' 'Ted Lasso' Actor Anthony Head Dead at 72 - So sorry to see this. Condolences to his children, other family and friends. Loved his work. https://t.co/nKddiz8MF8
Adriana Camberos stole millions in TWO fraud cases: first, fake energy drinks, then a $58M food import scam.
She owed $49M to victims. Trump pardoned her BOTH times. Why? Her brother gave Trump $50K.
This is corruption, not justice...!

BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just got the House Armed Services Committee UNANIMOUSLY to force Pete Hegseth to explain every senior military firing within the next 5 days. Hegseth has fired 24+ officers without cause or explanation. Even Republicans want answers.
@trinikingz2@Avabelly__ That McDonalds worker is not repeatedly coming to your table to offer a “group” of people all the additional services, refills, special requests that they ask for. NOT the same.
@amberdolatowski@Avabelly__ While not mandatory, that tip on a $500 bill is an insult, and just makes them think they did a poor job, undeserving of the standard amount.
Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: "If we have a big screwworm infestation—which we will not, we're on top of it..."
The screwworm has returned to the US after 60 years after Trump and DOGE eliminated a program to contain the flesh-eating parasite.
Trump promised not to “touch” Medicaid.
Now he is cutting it by $1 trillion and taking health care away from patients with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases to pay for tax breaks to the top 1% and his wealthy campaign contributors.
Unimaginable cruelty.
