Let’s start with a premise. 60 Minutes is sh*t and has been for some time. Back in 2017 I said this about Scott Pelley:
The worst politically biased hack in the news today
Let’s look at the garbage they posted today and broadcast yesterday and then we’ll put it in perspective. They put Donald Trump in their crosshairs.
President Trump, back in the White House for less than a month, has closed agencies, frozen spending that Congress mandated by law, and challenged the breadth of rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
President Trump says USAID is rife with fraud. But Andrew Natsios, a Republican former administrator of USAID, calls that “utter nonsense.” Natsios says USAID is “the most accountable aid agency in the world.”
Really? From Donald Trump
That was just for starters on 60 Wasted Minutes.
JD Vance lamented the backsliding on free speech seen in Germany today and in trying to disprove it unwittingly validated his allegations.
60 Minutes trotted out two “victims of Trump” to whine about their plight of being fired from the USAID. But at least one wasn’t even an employee of USAID
Fact check : Kristina Drye wasn’t even USAID employee. she worked for XLA and Jefferson Partners that providied speechwriting services for USAID Administrator Samantha Power. pic.twitter.com/dKOrC5Nnma

And it turns out she has some baggage
60 Minutes aired an interview of 2 USAID Contractors last night—one was Kristina Drye—the same woman ABC interviewed who confessed to taking “incriminating books” with her after @DOGE entered the USAID building.
Strangely, Kristina Drye has deleted her X account. pic.twitter.com/rMBantPFMb

60 Minutes has never shown this kind of “empathy” for others who were sacrificed by Biden:
The 60,000 people who got cut loose when the Keystone XL pipeline extension was canceled after Biden took office know the feeling. Except they weren’t bureaucrats. They were skilled construction workers and engineers.
Nor for the people of North Carolina
60 Minutes has never done a special on the jobs lost from the floods in North Carolina and the devastation it caused those families but has the audacity to tell us to pity overpaid bureaucrats who got fired for doing the jobs taxpayers didn’t need them to do.

But if wondered why Margaret Brennan disintegrated and 60 Minutes went total propaganda, it’s because of this.
Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Thursday against CBS, demanding $10 billion in damages over the network’s “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The suit was immediately ridiculed by First Amendment attorneys, who called it “frivolous and dangerous.”
In the complaint filed in US District Court in the Northern District of Texas, Trump’s legal counsel claimed CBS’ “60 Minutes” interview with Harris and the associated programming were “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference” intended to “mislead the public and attempt to tip the scales” of the presidential election in her favor.
The lawsuit also says Trump is seeking for the network to “publicly release the full, unedited transcript of the [interview].”
After the release of the transcript, Trump has them by the short hairs and has jacked up his demands:
Paramount Global is wrestling with whether to settle President Trump’s lawsuit against its CBS News unit, and how it might do so without exposing executives to future legal threats, such as accusations of bribery.
Company executives in recent weeks have talked about the risk that paying such a settlement could expose directors and officers to liability in potential future shareholder litigation or criminal charges for bribing a public official, according to people familiar with the conversations. Some executives have expressed an additional concern that such litigation may not be protected by director and officer insurance, some of the people with knowledge of the discussions said.
Paramount is awaiting regulatory approval for its merger with Skydance Media. Some executives have flagged the potential risk that if the company settles and the deal is approved in short order, the payment could be construed as a bribe, the people familiar with the matter said.
Some executives involved in the merger see settling the lawsuit, which is focused on how CBS edited a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, as a way to alleviate tensions with the Trump administration, people close to them said. At Paramount, some executives oppose the settlement and the precedent it might establish.
CBS has been reduced to complete propagandism consequent to its losing battle against Trump.
And it’s glorious.Trump should bump the lawsuit to $30 billion.

EXC – The “nonpolitical” USAID employee @60Minutes used to attack Trump has a personal blog where she called Trump a “reincarnation of Mussolini and Hitler” and said she wanted to “eliminate” his supporters.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Yeah, you wouldn’t want being held accountable for being nothing but a propaganda organ of the DNC to catch on. It could be devastating.
Shades of Dan Rather…
Fake but accurate!
“If this was actually true, this is what it would look like.”
And let’s not forget the same dishonesty they tried to pull with DeSantis

Having read that last link, about the chick who “called Trump a “reincarnation of Mussolini and Hitler” and said she wanted to “eliminate” his supporters,” I am reminded of the meme from a Trump voter who wrote, “You say all I cared about was cheaper eggs, but I’d pay $10 an egg if along with it I could watch you cry like you’re doing now.”
So according to See B.S. News our Freedom of Speech and 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is to blame for the Holocaust? Typical for Leftists Propaganda from Deface the Nation
When exactly did operation Mockingbird end? IMO it continues like so many other zombie government brainfarts. 4.7 trillion, TRILLION left the treasury as untraceable. Head of Social Security resigned after trying to stop Big ballz and Hairy Bolz from taking a peek under the hood.
R we having fun yet?
Having almost too much fun. I SAID ALMOST!
When you watch CBS you “see BS”.
Very good!
See B.S. Rosebud
I strongly encourage CBS to keep it up. Double down in fact. More. More! MORE!!!
The more of it they do the sooner they will be off the air.
Its called See B.S. Fake News
Yes it is. And the more they do it the sooner they will crash and burn and run out of money and be off the air.
Nothing say ” non-political employee” like calling the President the reincarnation of Mussolini and Hitler and calling to “eliminate” his supporters. Great investigative work 60 Minutes.
