CBS Hasn't Learned from the Mary Mapes/Dan Blather Incident
Posted by Mitch45 on Thu Jul 3 10:29:46 2025 https://nypost.com/2025/07/03/media/60-minutes-bill-whitaker-got-teary-eyed-after-trump-lawsuit-settlement-report/ B O O H O O! Poor CBS "journalist" is upset because CBS admitted that it edited the Kamala Harris interview to make her appear smarter than she is. How quickly they forget. CBS's credit took a major hit in the George W. Bush/forged documents scandal, in which they tried to swing the 2004 election to John Kerry. That caper cost Mary Mapes and Dan Blather their jobs at CBS. When will the networks learn that people are not as stupid as they think? And thanks to advances in computer technology, it is much harder to get away with editing shenanigans than it used to be.

Anyway, this lawsuit was bullshit from the start and is another example of Trump’s desire to be a great leader.* *Since it’s not clear, I should say that I consider “leader” to be a pejorative when it comes to our president. Our president should not be a leader of anyone outside of our government and armed forces; he is a servant.

You mean other news outlets don't edit interviews to present their subject in a better light?

Outside of his Middle East policy, nothing he does is actually good, and even when he does something that could be good (deporting illegals), it’s done badly.

This deserves a nobel prize.

I don’t know what gas costs. I already mentioned how I think his foreign policy is good (I said Middle East policy specifically, but his foreign policy is good in general).
