CBS's Scott Pelley Loses a Fight Rigged in His Favor
breitbart ^ | EZRA DULIS

Scott Pelley, host of CBS News’ 60 Minutes, embarrassed himself in a Sunday segment about “fake news” — despite having the final cut on a hostile interview with a right-wing activist. Mike Cernovich — a lawyer, independent blogger/author/filmmaker, and a dominant voice on Twitter — built up significant buzz for 60 Minutes by revealing on Thursday he had granted Pelley a sit-down interview. In the hours before the live broadcast, Cernovich anticipated that the 45-minute conversation would be “selectively edited” and pre-emptively published a partial transcript.

That concern is based on a long history of network news programs using misleading or downright comical editing to put conservatives in the worst possible light. As the segment aired, Pelley’s opening statement made it clear this story was a smear job:

In this last election, the nation was assaulted by impostors masquerading as reporters. They poisoned the conversation with lies on the left and on the right. Many did it to influence the outcome — others just to make a buck. The president uses the term “fake news” to discredit responsible reporting that he doesn’t like. But we’re going to show you how con artists insert truly fake news into the national conversation with fraudulent software that scams your social media account. The stories are fake, but the consequences are real. [emphasis added]

That guy looks so ridiculous, with his frown that's supposed to be a smile.

Man, CBS is just the bottom of the barrel.

CBS, I believe it was CBS who fabricated a protest demonstration of children in Mississippi during the lead up to the Civil Riches Act of 1964. Photos were taken by LE and given to Congress critters of the network paying the kids. The demonstration appeared on morning news the next day.

I also believe they are the ones who fabricated a protest in Vietnam and showed on American news.

a very dishonest bunch of people.

Scott Pelley is an asshat. Every night the first 10 minutes of his “show” is nothing but anti-Trump propaganda, without fail. Had to quit watching a few weeks ago.

95% plus of the Mainstream Media is composed of so called Journalists who identify as either Democrats or Liberals.

If the opposite were true and 95% plus of those same so called Journalists identified as Conservatives and Republicans, the Liberals would go ballistic.

Difference is, our side argues Facts while their side calls our side Nazis, Homophobes, Racists or whatever derogatory word pops into their heads. The don’t “do” Truth.

The great thing about this was Mike Cernovich.

He pegged Pelly and the Fake MSM to the ground over and over again. So worth a read.

The best story I heard about these news shows -- I think it was "60 Minutes" -- involved someone who was apparently a pretty smart dude: the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.

He was invited to an interview and said he'd be interested. They told him it would take an hour. He asked them how long the segment was going to be, and they said it would be 15 minutes long. "Then I'll give you 15 minutes," he said, knowing damn well that the biased U.S. media would edit the interview extensively to further their own agenda.

I think they did the entire interview in 15 minutes.

Catastrophic loss of brain cells.

Few weeks ago? I haven't watched network news since the early 90s, and I was in my early 20s then. I was more concerned about chicks and beer than whatever vomit Dan Rather was spewing up.
