One heck of a dishonest report from CBS's 60 Minutes on the medical mask shortage

CBS, the network that brought us the crying nurse with mental health issues who didn't understand hospital procedures, and the two, count 'em, two, video instances of Italian hospital mayhem to make phony claims about chaos at New York and Pennsylvania hospitals in the coronavirus pandemic, has now put out another whopper.

This time, it's a 60 Minutes segment about mask and personal protective equipment shortages at a New York City hospital, which, its report argues, is all Trump's fault.

That first line hits the target. It's just more opinion disguised as news.

I’m not surprised. I haven’t watched 60 Minutes since 1969, when they deceptively edited the questions asked of an executive of the company I worked for to make his answers seem to be the opposite of what he was actually saying. A leopard doesn’t change his spots, nor does the Fake News Media.

Dishonesty is what the Ministry of Propaganda does.

Perhaps the FCC should really license news broadcasters in a serious way.

If a doctor engages in malpractice, they can lose their license and can no longer practice medicine.

If CBS or CNN blatantly lies about the news, they should lose their broadcast license and no longer be allowed to transmit.

Dishonesty is not protected by the Constitution.

CBS 60 Minutes have been known liars since their false Audi Unintended Acceleration segment nearly drove Audi out of the North American market. That was back in 1986.

Why anyone has taken them seriously since then is beyond me.

CBS news’s lying ways were brought front and center again with the manufactured Texas National Guard documents they used to try to get George W. Bush. At least we ultimately got rid of Dan Rather on that one.

CBS owns a dozen or more radio/TV stations.
Just jerk the renewals around a bit and see what happens.

Same as the FBIAS.
Those rank and file that Hannity praises were hired, trained and promoted by Mueller and Comey

I happened to see this segment, just out of curiosity.
It was a blatant hit job filled with drama and whining.
And I think they went out of their way to make Navarro look bad physically on camera.

60 MINUTES = FAKE “News” & LEFTIST PROPAGANDA.

I recommend turning that FOOLISHNESS & LIES off, forever.

Remember Dan Rather and his infamous hit piece on Bush with the fake records? The Freepers here brought him down but upon his resignation he still said that it was “Fake but accurate!”
