Another day, another half-truth from the mainstream media. This time, CBS’s 60 Minutes wants you to believe Kristina Drye was “fired” from USAID during the agency’s chaotic shutdown. But there’s a problem with that narrative—she wasn’t a USAID employee. Not even close.
Drye was a speechwriter working for XLA and Jefferson Partners, firms that provided services for USAID Administrator Samantha Power. When Power resigned, Drye’s contract ended. That’s not a firing. That’s what happens when your boss leaves and the job disappears. But CBS didn’t bother telling you that, did they?
The USAID shutdown wasn’t some random event—it was part of a larger overhaul led by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Elon Musk’s administration. The goal? To clean house. DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility) initiatives were scrapped, propaganda TVs were unplugged, and woke language was purged from government websites. The establishment wasn’t happy, and neither were their media lackeys.

Add this to the defamation lawsuit against CBS!
SUE! AGAIN!
CBS won’t be worth a plug nickel when Trump is done with them...............
CBS is demonstrating their depth of deceit daily.
I do wonder, however, if in this case, she was eligible for the buyout as an employee under contract to a service provider for USAID, rather than USAID directly ?
“SUE! AGAIN!”
No need. CBS is already facing $20B in a FLORIDA COURT, which will eventually be settled at a lower level, which, no doubt, Trump already knows - simply bump that floor up a bit, maybe by another $20M or so?
CBS must have some very low IQ people employed.
“Another day, another half-truth from the mainstream media.”
The Main Street Media has morphed into the Lame Street Media
USAID and the pharmaceutical companies were the only things keeping the dinosaur media afloat.
If the FCC had a department that flagged programs with a flashing MISINFORMATION WARNING 60 Minutes CNN MSNBC and any other liberal news programs would have one blinking the entire time.
Documenting how 60 minutes, Germany, the EU and NATO have become “literally” - in the original meaning of literal - fascist organizations.
fUNNY WHEN BIDEN KILLED THE kEYSTONE pIPELINE AND THUS FIRED 60,000 PEOPLE nobody ARED ABT their PRESCHOOL KIDS.
Another example of the abuse of contractor services by the government. The problem is not such much the 2M federal employees as the force multiplier from contractors providing "personal services."
CBS had no such sympathy for those that lost jobs because of COVID shots, truckers, or energy workers when Biden shut down pipelines and coal production. They can eff off.
60 min. has been routinely lying since their initial opening. I watched their first year in awe. Then, their 2nd came along and I noticed that every single episode on any technical area of any type was a pack of lies.
They have always been nothing but agitprop. Nothing. Trust them no more than you would trust Wikipedia.
I wish my Tagline was not accurate, but it is.
It seems that they don’t really want the Paramount/Skydance merger to succeed. There are consequences for bias and propaganda.
Fixed the glitch 😂
Time to pull their broadcast license
