FLASHBACK: Norah O'Donnell Calls Trump Tweets Racist On CBS News
Posted on 12/30/2019 6:26:52 PM PST by conservative98
CBS News on Monday apologized for confusing one congressman for another during their evening broadcast.
The network showed a photo of late Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, who died in October at 68, when referring to Georgia Democrat John Lewis.
The image of the longtime lawmaker was placed next to a quote from the civil rights icon about his recently revealed battle with stage four pancreatic cancer.
“While I am clear-eyed about the prognosis… I have a fighting chance,” the quote from Lewis said.
The network’s embarrassing error drew scorn on social media.
“Can’t believe CBS News is showing a picture of the late U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings w/ Congressman John Lewis’ name as they talk about Rep. Lewis’ recent announcement. Get it right!” wrote @StephonFerguson.
Added WSB-TV photographer Brandon Bryant: “People! Representative #JohnLewis Lewis and the late Representative #ElijahCummings are TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE!”
“I just seen a MAJOR network have the wrong picture of John Lewis on air! That was inexcusable not to research who is who. #DiversityInTheNewsroom,” Bryant tweeted.
“I know you all think Negroes like alike @CBSNews @NorahODonnell but this is Rep. Elijah Cummings…,” tweeted @coachjimeljones.

Not to worry - Lewis’ ‘slave sharks’ are still swimming the shipping lanes in the Atlantic.
Y’know, because slavers regularly tossed their salable assets overboard for no good reason.

If President Trump made that mistake, it would be an impeachable offense. The MSM still lies to this day about things like him calling Neo-NAZIs “good people” or that he supposedly mocked a disabled man. They still try to act like the Russia hoax used to spy on Trump’s campaign was legitimate.
Can you tell the difference between Jake Tapper and Chuck Todd? Cuz I can't.
I know you all think Negroes like alike @CBSNews @NorahODonnell but this is Rep. Elijah Cummings, (May God Rest his Soul) on this photo...Rep. John Lewis is the gentleman dealing with pancreatic cancer. #SimpleResearch #PayAttention pic.twitter.com/cGQKg2SK8h— Jimel Jones (@coachjimeljones) December 30, 2019
LOL!! I’ve been waiting for the predictable milk dud reference.
Are these two the same men or different men..lol I don't know..and I dont know which one is which
They all look alike, right SeeBS?
“All white liberal journalists look alike too, right CBS?”
well, they all SOUND alike at any rate, all of them always using the exact same phrases at the same time, presumably taken from the DNC talking points memo sent out to all of them ...
Isn’t RBG also dealing with pancreatic cancer?
Honestly, all milk duds look alike to me.
No doubt about that.
If this happened on Fox News, Nancy Pelosi would be pushing a Bill in the House to close them down.

With laser beams on their heads.
“While I am clear-eyed about the prognosis… I have a fighting chance,”
Not at Stage 4, you don’t. 2-3mos, at best.
I had acute-severe Pancreatitis in 2017-18, lost 134lbs and died 2x, but survived.
I can understand the mistake. They’re both equally ugly, inside and out.
Oh, c’mon Stephon and Brandon. You really didn’t know Libturds think black people all look alike?
All blacks look alike! Shouldn’t Democrats be apologizing for racism?
Chuck Todd is the one with the creepy pornstache, isn’t he?
