Honesty they look alike. I’ve embarrassed myself thinking a black person I knew was someone else. It happens. Although I’m thrilled cbs made a fool of themselves. They need knocked down.

I can immediately tell the difference.

One of them actually cracks a smile from time to time.

The white CBS guys can’t tell Blacks apart.

This is what happens when you delegate things to interns who were selected on the basis of blondeness and cup size.

Well, they are left wing journalists. All those black people look alike to them. Even though some of their best friends are black. After all it’s all Trumps fault.

I’d love to know how they could possibly mix this one up. I’m sure someone will say an intern grabbed the first photo image they googled. I doubt that’s the truth.

News organizations have boilerplate obituaries for government officials and celebrities that only need an anchor’s voice to complete already in the can for eventualities. Surely they have Lewis’ correct photo...?

There’s some network nuttiness behind this.

I must admit, it’s all I can do to remember who my own elected representatives are. I don’t think I’d recognize my Congressman (Bill Flores, IIRC) if he were standing in front of me. I’d have better luck recognizing his voice, which I hear when his robo calls to alert me that a telephone town hall is coming up. Between FR and his own efforts, Ted Cruz won’t let me forget him! :-D

“CBS News apologizes”

When will they apologize to Trump? And for broadcasting fake news for the past x number of years?

“CBS is gonna give white liberal racist hypocrite journalists a bad name.”

I just heard this being talked about on the radio. They were laughing about the 2 reps pics getting labeled incorrectly and how cbs apologized profusely. Took a minute to repeat what had gone down. I laughed for a solid minute.

2020 off to a beautiful start for mainstream media idiots.
