Stories like this give me hope. It’s time for the corrupt media to be held accountable. I wouldn’t believe the media if it said the sky is blue.

In the spirit of Mary Mapes; ‘F*** em All’

This is war. Politicians are targets. There is nothing more to it then that.

Obviously they have made the calculation that they will pick up more liberal viewers to make up the loss of conservative ones. I hope they misjudged - badly. CBS needs to fail, badly..

CBS premise makes no sense other than through the lens of a political hit job. Publix is the major grocery chain out of FL. Walmart, Kroger, Walgreens, CVS were part of the vaccine distribution so Publix being a part was obvious.

I wonder how close to air time they asked for interviews. Reporters love to wait until the last second and when there’s no time to respond or schedule they say declined to be interviewed or didn’t respond blah blah

From the article:

“The state, he said, plans to use other retailers in the near future.”

That’s not a true statement, either. Desantis said they were already using other retailers but in a different way (vaccinating at long term care facilities). Publix was not even the first retailer they used. Apparently no one can get it right.

I have not watched 60 Minutes in a few years (used to watch every episode). Do they still do the “reader comment” section at the end where they provide follow ups and sometimes corrections to the previous week’s stories?

If so, will be interesting to see if this is addressed.

newzjunkey :" From the network that gave us “fake about accurate”

Creating "fake news" is nothing less than I would expect from this network.
They have a history of creating controversy where none exists.

I’ve not given 60 Minutes an hour of my time since watching its first episode, back in the Pre-Woke Era. The first word that came to my young mind was Muckrakers. In the Woke Era, the word Hatemongers seems more fitting. A nasty show with nasty, self-righteous, preening peacocks playing at being objective interviewers

CBS needs to be charged for illegal political contributions. Airing an interview is one thing, selectively editing it is another.

Why would DeSantis give “60 Minutes” the time of day? When will R’s learn that the liberal media will never treat them fairly?

Why would President Trump give extended access to notorious idiot hack Bod Woodward?
