Oh, Good Grief! Fake News ’60 Minutes’ Star “Nonpolitical” “USAID Worker” Is Former Deep State Speech Writer, Did NOT Work for USAID, AND Even Had a Blog Writing about Eliminating Trump Supporters

“60 Minutes” is quickly earning the reputation of being the most fake of all the fake news outlets.

“60 Minutes” is already in court defending their organization after they were caught cutting and pasting Kamala Harris’s interview together to make he look like a normal thinking person.

Now, this past weekend, “60 Minutes” was caught again, this time trying to pass a former speechwriter for USAID chief Samantha Power as a sad and distraught former USAID employee who the Trump administration recently fired.

60 Minutes aired a segment about a sad young mother Kristina Drye who was fired from USAID in Washington DC this month.

But this was a complete lie.

Kristina Drye does not work for USAID. She works for XLA and Jefferson Partners, a company that provides speechwriting services for USAID.

Drye was Samantha Power’s speechwriter – the former head of USAID!

Kari Lake has more: "Samantha Power was the former head of the USAID@60Minutes tried to pass off the woman who helped give voice to all of this agency’s corruption as a common civil servant."

The news doesn’t get much faker than this.

This entire segment was bullsh*t

In fact 60 Minutes pulled in two communications consultants who were NEVER ACTUAL EMPLOYEES of USAID.

Also… Elon Musk pointed out that these fired employees have 8 months pay. So that was BS too.

Kristina even wrote about eliminating Trump supporters. (Post at link)

“60 Minutes” is making a mockery out of legacy media outlets.

They really have lost it.

So will “60 Minutes” apologize for this fake news on their show next week, or no?

The FCC needs to follow through on yanking CBS's broadcasting license unless 60 Minutes is pulled from the air.

Some people are afraid of audits and transparency. I wonder what they are hiding?

The only thing that will get their attention is the loss of broadcast licenses for all of the stations that they own. They can stream or get on cable. The American people own the airwaves.

The target is so obvious that a crater should be where it was by now.

Sounds plausible but needs to be sourced better. GP is very low on the reliability scale unfortunately.

“.....So will “60 Minutes” apologize for this fake news on their show next week, or no?.....”

I think that the DOJ along with the FCC need to talk to the CBS 60 Minutes attorney’s about the attorneys gaining control of what gets put on the air of the CBS channel.

I am sure that after the Trump lawsuit and the heavily edited Camel Toe edited interview, CBS attorney’s are seeing the handwriting on the wall.
