These TV networks should have learned by now: You don't edit stuff out of sports broadcasts because you send a message that beclowns you. But CBS apparently hasn't learned. On Sunday, in the Las Vegas Raiders game at the Miami Dolphins, tight end Brock Bowers scored on a 23 yard touchdown catch. Raiders Celebrate TD And Trump Dance And he finished it off with a Trump Dance. Not super huge news. The entire football playing world seems to be doing the Trump Dance now. The coolest in the NFL may be the San Francisco 49ers. White guys are doing it....

President-elect Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Friday, vowing to bring justice to his name after years of attacks from the mainstream media. The incoming 47th president announced he is suing several media outlets, including the New York Times, CBS News, Penguin Random House, and the Daily Beast, alleging widespread bias and defamation. Trump’s lawyer, Edward Andrew Paltzik, demands $10 billion in damages for publishing defamatory material. In the lawsuit, Trump accused the mainstream media of “defaming and disparaging” him during coverage of the election and making “false and defamatory statements.” The NYT was at the center of the lawsuit....

The 2024 presidential election results reveal the diminishing influence of legacy mainstream media, whose relentless campaign against Donald Trump - unprecedented in scale and hostility - has largely backfired. Over half of American voters have shown that they’re no longer swayed by the daily narratives from ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and PBS. They’re no longer buying what’s published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal (editorial page excepted), or other prominent outlets. Trump’s decisive victory underscores the waning power of this era’s “Yellow Journalism,” though it’s doubtful the media will change course.

Eight international aid groups have jointly rebuked Israel for not only failing "to meet any of the specific criteria" set out by the Biden administration in an Oct. 13 letter demanding that the U.S. ally drastically increase the flow of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip within 30 days, but accusing Israel of taking "actions that dramatically worsened the situation on the ground, particularly in Northern Gaza." The U.S. letter had threatened to cut off some U.S. military assistance to Israel if its demands were not met within 30 days — a deadline that has now passed. "Israel's actions failed...

Members of Russian military intelligence unit 29155, who allegedly have access to microwave or ultrasound weapons, had been placed at the scene of reported attacks that resulted in US personnel suffering health problems, according to a year-long investigation by the Latvia-based Insider in collaboration with CBS’s “60 Minutes” and Germany’s Der Spiegel. Christo Grozev, the head of investigations with The Insider, told “60 Minutes” that he uncovered accounting records that show a 29155 officer received a bonus for work related to the development of “non-lethal acoustic weapons.” Unit 29155 has reportedly operated around the world since 2008, and is suspected...

The misconduct hearings on efforts to oust Fulton County DA Fani Willis from the Trump RICO case have come to a close. Both sides delivered final arguments Friday, each arguing where the bar should be set for the judge's looming disqualification decision. ... Trump defense attorney Steve Sadow said an "appearance of impropriety" is "enough" to disqualify her under Georgia law. ... Sadow raised rhetorical questions about who has the strongest motive to lie: "Who has the best motive of anyone to lie? They do. Who has the most at stake to lie? They do. Who wants to stay on...

I am warming up to watch the documentary Rather, celebrating the career of the disgraced former CBS News anchor. It is to be aired this coming Wednesday on Netflix. Apparently having access to a screener for media critics, the Star Tribune’s Neal Justin found the documentary to be wanting (“when it comes to the stumbles, like walking off the set when a tennis match went long, the legendary broadcaster goes missing”). Speaking of “stumbles,” we have the matter of Rathergate. However, “stumble” doesn’t quite capture it. “Disgrace,” “disaster,” and “fraud” are more like it. Award-winning CBS News producer Mary Mapes...

what a memory....just awesome....caught em red handed.

"I knew the laptop records could be vetted and confirmed," Catherine Herridge says. "I was confused by what seemed a disconnect between the CBS News division and 60 Minutes." Fired CBS News investigative journalist Catherine Herridge broke her silence on "the question I get asked the most" in her newsletter Sunday: "What happened with the Hunter Biden story at CBS before the 2020 election?" The short answer is the Tiffany network did not direct the CBS News investigative unit "to develop more reporting on the laptop" in October 2020 after Herridge vetted materials including "a million dollar retainer from a...

CBS News went to great lengths to squash correspondent Catherine Herridge’s reporting about the Hunter Biden laptop just weeks before the 2020 election, the award-winning investigative journalist claimed. In her bombshell allegation, Herridge revealed she brought evidence to CBS News executive Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell in early October 2020 that the laptop contained material about “a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm,” along with business texts and emails from the son of Democratic challenger Joe Biden. But later that month, Herridge wrote that she was shocked to see “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl...

An ousted veteran CBS reporter has written a lengthy expose claiming to reveal details about how the network squashed a Hunter Biden story. Writing on her website, Catherine Herridge described the broadcaster's investigation into the laptop as a 'missed opportunity for CBS News', suggesting the broadcaster failed to properly report her findings. Herridge said she told company executives the laptop contained material about 'a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm' along with Hunter's business texts and emails in early October 2020.

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump is suing CBS News for $10 billion in damages, stating the network practiced "deceptive conduct" for the purpose of election interference in its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the lawsuit filed Thursday.

It was the journalism fail heard around the world. CBS News’ long-running show “60 Minutes” interviewed Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in early October—but presented two different versions of her answering a question about Israel. Clearly, one of those answers had to be deceptively edited. Now Donald Trump is taking action—and suing the network for a staggering $10 billion dollars in damages, “stating the network practiced ‘deceptive conduct’ for the purpose of election interference in its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris." The lawsuit, filed Thursday, states that the network engaged in election and voter interference:

President Trump on Thursday sued CBS News for $10 billion for deceptively editing its ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris. “President Trump brings this action to redress the immense harm caused to him, to his campaign, and to tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across America by CBS’s deceptive broadcasting conduct,” the lawsuit stated, according to Fox News. Fox News reported: Former President Trump is suing CBS News for $10 billion in damages, stating the network practiced “deceptive conduct” for the purpose of election interference in its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell accused former President Donald Trump “and his supporters” of not giving President Joe Biden “grace” over his “garbage” remarks.O’Donnell referred to how Trump rode on a garbage truck to his rally in Wisconsin a day after Biden described Trump voters as being “garbage.”

President Joe Biden’s “garbage” smear does not undercut the Vice President Kamala Harris message of “unity,”‘ Gov. Tim Walz (D) indicated Wednesday. Biden’s smear on Tuesday overshadowed Harris’s closing argument that night in which she said she would be a president for “all Americans.” The pledge came just days after she called former President Donald Trump a “fascist.” “I have to ask, does that undercut this closing message of unity from your campaign,” asked CBS News’s Tony Dokoupil about Democrats long list of demonizing Trump supporters. “No, certainly not,” Walz replied:

CBS: You compared Trump supporters to Nazis. Biden called them "garbage." Hillary called them "deplorables." Doesn't that undercut your fake "unity" message? TIM WALZ: "No, certainly not."

In the last month of the presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump is doubling down on his promise to carry out the largest mass deportation effort in American history. In Reading, Pennsylvania, last week, Trump drew fervent applause from a rally crowd after saying he would "get these people out" and "deport them so rapidly." In Aurora, Colorado, on Friday, Trump told rallygoers he would "rescue Aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered." Immigration researchers, lawyers, and economists have pointed to immense constitutional, humanitarian and economic problems posed by Trump's oft-repeated pledge. But beyond the anticipated damage...

CBS News pushed back against former President Trump’s claim that “60 Minutes” deceitfully edited its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, dismissing the allegation as “false” in a statement released Sunday. After weeks of staying mum despite mounting backlash over the interview, CBS published a statement Sunday evening addressing the outrage that ensued after airing two different answers to the same question in the “60 Minutes” interview earlier this month with the Democratic nominee. “Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false,” the statement...
