NewsBusters Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I were stunned by Sunday’s Face the Nation in which the show made a baffling decision to deceptively remove a key portion of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s answer about the alleged criminal record of illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
As our Bill D’Agostino wrote, this was part of a pattern of behavior from CBS News, stretching far beyond last year’s 60 Minutes interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris that led to a lawsuit from now-President Trump and a settlement of at least $16 million.
We also dove into CBS’s attempt to save face before diving into some delicious hypocrisy from The Atlantic’s Ashley Parker, who wrote a story over the Labor Day weekend mocking the increased law enforcement presence and National Guardsmen in Washington D.C. to combat crime. Back in June, Parker herself lamented being a victim of multiple thefts in the city.
The discussion then turned to a series of setbacks for Navy veteran Zachary Young in defamation cases against the Associated Press and Puck. Fondacaro predicted the AP case could be appealed and broke down why the judge in the case equated these suits to movie sequels.
Finally, we ripped the left for their fawning coverage of communist China’s military parade, which they’ve determined is another way to stick it to President Trump.
