The only problem: the documents the august anchor based his report on were unverified, and their authenticity could not be confirmed (that’s a nice way of saying they were pretty much thoroughly debunked). Rather’s illustrious career pretty much came to an end at that point—as it should have—and it was a major wake-up call to the American public about just how biased our media had become.
He set out to destroy a president he didn’t like, and he didn’t care whether the facts backed him up or not.
We find ourselves in a similar situation now, as CBS News and their once-gloried flagship “60 Minutes” show were caught in an editing deception so craven, so obvious, and so devoid of journalistic integrity that even veteran watchdogs were stunned. They basically took one terrible answer by then-Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris and replaced it with another in order to make her look better—and influence the election.
The side-by-side is frankly stunning:
Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.
