CBS loves kamala and hates the republicans so much, its journalistic ethics are crap....

US House speaker blasts CBS for ‘selectively editing’ interview
Mike Johnson has accused the network of gutting his answers on ‘Face the Nation’

Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson has accused CBS of selectively editing his interview to change the context of what he said, posting the original footage on social media as proof.

While cutting pre-taped interviews for time is a standard practice, altering the content and context of the quoted statements is considered journalistic malpractice. Johnson claimed that CBS did just that to his appearance on Sunday’s episode of ‘Face the Nation’.

“I recently traveled to [North Carolina] and victims of Hurricane Helene told me nearly two weeks after landfall, the Biden-Harris Administration had STILL not provided them with all the resources they desperately needed,” Johnson wrote on X. “But CBS selectively edited OUT ENTIRELY this first-hand perspective.”

He then posted the segment as aired alongside the raw footage, which showed which parts CBS had chosen to omit.

“So they’ve obligated some funds, but they’ve only distributed two percent…. The rescue and recovery effort is still going on, and then we address the rest of it,” CBS showed him as saying in the first segment.

The network omitted five other sentences in between, including that the people of North Carolina told Johnson they “had not been provided the resources, almost two weeks after the storm, that they desperately needed.”

Johnson then shared another example of selective editing, in which CBS removed all references to the federal government trying to prevent a state from removing non-citizens from voter rolls.

“Here’s the problem, there is a number of states that are not requiring proof of citizenship when illegals or non-citizens register to vote. We know that’s happening. Everybody should want the law to be followed,”was what CBS aired Johnson as saying.

Gone was any mention of the Biden administration suing Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin for cleaning up voter rolls to exclude non-citizens, or Johnson wondering why the White House would do something that “creates a lot of doubt and concerns in the minds of the American people.”

In the third exchange, CBS cut Johnson’s entire answer to the question about voting integrity, leaving only the opening sentence.

According to Fox News, Johnson was so disgusted by what happened that he has vowed to never give a non-live interview with CBS again.

The network has already faced criticism for their ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, in which te network aired two different answers to the same question in the preview and in the final broadcast.

Former US president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who will face Harris in the November 5 election, accused CBS of perpetrating “the greatest fraud in broadcast history” with the Harris interview and called for their broadcast license to be pulled.

The network has declined to release the raw footage to clear up the controversy.

Kamala's New Reliance on John Bolton & Bill Kristol

... in 1995, Uncle rupe created the weekly Standard, a magazine for neo-cons to reinforce their own values and destroy anything that was not in their scope. William Kristol, an American neoconservative political analyst and commentator, was the co-founder and editor of Uncle Rupe's magazine... In 1997, Kristol also co-founded the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) with Robert Kagan. We know the rest. If you don't, go rummage through the garbage.

 

US President Joe Biden’s efforts to punish Moscow over the Ukraine crisis have failed, and his rhetoric and weak leadership have only encouraged more aggression by Russian leader Vladimir Putin, ex-White House aide John Bolton has claimed.

Bolton made his comments in a NewsNation interview on Friday, after Biden and other US officials rebuked President Putin over the death of opposition politician Alexey Navalny in a Siberian penal colony. The former US national security advisor argued that contrary to statements by the Biden administration, Navalny’s death does not demonstrate weakness in Putin’s government.

“Sad to say, it demonstrates the opposite,” Bolton said. “He thought he could do this without any significant domestic, Russian political consequences, and he could do it without any real international consequences, either. I think Biden, in the statement you just ran, helps show that that’s true.”

A US-led sanctions campaign in response to Moscow’s military offensive against Ukraine has failed to cripple the Russian economy, Bolton said. “They’ve largely recovered,” he said. “At the same time, the Ukrainian economy is still being ground into the dust.”

From Iran and Venezuela to China, President Donald Trump’s foreign policy is being shaped by hawks who believe that the US cannot be challenged militarily, a political analyst told RT, adding that Washington is now risking war.

Sidelining even the president himself, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton are now in the driver’s seat, steering US policy into ever greater provocation and conflict across several continents, independent political analyst Alessandro Bruno told RT.

“These two are dangerous,” Bruno said. “Pompeo and Bolton have control of US foreign policy right now. I don’t think Trump has any control.”

President Trump’s hawkish advisers are putting the US on a collision course with other world powers, and the chances for diplomatic solutions diminish by the day.

There’s no diplomacy potential... Pompeo and Bolton seem to be oblivious to the fact that the US isn’t the only power around anymore.
