President Trump finally did what millions of Americans wish more people would do. He walked away. In a fiery exchange with Kristen Welker, Trump ended the interview rather than continue participating in what was yet another example of a mainstream media figure acting more like a prosecutor than a journalist. The moment perfectly captured the growing frustration Americans have with a press corps that seems determined to lecture the public instead of listening to it.
And that brings us straight to Scott Pelley.
The longtime face of 60 Minutes is now making the rounds defending himself, defending CBS News, and portraying himself as some sort of guardian of journalism. Give me a break. The real story isn’t what Scott Pelley says about himself. The real story is what the tape says about Scott Pelley. Today we roll the clips. We show the bias. We expose the double standards. We revisit the reporting that helped destroy trust in one of the most respected news programs in television history.
The fall of CBS News didn’t happen overnight. It happened because too many journalists stopped reporting and started preaching. They stopped asking questions and started pushing narratives. They stopped serving viewers and started serving an agenda. Scott Pelley didn’t witness that decline. He became one of its most recognizable faces.
Plus, in Los Angeles, Spencer Pratt is learning a lesson familiar to conservatives across America. An election night lead means very little when days of ballot counting still lie ahead. With every massive late vote dump, his advantage gets chipped away, raising new questions about a system that leaves voters waiting and wondering long after the polls close.
