Completely Unbiased CBS Journo Scott Pelley Reminds Grads Our Country (and 'Democracy') Is In Peril

The last time we checked in with totally objective CBS newsman Scott Pelley he was on “60 Minutes” giving incredibly negative reviews of President Trump’s Cabinet. We’d just come off four years of not really knowing who was actually making the decisions in the White House and Biden Cabinet members knew how bad things were but did nothing, but NOW it’s time for “journalists” to scrutinize a president’s team. 

One of Pelley’s points about Pete Hegseth in particular was that he had no government experience, which Karoline Leavitt quickly torpedoed with a reality check:

Pelley and others in “journalism” have demonstrated that they believe their job is to keep people as ignorant, misinformed or uninformed as possible on behalf of the Democrats. 

lol..the arrogance of journalists is breathtaking…

Never has such a high opinion of personal self-worth been more undeserved.
