After <i>Again</i> Being Caught Editing Politician's Answers to Further a Woke Progressive Narrative, CBS "News" Promises It Won't Happen Again, Pinky-Swearsies!

After Again Being Caught Editing Politician's Answers to Further a Woke Progressive Narrative, CBS "News" Promises It Won't Happen Again, Pinky-Swearsies!

As you probably know, CBS "News" had an interview with Kristi Noem. They asked her, of course, about Noted Maryland Man Kilmar Albrego-Garcia.

Noem explained that Garcia is an MS-13 gang member, a drug smuggler, human trafficker, and wife-beater.

CBS "News" didn't want that information to reach its very small number of viewers, so they clipped this entire answer to just show Noem insisting, for apparently no reason whatsoever, that Garcia would be deported one way or the other.

They made a mistake: Noem had a copy of the interview video and published it.

This morning, I joined CBS to report the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Instead, CBS shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth about this MS-13 gang member and the threat he poses to American public safety.

Supposably, CBS will no longer edit politician statements at all.

But only on Face the Nation. They'll continue editing people's quotes to prop them up or tear them down on every other show.

Days after complaints over the handling of an interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on "Face the Nation," CBS News said Friday it would no longer allow editing of its guests' words on the Sunday morning public affairs show.
Noem charged that CBS had "shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth" about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose mistaken deportation to El Salvador made him a symbol of controversies about President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. Her interview had been taped in advance.
Going forward, CBS said it would only broadcast live or live-to-tape interviews on the show, meaning guests' statements could not be edited, subject to legal or national security restrictions. CBS said the change was made "in response to audience feedback."
The network's news division is being watched closely for how it deals with the Trump administration following the FCC's recent approval of its parent company's takeover by Skydance Media. Shortly before Paramount Global's sale to Skydance was given the OK, Paramount paid $16 million to settle a lawsuit from Trump over a "60 Minutes" interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
CBS said it had edited four minutes out of its Noem interview for time. On social media, Noem focused on an excised clip where she made a series of unproven accusations about Abrego Garcia, which she said emphasize "the threat he poses to American public safety."

The pro-terrorist AP says that as if there is some rule that requires a media company to censor "unproven allegations" made by politicians. As the last ten years have shown, there is no such rule: CBS and all the other communist communications nodes have featured the left slandering Trump and all other Republicans with fake allegations for decades.

Remember when CBS picked up on the leftwing hoax that Nicholas Sandmann was a racist taunting a well-meaning Tribal Elder who himself didn't do nuffin?

This might be real: This might be the new management stepping in to take the power to edit away from its incorrigible communist propagandists. Maybe the new conservative-leaning management is serving up a lesson to the rest of the propangandists and serial defamers.

Or, it might be another lie. More fake and gay ops.

Update to prior post: Glenn Reynolds on the media's schizophrenic attitude of rabble-rousing and then rabble-snoozing.

One of the things we've learned over the years is that the press can rile people up about pretty much anything. Not long ago, a pro-life high-schooler, Nicholas Sandmann, who had the temerity to smile uncomfortably at a leftist agitator who got in his face was tarred nationally as a racist, at least until he started suing (and recovering).
George Floyd, a not very savory fellow who died questionably while struggling with police became a martyr, with protests in his name blowing through Covid restrictions and, for a while at least, remaking institutions. (His longest-lasting impact may be the utter discrediting of public health authorities, whose turn-on-a-dime shift for draconian lockdowns to endorsement of mass public gatherings destroyed their credibility with the vast majority of the public.)
The "trans" fad, now winding down, also remade many institutions, which are now trying to recover. For a while, pronouns were in, "gender affirming care" was unchallengeable, and anyone who dared criticize the fad was in danger of cancellation. All of these fads were mediated, and to some degree outright created, by the press.
But while rabble-rousing is the most obvious exercise of press power, rabble-snoozing -- the power to keep a news story dormant and out of the general public's notice -- is undoubtedly a bigger one. And we see that exercised again...
They're not even making excuses. They might say that violence on commuter trains isn't news -- though I don't know if that's true when you're talking Charlotte instead of the Bronx. They might say that black on white violence isn't news, though that's kind of an iffy position. Everyone knows, and DOJ statistics demonstrate, that's it's much more common than white on black, but do they want to invoke that as a justification? Maybe they don't want to encourage random violence by crazy people? But they cover that all the time.
The truth is, this story just hurts the narrative. The black-on-white angle hurts, but the real problem is that Decarlos Brown, Jr., is a repeat violent offender who has spun through the revolving door of the criminal justice system for years, a man with 14 arrests, many for violent crimes such as larceny, armed robbery, and violent threats. But despite being regularly arrested, he was repeatedly released.
Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said that you can't arrest your way out of these problems. Well, not if you keep letting people go, anyway...
The reason why the story is being snoozed is that the press doesn't want to support President Trump's national program against violent urban crime, which involves swift arrests and prosecution, with substantial penalties. This approach flies in the face of the mild "no cash bail"/ "restorative justice" approach being pushed in many big blue cities, which has had predictable results. Blue cities send social workers; Trump sends the National Guard.
...
Since the number one rule for the legacy media is "thou shalt not support anything Trump does," naturally the Zarutska murder can't be covered. And it won't be, unless they can find -- or manufacture -- some alternative angle that will make Trump look bad. So far, they've come up a dry hole.
So nothing.

I have seen the horrific video of a beautiful, young Ukrainian refugee, who came to America to escape the vicious War in Ukraine, and was innocently riding the Metro in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she was brutally ambushed by a mentally deranged lunatic. The perpetrator was a well known career criminal, who had been previously arrested and released on CASHLESS BAIL in January, a total of 14 TIMES. What the hell was he doing riding the train, and walking the streets? Criminals like this need to be LOCKED UP. The blood of this innocent woman can literally be seen dripping from the killer’s knife, and now her blood is on the hands of the Democrats who refuse to put bad people in jail, including Former Disgraced Governor and “Wannabe Senator” Roy Cooper.

148 "Between the 3 of them it’s about 20 million."

I think "they" claim that with those that watch via YouTube and other social media, the numbers are much higher.

But many also claim younger generations (all other generations, for me, ha) don't trust BigMedia. But who they do trust is another question. (Wired Magazine? Google Searches?, latest Hollywood psycho?)

152 "From June 20 through Labor Day, Fox News averaged 2.43 million viewers in primetime, surpassing ABC (2.38 million), NBC (2.21 million), and CBS (2.03 million).

That’s comparing Fox News

"Broadcast television in the United States reached a record low audience share in June 2025, accounting for just 18.5% of total TV viewing time, according to Nielsen's monthly report on The Gauge™.

The trend reflects a broader shift where streaming has surpassed combined broadcast and cable viewing, with streaming capturing 46% of total viewing in June. Cable now has 23 percent and Other has 12 percent.

229 Problem for networks is their viewers are old. And advertisers don’t care about them. So financially they’re kinda fucked. But it doesn’t take away the fact that 15-20 million people watch them every day.

230 Since the number one rule for the legacy media is "thou shalt not support anything Trump does," naturally the Zarutska murder can't be covered. And it won't be, unless they can find -- or manufacture -- some alternative angle that will make Trump look bad. So far, they've come up a dry hole.

Trump said he will take it up and will probably make a statement about it that they will not be able to ignore. However, it is still egregious that it needs a president to intervene before the media are forced to cover it.

The point is to attempt to reach viewers of liberal news programs. If Trump e.t al. stays on fox exclusively they are failing to at least try and reach two to three million people who watch the liberal legacy media. Even if they only can reach a very small percentage of those viewers they may change some minds.

Posted by: Aetius451AD

You have to actually be careful on ratings as people that are homebound swing way about their weight watching tv. They are not 'distinct' individuals so when you use cumulative morning, evening, infotainment like the Spew aka View, and so on, then you end up with a overcounting eyeballs problem. As saith to me, apples and oranges.

So the easiest assumption is that people watching a nightly broadcast are what you should count (and likewise for ad revenue as well) as apples to apples.

That's a good question. If this was anything federal, POTUS can see whatever the hell he wants to see.

But that footage is under control of the state govt. So he can't just order it, I wouldn't think. But, I imagine if POTUS wants to see it, he can see it. Might take a little longer....

Agreed. He needs the eyes, but he needs to favor the conservative media egregiously. He also needs to live stream anything he lets the msm interview for anyone in his administration. When the progtard media complains, pull out slides, view graphs, and plots, put on his Ross Perot straw hat and lecture the commie bastards.

That's exactly the type.

252 When I was Director of Transportation at a Demand and Response bus service, I had to fight the union tooth and nail to get cameras installed on our busses. The very first time I ran video based on a customer complaint, it completely exonerated the driver and got the customer suspended from service. Cameras saved us many times when cars ran red lights causing the driver to break hard, or if were involved in accident. And yes, a nailed a few drivers for infractions as well. But overall, the helped the drivers.

I suspect that "help" had absolutely no idea what they were "helping" with. Think about it. Did McVeigh in 1995 just tell the rental company "I'm gonna use this truck to blow up the Murrah Building so no, it won't be returned here"? Of course not. For one example.
