In response to content material cops at Elon Musk’s X, a tweet mocking CBS Information for his or her softball interviews with Kamala and “Feeble Joe” was tagged beneath their “Hateful Conduct” coverage. This was the tweet:
We’ve got decided your publish violated our guidelines in opposition to Hateful Conduct.
Chances are you’ll not promote violence in opposition to, threaten, or harass different individuals on the idea of race, ethnicity, nationwide origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender id, non secular affiliation, age, incapacity, or severe illness…
Because of this, your publish could keep on the platform however we’ve got restricted its attain.
It is the “Feeble Joe”? It is mocking somebody’s age or incapacity? Or is somebody simply super-sensitive about mocking CBS?
This was primarily based partially by my outdated MRC Particular Report titled “Syrupy Minutes,” lining up the softball periods on 60 Minutes from 2006-2010. However we actually noticed the sap with Joe Biden and with Kamala Harris. The Kamala Harris interview is precisely the sleazy-editing matter that Trump sued over, demanding they make public the transcript of that interview.
As I famous when Scott Pelley interviewed Biden in 2023, “Some thought the president appeared doddering — and the interview was rigorously edited by his CBS mates. Pelley admitted Biden was, effectively, ‘drained’ from operating the nation.” Pelley oozed “America’s oldest president appeared drained from directing all of this. However he was very clear on what he stood for and the way his insurance policies, in his view, would see America by way of.”
In 2022, Pelley promoted Biden on extra home issues (whereas the 2023 section was fully concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict). The worst query was Pelley suggesting “hard-right Republicans” are making the world extra harmful with their failure to elect a brand new Speaker.
CBS has an extended historical past of leftist bias and Democrat partisanship. Going again to Edward R. Murrow ripping Joe McCarthy by way of Dan Moderately ripping George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. Right now, Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan is embarrassing herself making an attempt to embarrass J.D. Vance.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) introduced she wished the presidents of PBS and NPR to testify earlier than the Home Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on Authorities Effectivity. NPR CEO Katherine Mayer claimed she’s all about touting the “neutral” and “fact-based” NPR information product. That is false on a number of ranges. Mayer declined the invitation to testify in 2024 and so they aren’t demonstrating any dedication to an “neutral, fact-based” method.
In a observe to workers this morning, NPR’s CEO mentioned Home R’s are planning a listening to on bias in federally funded media and NPR “welcomes alternatives to debate the important position of public media in delivering neutral, fact-based information and reporting to the American individuals.” pic.twitter.com/7GV9QpRe7x

Exhibit A is their dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop computer in October 2020. Their information boss Terence Samuel poured acid on the subject: “We do not wish to waste our time on tales that aren’t actually tales, and we do not wish to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on tales which are simply pure distractions.”
