“60 Minutes” should have stopped digging that hole when it comes to the deceptive hit job that they did on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. They should have just said, “Sorry, we were mistaken,” even though we all know it wasn’t a “mistake.”
Instead, as we reported earlier, they doubled down and stood by their claims.
That’s antagonizing the parties involved other than DeSantis including Publix and the two Democratic politicians who have debunked “60 Minutes” claims.
New emails between “60 Minutes” and Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office shows indicate just how much of a hit job the show was. They suggest while they asked for responses that they really weren’t interested in actually presenting the responses but were just going to go with the narrative they already had.
