Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) tore into journalists working for CBS News, calling them smear merchants and accusing them of peddling a horse manure narrative about the coronavirus vaccine rollout in his state. These are smear merchants. That s why nobody trusts corporate media. They are a disaster in what they are doing, DeSantis said during a press conference in Panama City on Tuesday morning. They knew what they were doing was a lie.
On Sunday evening, CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi presented a far-ranging report for 60 Minutes that criticized DeSantis s vaccine rollout, accusing him of funneling vaccines to rich communities while using a privatized system that benefited political donors.
