When then-President Donald Trump accused CBS News 60 Minutes of deceptively editing an interview he did with correspondent Lesley Stahl during the 2020 election campaign, the program stood by a pledge of full, fair and contexted reporting.
However, the network s response to criticism of a botched hit piece targeting Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis suggests they ve strayed from their once-lauded professional standard.
In October, Trump published purportedly unedited footage of his sitdown with Stahl on Facebook in an attempt to respond to what he perceived to be a vicious attempted takeout’ by the veteran correspondent.
Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich explains why the 60 Minutes report on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been proven untrue.

This did not happen. Two Democrat

Side Note: In Florida, Publix is like the homeless in New York or human feces on the sidewalks of San Francisco or car-jackings in Detroit or hate crimes in Los Angeles… You can’t throw a rock without hitting one.
