CBS News stepped into a hornet’s nest of its own making when they aired a “
60 Minutes” report about Gov. Ron DeSantis in which they dishonestly accused him of favoring wealthy Floridians during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. But amid the back-and-forth between the Sunshine State’s chief executive and the activist media outlet, there is a truth that has gone unnoticed.
The reality is that by lying about Gov. DeSantis, CBS News has done him an immense favor. The Hill reported:
DeSantis vehemently denied any wrongdoing in the vaccine rollout, calling the claim “a fake narrative,” but his insiders are relishing the fight with “60 Minutes,” which has long been a target of the right. They say the fallout over the report will likely help bolster the governor’s profile as he is increasingly seen as an heir apparent to former President Trump.
