Political correctness being perpetuated..

[healthmyths]

CBS’s “60 Minutes” was widely regarded not long ago as the gold standard of broadcast journalism. Regrettably, not so much anymore.

With the luxury of long-form, in-depth reporting rather than the typical mainstream media hit-and-run headline-and-sound-bite journalism, “60 Minutes” presented thorough, thoughtful and evenhanded reports on controversial topics.
In the past several years, “60 Minutes” has all too often aired reports with a left-wing bias nearly indistinguishable from what you would find on MSNBC.
This past Sunday, correspondent Scott Pelley narrated a 13-minute segment titled “28 Days” about the first four weeks of President Trump’s second term.
The show’s opening tease — with its trademark stopwatch ticking, in this case almost as if it were a time bomb — previewed the ominous tone of the report this way: “It’s too soon to tell how serious President Trump is in defiance of the Constitution, but in just 28 days, he’s reinterpreted the 14th Amendment and closed agencies that Congress mandated by law.”

Mr. Pelley devoted not so much as a single word to the widely publicized list of USAID programs that squandered hundreds of millions of dollars on wasteful and fraudulent programs abroad, many promoting radical diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and LGBTQ agendas. He then doubled down by letting leftist Georgetown law professor Steve Vladeck dismiss what he called Mr. Trump’s and Mr. Musk’s “claims of fraud” to be just “fig leafs” to mask a power grab.

From gold standard to fool’s gold: How ‘60 Minutes’ lost its journalistic integrity

There was a time, not long ago, that CBS’ “60 Minutes” was widely regarded as the gold standard of broadcast journalism. Regrettably, not so much anymore.

So now 60 Minutes is in chaos and who is coming to the rescue?

Shari Redstone kept tabs on ‘60 Minutes’ segments on Trump

Tensions between CBS and parent company Paramount culminated in the resignation of a longtime producer this week.

Shari Redstone kept tabs on ‘60 Minutes’ segments on Trump
Paramount owner Shari Redstone in recent days sought to know which upcoming 60 Minutes stories were about President Donald Trump, according to two people familiar with the situation — triggering a series of events that ended with the Tuesday resignation of the show’s longtime producer.

Producer Bill Owens resigned abruptly this week, complaining that he no longer had the editorial independence to run the iconic Sunday evening news show.
Ouch: Wednesday’s release of the raw “60 Minutes” interview of Kamala Harris proves beyond a doubt that the once-respected news outlet covered for her big-time; how does CBS News earn its reputation back now?

Like all too many legacy media operations, it needs to clear out the partisan rot.

It can start by booting “60 Minutes” head producer Bill Owens, who has made all too many bad calls.

While every few weeks some assassin attacks the public, leaving dead people behind, there is no force dedicated to such terrorists. There are nonstop robberies, stabbings and rapes in the country but guess what - the government does not care. They literally give a shit. Instead, they employ 16 police units that monitor the internet and search for "hate speech". Everything can be hate speech. They come in the early morning. They search your home, while another violent gang rape takes place next door. They take your devices - they keep your devices. They take your money. And they put you in...

Oh but I watch it so I can show with the FACTS why the majority of people that suffer from anti-American psychosis(in case you don't know the term..."Psychosis is a state where a person experiences a distorted perception of reality, often involving hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there) and delusions (false beliefs). get their information. Suffering from perpetuating hatred of the USA is what 60 Minutes with their extreme left leaning demonstrate.

Have you heard of this one, from AFD?

The next absurdity from Berlin: Syrians with protected status will soon be allowed to travel to their homeland "under strict conditions". Yes, you read it correctly - the country from which they allegedly had to flee should now become a legitimate holiday destination! What is supposed to be a clear asylum ground – the escape from war and persecution – will thus become the entry ticket for tax-financed home holidays. It is clear for every thinking citizen: Whoever can return without fear was never in danger.​

This decision is not only a mockery to those truly in need of protection, but a devastating signal to all who exploit our asylum system. While many Germans suffer from the explosive violent crime - often practiced by so-called "protection seekers" - the state is now also rewarding these groups with travel subsidies to their supposedly so dangerous homeland. How about CSU? She suddenly appears to be the opposition, even though she has been with this policy for years​

Ever since Walter Cronkite was "the most trusted man in America", trust in the media has been on downward slope.

Such regulations are not new. Now also for Syria? They prove that there is no need for asylum.

Ever since Walter Cronkite was "the most trusted man in America", trust in the media has been on downward slope.

AND IT started with Cronkite! Here is what LBJ said about Cronkite!
I took journalism courses in the 1960s and we were taught the 5 "Ws". Who,What,When,Where and WHY!
it was only after television exemplified by Walter Cronkite that the biased MSM emphasis on the "WHY"
was the primary W.
Historically the "editorial page" was where "OPINIONS" were provided...
the rest of the news was equally provided by the 5 "Ws".
Consequently the political affiliation of the news distributors, i.e. evening news anchors made biased presentations of the biased information we received.
Case in point starting with Cronkite. We were winning in Vietnam! That is a fact.
A key element to this fairy tale is the idea that the journalistic icons of the time, like CBS’s Walter Cronkite, were Olympian figures who would never stoop to play favorites or inject ideology into the news.

CBS Evening News Anchor Walter Cronkite Broadcasts His “Report from Vietnam”​

February 27, 1968​

"To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past. To suggest we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory, conclusion. . . . But it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could.” –Walter Cronkite

The Vietnam War Commemoration is conducted according to the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act to help honor and pay tribute to Vietnam Veterans and their families.

Cronkite's Vietnam Blunder

BUT...Walter Cronkite was one of the FIRST BIASED evening newscaster's who CAUSED thousands of American military lives in Vietnam!

"In the end, Tet was a military disaster for the North, but it was a political victory for them in the West."
It is now conventional wisdom among American intellectuals of both Left and Right that the Vietnamese communist forces suffered a tremendous blow in that military effort, but the spectacle of such an all-out effort obliterated domestic support for the war in the United States.

But Cronkite saw it differently.

At this pregnant moment of the war, when prospects of victory never looked brighter, he concludes that the war is a stalemate and probably unwinnable.

CBS’s “60 Minutes” was widely regarded not long ago as the gold standard of broadcast journalism.

By whom?

Not me. And certainly not anyone in my family when I was growing up. My dad would point out Cronkite's lies. That's how I learned what the word "bullshit" meant.

There is no such thing as anti-American psychosis. You right-wingers don't define what American is. Furthermore, exactly what is political correctness? Anything right-wingers don't want to hear? Because the right is banning and erasing things or firing people for expressing a view they don't agree with. You're the first to whine about the poor downtrodden white race and want everybody to speak in ways that don't upset you or don't make you feel uncomfortable. The definition of psychosis fits the American right exclusively. The version of America you see and want people to live in is a dystopian shithole run by draconian rules carried out by fascists. People don't want that America, that's not psychosis, that's good sense.
