The big national TV networks continue their campaign to become absolutely unbelievable.

The latest incident involves CBS’s 60 minutes, which published a hit piece against Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, a Republican they fear will be the 2024 candidate for president.

The networks obviously are scared that DeSantis will be elected and halt the government’s march to totalitarianism.

The hit piece on DeSantis allowed the network to deflect from the New York governor’s notorious bungling of the covid pandemic, costing thousands of lives - especially the elderly, Michigan’s governor of attacking civil liberties and California’s governor going maskless in a swanky restaurant while imposing lockdowns on “little people.”

The 60 Minutes lefties deceptively edited a video of the governor’s exchange with 60 Minutes Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi to make it appear that there was a connection between Publix, Florida’s largest grocery store chain and a $100,000 donation to DeSantis’ campaign.

Jeff Dunetz in a column on The Lid blog comments:

“What 60 Minutes didn’t disclose was something that those who don’t follow Florida politics closely wouldn’t know — Publix was criticized in 2018 for their massive $670,000 in donations to DeSantis’s primary challenger, Adam Putnam. Admittedly, Publix donates more to Republicans, but according to OpenSecrets.org, 37 % of the Publix Super Market PAC donations went to Democrats in 2019-2020. If you look at the overall spending, their political spending is only a shade more for Republicans at 53.85 % versus Democrats at 46.15 %.”

Dunetz adds:

“The CBS News program is facing intense backlash for deceptively editing an exchange DeSantis had with “60 Minutes” correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, regarding a narrative she pushed alleging the grocery store chain Publix was rewarded with vaccine distribution rights after contributing $100,000 to his campaign. However, the report also appeared to condemn his decision to vaccinate the elderly in his state over younger frontline workers. Alfonsi went even further by casting doubt on DeSantis’ reasoning behind that decision, which was that seniors were the most vulnerable to the virus.”

This pay-to-play suggestion is so stupid that Democratic Party State Representative and Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, Jared Moskowitz, calls it “absolute malarkey.” It wasn’t even DeSantis who first selected Publix.

Publix has also called the suggestion “absolutely false and offensive.”

“The irresponsible suggestion that there was a connection between campaign contributions made to Governor DeSantis and our willingness to join other pharmacies in support of the state’s vaccine distribution efforts is absolutely false and offensive,” a Publix representative said. “We are proud of our pharmacy associates for administering more than 1.5 million doses of vaccine to date and for joining other retailers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia to do our part to help our communities emerge from the pandemic,” the Publix spokesperson told Fox News.

Elected Palm Beach County Commissioner Dave Kerner a Democrat, who also serves as the honorary mayor, issued a statement blasting the 60 Minutes report:

“I watched the 60 Minutes segment on Palm Beach County last night and feel compelled to issue this statement. The reporting was not just based on bad information - it was intentionally false. I know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County’s vaccination efforts and 60 Minutes declined. They know that the governor came to Palm Beach County and met with me and the county administrator and we asked to expand the state’s partnership with Publix to Palm Beach County. We also discussed our own local plans to expand mass vaccinations centers throughout the county, (of) which the governor has been incredibly supportive. We asked and he delivered. They had that information, and they left it out because it kneecaps their narrative.

“We have confronted this pandemic for over a year. Our residents, like all Americans, are tired. And the media is making it worse. They are hellbent on dividing us for cheap views and clicks. 60 Minutes should be ashamed. I thank the governor for supporting the residents of Palm Beach County.

“Because of his efforts, working in coordination with Palm Beach County officials, over 275,000 seniors in our county-which is over 75 % of the total senior population have been vaccinated. I am proud of how our county and state leadership have executed on this important mission, and the results speak for themselves.”

The corporate media targeted DeSantis because so many Republicans want him to run in 2024. Buckle up, there will be many more of these hit-pieces by the Democrat Pravda in the next couple of years, hoping to destroy the DeSantis reputation via death by a thousand paper cuts, Dunetz says.

As we pointed out earlier, most “news” on the major media is false today.

Anyone wanting accurate information should avoid them.
