Lesley Stahl

In light of the very belated admission by the New York Times that the Hunter Biden laptop and the emails on it are authentic, it is a good time to watch how CBS's Lesley Stahl vociferously denied it could be verified during an October 2020 60 Minutes interview with President Donald Trump.

“Dirty tricks” was a term used to describe the behavior of operatives within the Nixon administration to smear the reputations of opponents and undermine the appeal of certain politicians. Fifty years ago, these dirty tricks included a false allegation that Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson (D-WA.) had fathered an illegitimate child with a 17-year-old girl and the break-in at Democratic National…

According to a recent filing by Special Counsel John Durham, it turns out Trump was being spied on after all — both as a candidate in 2016 and as President of the United States — by operatives paid by Clinton campaign associates. In addition to being an explosive revelation in its own right, this is also very embarrassing news for the media, who have repeated endlessly that nobody spied on the…

In the latest case of liberal-on-liberal friendly fire, CBS News and 60 Minutes found itself under the gun Sunday and Monday for the crime of engaging in actual, balanced journalism with longtime correspondent Lesley Stahl reporting on transgender people and how some who’ve changed their gender have had second thoughts.

After CBS’s 60 Minutes aired a lengthy glowing profile back in October of the anti-Trump group of ex-Republican grifters know as The Lincoln Project, on Sunday, the broadcast only managed a 47-second “update” informing viewers that the organization was now plagued by scandal, including co-founder John Weaver being accused of sexual harassment by multiple men.

Where was this 60 Minutes before the 2020 presidential election? On Sunday, co-host Lesley Stahl grilled Nancy Pelosi, telling the House Speaker that she has no “mandate” on policy and hitting the Democrat for not being a compromiser with Republicans. Stahl even brought up Pelosi’s obstruction of the COVID release bill.

Vanity Fair media reporter Joe Pompeo speculated on Friday how the lives of reporters would improve if Donald Trump lost. “For political reporters burned out on Trumpian chaos, is a news-cycle slowdown coming? A Biden presidency would likely be quieter—no predawn Twitter rants, “enemy of the people” attacks, or endless scandal—and also less leaky.”

During Norah O’Donnell’s portion of 60 Minutes Sunday evening, the CBS anchor brushed past Joe Biden’s corruption scandal, only asking one majorly loaded question about it to the Democratic candidate. 

The hosts of The View slammed President Trump for pre-releasing the CBS interview he did with 60 Minutes’ correspondent Lesley Stahl yesterday, before it airs on television this Sunday, because it exposed how biased the journalist was. 

During an interview with CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl for a segment scheduled to air on Sunday’s 60 Minutes, President Trump repeatedly called out the left-wing journalist for refusing to cover the corruption scandal swirling around Joe and Hunter Biden. In a video of the entire exchange that the President posted to Facebook on Thursday, Stahl can be heard denying that any Biden…
