Catherine Herridge @C__Herridge - Media Transparency
Last year, I called for more transparency @60Minutes about its October 2023 interview with President Biden.
Now we learn via @nytimes even the owner Shari Redstone had concerns.
Releasing the raw video and transcripts from the Biden interview would address the larger question of whether there is a pattern and practice @CBSNews of heavy-handed editing to make some politicians look better and other politicians look worse. In this case, did editing conceal President Biden’s cognitive decline?
As the senior investigative correspondent at CBS News, I was assigned to the Hunter Biden story.
I was told by George Cheeks the reporting was a high priority for the network and for his boss, Redstone, who wanted more balanced coverage on CBS.
I was stunned by the obstruction and bias of some senior CBS News executives who resisted the balanced coverage Redstone had called for.
Via @nytimes
Redstone: “We needed more balance.”
"Ms. Redstone said CBS personnel had told her that in October 2023, when Scott Pelley of “60 Minutes” interviewed President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the president had seemed drowsy and had to be prodded to answer. She and Tyler worried that CBS might be accused of editing the interview to conceal Mr. Biden’s failings.
“This case was never as black-and-white as people assumed,” Ms. Redstone said.
One person who witnessed the interview in person, and another who recently reviewed the raw footage, said the Redstones’ concerns about the Biden interview were overblown. Mr. Biden gave some typically circuitous answers, but he never had to be prodded, they said. On air, Mr. Pelley characterized Mr. Biden as seeming “tired.”
A spokesman for CBS declined to comment."

I appreciate this but America is a protestant nation, Catholics are my brothers in Christ but their sect has been seen as a foreign religion for much of the nation's history
American values were inherently protestant, you may not like that but it is clearly true, you do not draw closer to the American tradition by becoming Catholic
There has always been a level of toleration of Catholicism (see Maryland) and they have been woven into the larger American story, but it is not, nor will it ever be, the dominate denomination in the US (unless you want to try the plan of some Catholics to bring in as many adherents illegally from Latin America as possible)
This is not an attack on Catholics, if I was a Southern Baptist living it Italy I would not be offended if someone asserted that my faith was not fundamentally Italian in nature
If you feel that is the church you should really be in then no argument over America heritage will sway you, but if the discussion is about the origin of the American tradition and where to find it the answer is clearly protestant
You might be tempted to say this is the core problem with America, maybe you're even right, but this only highlights the fact that this is a faith from outside the American tradition, not the bedrock of it
