Scott Pelley took another minute tonight to go on the record that Trump is spouting stuff that's just not true. (It was his claim about a record high in the murder rate when America is actually near a record low.)
No drama, no defensiveness — just a calm reciting of facts. Real facts. No “Democrats today took issue with the President over...” one side-other siderism.
It’s sad that it's taking so long for the press to rediscover what journalism used to be about. Here's hoping Pelley can keep it up, and his colleagues will join in.
Better late than never, but not too late let's hope.
Drop your local CBS affiliate a note of thanks, and to CBS as well. You know they can use the positive feedback, and the haters will be calling for a boycott real soon now.
