'60 Minutes' Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, Who Cried Foul Over Delayed Immigration Piece, Was Behind 'Intentionally False' Hit Piece on Ron DeSantis That Even Democrats Said Was Wrong

Alfonsi and Granados need to be Dan-Rathered!

Axios: 60 Minutes Lied About Trump Admin Response

Quelle surprise. Also unsurprising: Axios buries the lead here, although reporter Sara Fischer made sure to provide it on X/Twitter:
...
Readers have to get to the bottom of the (Axios) story before they, er, get to the bottom of the conflict between Bari Weiss and 60 Minutes' Sharyn Alfonsi:

Quote
Between the lines: According to a source familiar with "60 Minutes" correspondence with the administration, the "60 Minutes" team reached out to press officials at the White House, State Department and DHS, all of which provided comment to CBS News.

None of those comments, which varied in length and substance, were included in the piece viewed by Axios.

That's not a "between the lines" issue. That directly reveals why Weiss pulled the segment in the US. For some reason, however, the Alfonsi segment aired in Canada, which Fischer viewed. ...

What is clear is that Weiss turned out to be correct in her assessment of the segment. Weiss first responded to Alfons's claim about political motives for spiking the story by saying it "wasn't ready" for air. Weiss then sent a more specific memo to CBS News personnel laying out the reasons for the decision, which included the need to get principals on the record to address the allegations:
...
Money quote: "Tom Homan and Stephen Miller don't tend to be shy. I realized we've emailed the DHS spox, but we need to push much harder to get these principals on the record." Well, surprise again! According to Axios, Alfonsi did get principals to respond, including that same DHS spokesperson and more. Rather than include that input, Alfonsi not only lied in the segment about not getting a response, she or the producers of 60 Minutes misled CBS News management about it.

So Alfonsi, et al, lied in the 60 Minutes segment about not receiving responses from the WH, US State, and DHS, and repeated that lie to CBS management. Weiss yanking it from the US program saved CBS from at least some embarrassment (though airing it in Canada is at least odd ... there may be some unrevealed backstory to this). Alfonsi and Granados need to be Dan-Rathered for the lie in their segment and for lying to management!

BJ Clinton was a cross dresser? Or is that "the devil with the blue dress on" ?   Billy boy certainly had some strange peccadillos.  Perhaps he and Epstein couuld relate to each other with both alleged to have certain 'fruit like' genital deformaties.   :whistling:

Toxic fumes on planes blamed for pilot deaths, suicides and brain damage: report

https://nypost.com/2025/12/22/business/toxic-fumes-on-planes-blamed-for-pilot-deaths-suicides-and-brain-damage-report/

Toxic fumes leaking into commercial aircraft cabins are being blamed for catastrophic outcomes among flight crews — including fatal heart attacks, neurodegenerative disease, suicides and life-altering brain injuries, according to a report.

A Wall Street Journal investigation found that hundreds of pilots and flight attendants worldwide have reported serious illnesses linked to toxic “fume events,” with autopsies, medical records and mortality studies tying the exposure to an assortment of maladies up to and including death — even as the aviation industry disputes a direct causal link.

One of the most striking cases involved Ron Weiland, a 54-year-old American Airlines pilot who was in good physical shape when he abruptly lost coordination in late 2016 — just months after reporting an intense smell of engine oil and thick fog inside his Boeing 767 while taxiing at Miami International Airport.

Thanks! And :hi5: !

The claim was debunked in January 2020, but DUmmie Dustlawyer posted the false claim as fact some 6 years later. :rotf:

The claim was debunked in January 2020, but did Snopes really wait 3+ years to call the claim false?

Can a Playboy Playmate be defamed, at least in regard to moral matters?

If you have watched musicals made within the past 75 years, then whether you realize it or not you have seen many many Bob Fosse moves. The famous Broadway Barbara breaks down and explains many of the Bob Fosse moves. My personal favorite Bob Fosse move as revealed by Broadway Barbara is Fiddle Faddle from Conagra Foods.

Did someone try a little lawfare, suing Fox for committing truth?


It’s been a lie circulating for a long time. All of the news stations have reported false stories and have had to retract, but for some reason liberals all want to claim Fox News is now classified as entertainment. It just shows how DUmb they are.

New GDP Numbers Just Dropped, and Democrats Should Be Freaking Out

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/12/23/new-gdp-numbers-just-dropped-and-democrats-should-be-freaking-out-n4947430

Democrats just watched economic reality obliterate their favorite doomsday talking point. The U.S. economy grew at an amazing 4.3% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2025, blowing past expectations and handing the Trump administration a massive win heading into 2026.

“The U.S. economy grew at a much greater-than-expected pace in the third quarter, boosted by strong consumer spending, a delayed report released Tuesday showed,” CNBC reported Tuesday morning. “U.S. gross domestic product, a sum of all goods and services produced in the sprawling U.S. economy, expanded by 4.3% in the July-September period, the Commerce Department said in its initial reading of third-quarter growth. Economists polled by Dow Jones expect a gain of 3.2%.”

Maria Bartiromo underscored just how significant the number was on Fox Business. “We’re, we are looking right now at the GDP number at 4.3%,” she said. “This is the actual number, versus an estimate of 3.3%.” She then turned to Mark Tepper, CEO of Strategic Wealth Partners, for his take.

Tepper framed the report as part of a broader economic trend that has consistently surprised to the upside. “So, last week, we talked about inflation coming in lower than expected,” he said. “Now, economic growth is one full percentage point faster than expected. It was supposed to come in at 3.3, came in at 4.3. This is a direct result of everything President Trump has put in place.”

It's weird how the practical meaning of "unexpectedly" has reversed from what it meant during the OhBummer! MalAdministration.
