CBS’s Lesley Stahl: Biden Laptop Can’t Be Verified ‘Because It Can’t Be Verified’

Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS. Tonight’s anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse! #MAGA https://t.co/ETDJzMQg8X

Trump Releases ‘60 Minutes’ Interview With Lesley Stahl Ahead of Time

CBS News accuses Trump of disregarding an agreement

By Jack Phillips, Epoch Times October 22, 2020

President Donald Trump released the entirety of a recent “60 Minutes” interview with anchor Lesley Stahl on Thursday morning, decrying the “rudeness” and “hatred” during the questioning.

The president posted an unedited video of his interview on social media. CBS News was slated to air the interview on Sunday night.

“We’ve done a great job, and it’s not finished yet,” Trump said when he was asked about issues plaguing the United States and why he chose to run for reelection. The president said that if he wins in 2020, he’ll continue to attempt to advance the U.S. economy, saying that Joe Biden will “raise taxes,” “take away your Second Amendment,” and push other “radical” policies.

Hours later, CBS News, in a statement, described Trump’s move to release the interview as an “unprecedented decision.” The broadcaster went on to say that “60 Minutes” will provide its “full, fair and contextual reporting,” while defending Stahl as a journalist with considerable experience.

The network, which is owned by Viacom Inc., will release Trump’s interview on Sunday night but stipulated that the White House made a “decision to disregard their agreement with CBS News and release the footage.”

At the end of the interview, Trump said that Stahl “brought up a lot of subjects that were inappropriate … right from the beginning,” claiming that Stahl misled him when she “set up the interview.”

“I saw your interview with Joe Biden … it was a joke,” he said, adding that he got questions that were “softball after softball.”

When Trump was asked about the economy, he said his administration “created the greatest economy in the history of the United States.” She said, “You know that’s not true. No … I’m not going to fact-check [you].”

“You would never say that to Biden,” Trump told Stahl.

“What’s the priority” for his next administration, Stahl asked him several times. Trump again said he wants to boost the economy.

At one point, Stahl asked Trump about his recent rally joke about suburban women, saying he said “will you please like me?’” Trump responded that she failed to detect sarcasm in his response and “the way you said that is why people think of you and everyone else as fake news,” adding, “That’s so misleading.”

Trump and Biden are slated to hold the second and final debate on Thursday night. NBC News reporter Kristen Welker will moderate the debate. Trump said that Welker would be “worse” than Stahl when he released the more than 30-minute long interview.

Throughout the interview, Trump continued to tout his record on handling the CCP virus and economy. Later, he said he would announce his health care plan after the Supreme Court rules on the Affordable Care Act in mid-November.

CBS News, on Twitter, said Trump was being asked questions “before cutting his interview short,” adding that “60 Minutes” “has a history of asking tough questions of presidential candidates during the run-up to the election.”

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Wednesday disputed CNN’s reporting that Trump abruptly cut short an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” that was slated for broadcast on Oct. 25.

“Well, he didn’t walk out,” Meadows told Fox Business on Oct. 21. “He spent over 45 minutes with [CBS correspondent] Lesley Stahl. I’ve looked at every single minute of the interview and then some. We have tape of every single minute.”

In response, CBS News said Stahl wore a mask inside the White House and greeted Trump. She removed the mask when the interview began, and socially distanced due to the CCP virus pandemic, the network said.

A CBS News spokesperson told Fox News that Trump cut short the interview and didn’t do a “walk and talk” with himself and Vice President Mike Pence at the White House, which CBS said was previously scheduled.

The spokesperson said a photo of Stahl without a mask was taken immediately after the interview. Trump had posted the photo on Twitter.

If you are going to watch this interview, watch this one! Stahl is rude, obstinate, whinny, in denial and biased. It’s unedited. After they air the edited interview, I’m sure others will write about how they manipulated it to make Trump look bad.

Yore is referring to the fact that Joe and Jill Biden knew very well that Hunter was abusing kids. 18 U.S. Code § 4 – Misprision of felony | U.S. Code | US …

After seeing the way Wallace, Guthrie, Stahl and this whore on NBC behaved tonight, the cat is out of the bag. Anyone who treated the monkey or Hitlery this way would be finished for life. The rage on the right will start increasing if it looks like the cheating by the left gets worse and worse, which it will.

Not a freaking thing. What they are screaming about now(among other things) is their absolute fear they have when the other side rises up if the dems are caught cheating, after all the violence their side has been responsible for in the last 7-8 months.

I do but it keeps changing names and reappearing. What happened to the editors that are always there if you use even a mild expletive?

BAM! POW! SLAM! Trump spanked that bi*ch, Stahl! He nailed it! What a hateful woman she is. Every valid point he tried to make, she countered with ‘that hasn’t been verified.’ ‘Hey Stahl, all thinking Americans don’t buy the sh*t you and your fellow travelers are peddling.’

It’s amazing how the Left have such a strong sense of morals… when there is something on Biden, they absolutely can’t report on it because their ethical standard prevents them from reporting on things they can’t verify. Of course, they can’t verify something if they never intend to even attempt to verify, so therefore, it can’t be reported because they “can’t” verify it (because they aren’t going to bother verifying it).

It’s truly amazing that we have such upstanding reporters….

What’s also amazing is they must all have evil twins because if that laptop was Don Jr’s laptop, they’d be all over this just like they were with Russia gate… which can’t be verified as being a hoax… except the Muller report said there was no evidence… and all these emails that were obtained through FOIA shows they Obama cabinet (including Obama) were in on the conspiracy to spy on Trump… but… oh.. no!!! That can’t be verified… but all those issues with Russia that they were going after Trump for… that stuff in the dossier… which was unverifiable was apparently sufficiently verified? Right…

Fake news!

This is why so many Americans love Trump. I think God uses Trump to expose a bunch of truths to the American people so perhaps there would be a chance to renew this country and come back to Him before he lets all these criminals finally take us down for good.

Big Tech social controllers and the MSM are now insisting that the story of Hunter’s laptop revelations can’t be revealed as news because the laptop may have been hacked. In their view The Biden’s may be completely innocent! News relevant to the truth about these things must be suppressed and denied. Big Tech needs to be broken apart right now.

Terrific job by Mr Trump – he handled this Leftist like a champion debater. He trapped every lie, every falsity, every loaded question as it came out and refuted it on the spot. The biased propagandist in the other chair never stood a chance. POTUS had control all the way – then ended the ‘interview’ on his own terms.
Trump 1, Stahl 0. Yes!

Most people don’t realize how carefully edited these 60 Minutes and other shows are to fit the Left’s narrative. Trump put his OWN camera in the room and got the whole thing down. Guerilla tactics on the MSM.

I WILL NOT WATCH ANY MSM SHOW ON TRUMP. Why? SATAN is alive and well and living in the hearts and minds of liberals who hate Trump, including those in Hollywood and elsewhere.

IF you are NOT a VERY STRONG CHRISTIAN or person and you watch this or anything against Trump, you are actually giving Satan a door into your life because YOU KNOW what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears will be skewed with lies and half-truths by those leading the show and who are against Trump, yet you allow yourself to watch it. THAT IS HOW SATAN WORKS. Therefore, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING THE 60 MINUTES THAT CBS PUTS OUT. If you do watch it, you had better be prayed up and sanctified or GOD cannot protect you from spiritual demons who invade your home and life after that, subtly at first and then you will begin compromising and before you know it, you are back to your old life of sin. AND, you will wonder how you got there. REMEMBER SATAN IS CUNNING AND TRICKY AND THIS IS WHAT HE DOES, MAKING YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE OKAY.

CHRISTIANS, because America is in a time of evil progression, AIDING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY, SATAN, IS NOT WORTHY OF YOUR TIME. If you do watch it, YOU HAVE TOLD GOD YOU DON’T CARE. THAT IS ON YOU.

I think Trump planned out this whole show from the start, I mean everything. I am firmly convinced he planned to cut off the interview and release it ahead of them…..
GENIUS!!! Beating these devils at their own game…..MAGNIFICENT!!!!
