As we’ve been reporting, CBS News has been busy nuking any sense of credibility they had left these past few weeks, deceptively editing a Kamala Harris “60 Minutes” interview, then refusing to release a full transcript despite a massive public outcry.

However, it would seem that they’re not done humiliating themselves, and on Wednesday night, anchor Norah O’Donnell debased herself further by delivering such a stupid, divisive opening to her supposedly serious network news show that it probably caused some viewers to choke.

Quickly, the background: a comedian made a joke about Puerto Rico's trash issues at a Trump rally Sunday, and the media has been obsessing it over endlessly. Meanwhile, the president of the free world, Joe Biden, called half of America “garbage,” and that same media has gone into full-damage control mode trying to clean it up.

Here’s Norah’s brilliant take [emphasis mine]:

“Former President Donald Trump was in North Carolina earlier, and tonight he’s also in Wisconsin,” O’Donnell [said]. “He landed in Green Bay just a short time ago, and pulled, then, this campaign stunt, speaking to reporters from a garbage truck, proof that he and his supporters are giving no grace to a gaffe by President Biden, where he in his explanation, inadvertently called Trump supporters garbage.”

They’re giving no grace for Biden calling Americans trash?! This has got to be a parody. We’re less than a week out from what is probably the most important election in most of our lifetimes, and Trump is supposed to “give grace” to an octogenarian, cognitively impaired president who just insulted half the electorate?

What is she smoking? Must be some powerful stuff. Curtis Houck of Newsbusters didn’t seem impressed:

CBS's Norah O'Donnell opens the 'CBS Evening News' mad about Trump's garbage truck "stunt" and that people are "giving" Biden any "no grace" for calling Trump supporters "garbage" last night:

You would also figure Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist would take note, and she didn’t disappoint:

CBS News and @NorahODonnell are just STRAIGHT UP unfiltered and subliterate propagandists now.

They still have not released the 60 Minutes transcript, continuing to hide whatever really happened there. https://t.co/PIOLDdv3jj

This is the corrupt press we’re dealing with:

The media and the Kamala campaign are butthurt because Joe Biden just gave Trump a fantastic gift in the waning days of a startingly tight election—and the once and hopefully future president capitalized as only he could. Kamala, Tim Walz, Hillary Clinton, et al. are delivering almost daily some of the most divisive rhetoric we’ve ever seen—Trump’s a Nazi, Republicans are fascists, Trump wants to outlaw interracial marriage (seriously)—yet when Joe Biden makes one of the most gaffe-tastic flubs in recent election memory, fraudulent CBS wants Trump to “show grace” and what—simply let him off the hook? C’mon man, that’s serious malarkey, not a joke.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so despicable. I hope I can laugh about it, however, on Wednesday, November 6.

Let’s all make sure we do our part. Oh, and one last reminder, though: you can’t hate the media enough.
