NEW: CBS News is reporting fake news and is pushing pro-Israel propaganda, claims Former CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega
Former CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega said she was pressured by the network's new leadership to include misinformation and political bias in stories that aired this year, ABC News reports.
Vega alleged that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, a self-declared “Zionist fanatic,” and other executives pushed her to report on events that "never happened" and sought to inject political bias into several segments.
In one case she was asked to describe Iran as being "outgunned by the United States and Israel," which she called "an administration talking point."
CBS has denied the allegations, stating they are "not based in reality."
Vega was among several prominent 60 Minutes journalists dismissed from the program earlier this year.

To be fair, they were using the money to support the Contras against the Sandanistas back then. The Cold War and all that bullshit.
No, he's a salesman. Some argue that selling words and ideas is more lucrative than selling guns and bullets.
They're saving their soldiers and bullets for the civil war. It's also why they kicked out all the black folks out.
Yeah, a snake oil salesman. He tells the Fox News audience what they want to hear.
No, he's selling the customer what they want to buy. It's why I get confused that people who aren't interested in Fox’s product claims they're watching it as reconnaissance.
This is where it all started with Trump/GOP and what their Dark Money Donors want this country to be.
Pretty informative video.
1960s. Rich Baby Boomers Who Never Questioned Authority

In this video I am presenting clips from the classic 1966 documentary "Sixteen At Webster Groves - Webster Groves Missouri. It was produced by filmmaker Arthur Barron who I was honored to work for on several of his films. Webster Groves is clearly not typical as its teenagers were upper-middle-class and richer.
Remember that about 40% of the huge baby boomer generation say that they participated in the activities of the 1960s. This video presents the views of a portion of the 60% who didn't participate and who essentially looked forward to living just like their parents did. I would not call them typical teenagers but they are certainly representative of a group who was just fine in the 1950s.
Many commentators talk about the fact that they would rather have lived during this time and then one of these people then to live in today's world which they see as trash relative to how these people lived. Although I did not spend much time working on this production, I did some film work with upper middle-class white 1960s baby boomer era teenagers and their attitudes and behavior we're not dissimilar from what teenagers felt in the 1950s in the suburban white “American dream" middle class.
There were many rebels who looked like other teenagers at that time but were not. I remember a conversation that I had with the producer where he said that in this community, there seem to be almost no rebels.
It would certainly be fascinating to talk to these people today but unfortunately, I don't have the names of any of the people who participated in this film. Hopefully some will watch this clip and choose to comment.

He is either dead or brain dead
Considering he's a staunch Republican, he's been brain-dead for a long time.

In .y opinion, I think this is part of the white supremacists way to further depopulate the planet.
The deregulation of the water,air and food supply. And now this, is going to wreck havoc on the middle class and poor.
Nah they aren't that smart. They are just greedy. Deregulation is about letting companies get away with destroying the planet for profit. The reduction in aide is so they can give more money to the defense lobby. Ain't no poor people lobby and unless people vote against it politicians follow the money.
