Seems pretty newsy that it's all being revealed the President of the United States was an invalid, and while he was in office, Russia invaded Ukraine and will bog us down for years because of it.
Feel like these are the questions currently being ignored.
Seems pretty newsy that we're learning the President was senile during a catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan that saw 13 service members killed and the Taliban back in control.
He took 6 questions in 4 years about it.
This is why the media's role in all of this cannot be washed away after a couple of books.
It's why "Just a couple of aides we aren't going to name" isn't good enough and it's why all of these people need to be hauled in front of Congress.
The opposite is actually happening. The right was calling out the lack of media coverage on Fetterman while he was running and babbling nonsensically through a debate.
The right isn't *defending* John Fetterman. We're just asking about the curious, sudden timing, and neither Chait nor anyone else can answer how he's changed from 2022, to now.
It's about Israel, and EVERYONE knows it. Chait and the media are the ones who have to explain why they didn't cover his health back then, but are so eager to do so now.
All they have to do, Kara Swisher in particular, is answer what's the difference between John Fetterman from 2 years ago, and John Fetterman now.
They won't do it.
No one on the right is actually saying, "John Fetterman is sharp and fit behind closed doors."
We're just noticing the obvious hit job against him.
Federal employees being completely lost in the dark policy-wise without being informed by whatever Politico is publishing is the tell of all tells here.
"How will federal agencies direct policy without Politico's invaluable directions?"
So we're clear here, this is a progressive journalist admitting that they believe their job is to shape how policymakers think in federal agencies, on things like abortion, climate, etc.. and without them, these employees would be lost in the woods.
Here are the two different 60 Minutes edits layered on top of each other in full. You will hear where Whitaker's questions line up, and the different edited answers from Harris.
SC 1842 (bottom) is what aired on Monday night.
SC 1843.5 (top) is what the Face the Nation X account previewed on October 6th.
Besides inserting a different response from Harris, CBS edited out everything about Harris defending Israel from Hamas and Hezbollah and their right to do so.
The tracks time up almost exactly. This was not "edited for time" as CBS and 60 Minutes will likely claim.
