State-Run TV: 60 Minutes Drools Over Biden in Syrupy Interview
Sep 19, 2022 20:58:23 #
On Sunday night, President Joe Biden sat down for an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley. From the very start, it was clear why Biden chose Pelley to conduct his first sit-down interview in months. Right out of the gate and until the last minute, Pelley gushed and sucked up to Biden in embarrassing fashion.
“Summer was going so well for the President, the White House threw a party last week with a concert by James Taylor. Mr. Biden's streak began in June when he signed a bipartisan gun safety law,” Pelley said with stars in his eyes in a desperate attempt not to drool all over the studio floor.
“Then in August, over Republican objections, he signed the largest investment ever on climate change, a minimum tax on corporations, a law to lower prescription drug prices, and student loan forgiveness,” Pelley continued.
Once Pelley was finished with his servile opening introduction for Biden, he began by asking the President a series of questions about the economic calamity Biden has caused. Although, Pelley didn’t frame it that way.
Instead, Pelley let Biden get away with his lies on the economy and his refusal to admit the United States is in a recession.
“With the Federal Reserve rapidly raising interest rates, what can you do to prevent a recession?” Pelley asked Biden with the premise of the question being that Biden’s recession denialism is reality.
Later on, the camera cut to the two walking together inside the hall of the Detroit Auto Show. According to Pelley, this led him to ask if the pandemic is over.
Biden responded that “the pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it.”
“If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape,” Biden said cavalierly. One has to wonder if he consulted Dr. Tony Fauci before making these remarks.
One surprising moment came when Pelley actually challenged Biden on his abysmal approval ratings. “Your approval rating in the country is well below 50 percent. And I wonder why you think that is,” Pelley asked.
Biden took Pelley’s question as an opportunity to blame the situation he inherited and the pandemic. “When I got in office, when I got elected, only 2 million people had been vaccinated. I got 220 million -- my point is it takes time. We were left in a very difficult situation. It's been a very difficult time, very difficult,” Biden whined.
Feeling bad for Biden, Pelley attempted to make his viewers feel bad for poor Joe Biden and the “difficult life” the millionaire President has:
PELLEY: And a difficult life for the President. In 1972 he lost his wife and daughter in a car accident. He lost his son, Beau, to cancer in 2015 at the age of 46. And his son, Hunter, has been a lightning rod for suspicion. Hunter Biden's former addiction to crack cocaine led to a life he describes as nonstop depravity.
He has also acknowledged a federal investigation into his taxes. Congress investigated Hunter Biden's job with a Ukrainian company at the time that his father ran Ukrainian policy in the Obama administration. A Republican investigation, however, uncovered no wrongdoing by then Vice President Biden.
Back in the Oval Office for the final part of the softball interview, Pelley cried to Biden by warning him that if he runs again in 2024 “Republicans are most likely to go after your son Hunter once again.”
Biden responded by claiming: “there's not a single thing that I've observed at all from that that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter.”
In another hard-hitting question, Pelley groveled before Biden’s feet and heaped praise: “you have lived a long life of triumph and tragedy. In November, you'll be 80. And I wonder what it is that keeps you in the arena.” Biden responded that he keeps a rosary in his pocket to get through his grief.
Pelley announced to the audience without laughing at himself that pro-abortion Biden is “Catholic and devout.”
This kind of media praise would make state-controlled media in North Korea blush. Pelley would make a terrific “news anchor” at a North Korean or Chinese state media outlet.
