CBS’s 60 Minutes Piece on ‘Fake News’ Ends Up Being ‘Fake News’

Guest post by Joe Hoft

Last night CBS’s ’60 Minutes’ presented a segment on ‘#Fake News’.  In their piece, the far left group of hacks known as “60 Minutes” interviewed pro-Trump Twitter legend Mike Cernovich the founder of Danger and Play in the segment.

This #FakeNews segment on 60 Minutes is the latest ploy by the left to shut down conservative voices who speak the truth.

The leftist “60 Minutes” hacks first interviewed some buffoon during their segment who admitted to creating false news stories during the 2016 election. They could just have easily invited on reporters from CNN, NBC, The Washington Post and New York Times for that segment. Then they interviewed Mike Cernovich — in the same segment.

One of the two articles posted by Cernovich that 60 Minutes considered #FakeNews was related the Hillary Clinton’s health during her campaign.  Cernovich noted that a physician reported that Hillary had Parkinson’s disease.  Rather than look at the information available during the campaign or since, 60 Minutes determined in their infinite knowledge that Hillary did not indeed have Parkinson’s because her campaign told them so.

Cernovich stumped “journalist” Scott Pelley.  Apparently 60 Minutes believed that Hillary was in tip-top form and was not sick when she collapsed at Ground Zero and had to be chucked in her Scooby van like a side of beef.

Mike Cernovich had an epic response:

 

During the campaign we provided many posts which showed that Hillary was sick.  It didn’t take much.  All one had to do was search the Internet for pictures and videos of Hillary.

 Hillary Clinton was dishonest about many things during the campaign including her health. During the primary season Hillary had some sort of seizure or attack during a stop at a coffee shop.  She blamed it on her chai tea.  60 Minutes didn’t report this.

The AP reporter who was there stated that she was not horrified by Hillary’s seizure, but her face showed a different story.  WikiLeaks later uncovered that the reporter, Lisa Lerer, was one of many reporters who dined at Clinton campaign manager John Podesta’s house, diminishing her account of the event.

Hillary was seen being carried up steps on a different occasion.  60 Minutes didn’t report this.

In one campaign event, Hillary suddenly froze and forgot where she was at and continued with a totally different train of thought. This was about the time that people on social media began to notice a large black man at her side.  He then began popping up all over the place.  Some thought that we was some sort of doctor or handler.   60 Minutes didn’t report this.

After all these episodes the Hillary campaign continued to argue that there was nothing wrong with Hillary, but then she attended the 9-11 ceremony in New York City. Unfortunately for her campaign, Hillary got really sick and left the event. She ended up losing control of her body, passing out, losing her shoe and had to be thrown into her car like a side of beef!  60 Minutes did show this but they agreed with her campaign that she had pneumonia. 

Hillary’s doctor Lisa Bardack came out after Hillary’s 9-11 collapse to declare for a second time that Hillary’s health was fine.  But like everything surrounding Hillary this was clearly not the case.  71% of doctors in an Internet survey responded that concerns about Hillary Clinton’s health are serious and could be disqualifying for the position of President of the US.  60 Minutes didn’t report the results of this survey.

FOX Business News next shared a video of Hillary’s coughing fits.  60 Minutes didn’t report this either.

An email released by WikiLeaks showed Hillary’s campaign team strategizing about hiding Hillary’s poor health issues.  Another report by a British paper discussed Hillary’s floating eyeball which it was suggested could indicate some very serious issues.  In addition, our research showed that Hillary participated in only 11 campaign rallies in both September and October which are very low numbers for a candidate running for President.  (Trump had 59 during the same time period.)

Finally, WikiLeaks released an email from her team stating that Hillary was drunk in the afternoon and indicating someone should call her so she can sober up.  60 Minutes never reported any of this.

The media has not done its job in reporting accurately on Hillary’s terrible health and 60 Minutes should be ashamed.  Those in the media who said something were punished.  (Dr. Drew on CNN had his show cancelled shortly after questioning Hillary’s health.)

Now the same news outlet that gave us the Benghazi Fake News story and Rathergate considers itself the purveyors of truth – Hardly.  60 Minutes just wanted to damage a good man (Cernovich) who was more honest and courageous in reporting on Hillary’s health than they ever will be.
