Lie-Able Sources Podcast: Pelley's Pretentiousness, Platner's Prevarications, Pratt's Pillaged Politics

Your source to mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malarkey. 

The Scott Pelley saga has mercifully come to a close, as the vaunted newsman went out in a blaze of self-glorifying martyrdom. As a swan song of sorts, Pelley sat in with Lulu Garcia Navarro of The New York Times, and he was at his insufferable best. Among the golden nuggets of wisdom he dropped:

  • Being fired from “60 Minutes” was like seeing his spouse murdered.

  • Unlike President Trump, Pelley had been in combat.

  • He compared news program offices to barracks in the military

  • Bari Weiss tried to force him to say Renée Goode had tried to strike the ICE officer with her vehicle, seemingly ignorant that there is body-cam footage of him being struck.

  • Said he saw no proof of the public losing faith in the press, despite years of polling showing this to be the case.

His histrionics and melodramatics were on full display in this performance, including getting choked up on behalf of his coworkers. 

We then look at the way Senate candidate Graham Platner is being covered as he went on to win the Democratic primary in Maine. We are told this is a significant rebuke of all the attempted character hits on the man, despite the fact that he essentially ran unopposed. So yes, the media continues backing this mess of a man. And in the Los Angeles mayoral election, the usual extended counting process has led to the usual questionable returns, and has inspired the usual media apathy.

Now, crack one open and savor some outmoded media malpractice and misinformation.
