CBS has settled the lawsuit brought by President Trump over the creative editing they did with their Kamala Harris interview during the 2024 election. It’s widely believed that the network settled because they did not want Trump’s lawyers to be able to start digging through their internal documents and communications.
During this period of discovery, Trump’s lawyers may have found something even worse and the media couldn’t have that.
One thing that did come out of the lawsuit however, is a claim that when 60 Minutes interviewed President Biden in 2023, he was supposedly drowsy and had to be ‘prodded’ into giving answers. He really is Sleepy Joe. Did Trump call it or what?
NYT’s James Stewart: “Ms. Redstone said CBS personnel had told her that in October 2023, when Scott Pelley of “60 Minutes” interviewed President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the president had seemed drowsy and had to be prodded to answer.”https://t.co/Qv6Hz7bsgA pic.twitter.com/YzPBRXcR4a

From the Washington Free Beacon:
Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes interviewed Biden in October 2023, around the same time as the former president’s sit-down with Special Counsel Robert Hur, who later described Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning old man with a poor memory.”
Pelley described Biden differently. He attributed any physical or mental problems Biden exhibited during the interview to “a rough week.”
“Biden will be 81 next month,” Pelley said, “and he has said that when he’s tired his lifelong stutter can creep back in, but he wedged us into his schedule to express his commitment to Israel after the massacre of more than a thousand civilians eight days ago.” Redstone told the Times that CBS staffers privately described Biden as “drowsy” during the interview and noted that he “had to be prodded to answer.”
What this confirms is that the media knew what everyone knew about Joe Biden. That his mental capacity was diminished. Yet they all lied and covered it up in an effort to prevent Trump from being reelected. We all knew this but it’s good to get confirmation.
