After CNN's Clooney-Play Show, Anderson Cooper Coos Over Scott Pelley's 'Courage' #Political

https://ift.tt/VX28hjL


It was biased enough for CNN to air a live Broadway performance of George Clooney's Broadway play Good Night and Good Luck, which glorifies 1950s CBS left-wing hack Edward R. Murrow attacking anti-communist Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) as an anti-Trump #Resistance ploy. David Marcus at Fox News called it "breathtakingly sanctimonious."

But that breathtaking sanctimony extended to the pre-play and post-play coverage. After it was over, in an hour they unsubtly titled "Truth and Power," Anderson Cooper brought on 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley for a promotional interview about his anti-Trump commencement speech at Wake Forest. Cooper gently asked him if was nervous about doing it while "there's a lawsuit by the President based on unfounded allegations."

Liberals constantly defend their trashy liberal attacks with bluster about freedom of speech. When Pelley gave a pompous speech comparing the Trump era to the Civil War and Pearl Harbor, it's apparently not freedom of speech to describe this as pompous nonsense. He told Cooper "there was a little bit of hysteria among some about this speech. And I simply ask you, what does it say about our country when there's hysteria about a speech that's about freedom of speech?"

Cooper would never point out that Pelley might pose as a courageous antagonist to Trump, but there's also the other half of CBS and 60 Minutes, the ones that pour "syrupy minutes" on Democrats, including Pelley's soft-shoe shuffles with President Biden. 

Cooing Cooper pointed out Pelley has won more than 50 Emmy awards, and wrapped up by asking this set-up: "Do you still believe in journalism? Do you still believe in the role of journalists?"

Before the play, Brian Stelter talked to Pamela Brown outside the theater. "The parallels are downright eerie. We are talking about the exact same themes today that Murrow was experiencing in the 1950s. Journalistic courage in an age, in a climate of fear. Corporate leaders perhaps being timid, not sure how to handle government pressure, whether to stand up or back down."

At a time when the networks offer coverage of the Trump administration that's 92 percent negative, how are they selling that journalists are fearful of attacking Trump? Couldn't Stelter take a page from Jake Tapper and see the parallels in how Biden's decline was covered up because of timid corporate media leaders "not sure how to handle government pressure"?
