CBS News delivered a veep debate riddled with falsehoods and lacking in fact-checking

Salon  

Two old statements haunted my thoughts during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between Republican nominee Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Minnesota Gov. The first was an off-the-cuff remark that CBS’ former top executive Les Moonves said about Donald Trump’s late entry into the presidential race more than eight years ago: “The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he told a roomful of suits attending that year’s Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco. O’Donnell, the CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor, and Brennan, CBS News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent and the moderate for "Face the Nation,” bear no responsibility for their former boss’ moral rot. Brennan got under Vance’s skin and he tried to pivot away from directly answering whether Trump’s plan for mass deportations would include separating children of undocumented migrants from their families, including those born on American soil, by incorrectly defining the Haitian migrants in Springfield, OH., as part of the “millions of illegal immigrants” supposedly destroying American lives. But something else “The Last Word” host pointed out then is acutely relevant to Tuesday’s performance by CBS News: Most of the questions at that conference “were terrible, the silliest possible questions you could ask."
