Newly-minted CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil was reportedly
caught on tape caving to President Trump's demands after Press
Secretary Karoline Leavitt threatened that the administration
'will sue' if they didn't comply.
Dokoupil, 45, took over the network's flagship nightly news
broadcast earlier this year with a rocky start, as critics
accused him of softening coverage on the president.
Following an interview with Trump last week, Dokoupil was
reportedly threatened by Leavitt to play the full 13 minute
conversation un-edited, or the White House would 'sue your
a** off.'
According to a recording obtained by the New York Times,
Leavitt issued the blunt warning after the interview concluded,
telling Dokoupil and his producers: '(Trump) said, "Make sure
you guys don't cut the tape, make sure the interview is
out in full.'''
'Yeah, we're doing it, yeah,' Dokoupil replied, according to
the report.
'He said, "If itrCOs not out in full, werCOll sue your a** off,"'
Leavitt added.
. . .
"Creative editing" of interviews - designed to be
propaganda, not info - has become a big thing. It's
not only the USA either, the BBC scandal is still
fresh in mind.
"Creative editing" is a back-door form of CENSORSHIP,
intended to limit thinking for political ends.
