Thank God we have news outlets like CBS, whipping out the accurate information as quickly as possible, consistent with their stated intent of maintaining complete accuracy.

BTW, CBS is still publishing reports that the U.S. southern border is completely secure and under control, and that there is no crisis there.

IOW, the Bee does it again.

CBS News Officially Confirms That Lincoln Has Been Shot

Nov 22, 2022

NEW YORK, NY — This week, CBS News confirmed that Hunter Biden's laptop detailing illegal acts, including foreign financial entanglements that involved President Joe Biden, was indeed legitimate. The astute news station has also recognized that the story about Abraham Lincoln being assassinated is credible.

"It can be dangerous to rush to declare a story ‘true' when it has all the earmarks of Confederate Disinformation," said CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil to his viewer this week, defending the outlet's delay on confirming the veracity of the story. "Confirming a story too soon can mislead people. To keep the public informed, we are proud to have censored the story about Lincoln's death until a few hundred years – and while it's no longer relevant and all Lincoln's grandchildren are dead, we're glad we waited until we were sure the coast was clear."

CBS News has put out a press release regarding the timing of their breaking the Lincoln story, adding that waiting to gather all the relevant facts and avoiding jumping to conclusions helps keep the populace informed. "If the story about the 16th President's death turned out to be a hoax even 100 or 150 years after the fact, it could have unfairly helped Republicans in elections – and this is something our organization is sworn to resist."

I'm not believing it until ABC, and NBC confirms it first...or Dan Rather.

In other words, not until at least two years go by. Or for some stories, two centuries.

What's next for CBS and the Deny until you Die Lefty Fake News outlets?



I suppose that the Lincoln assassination story had to be approved by the Elites before it was let out?



Maybe soon we will be hearing their comments about the Grassy knoll and Kennedy?

CBS confirms booth shot Lincoln.

CBS takes action to interfere in the election and then tries to come clean and maintain credibility, still avoiding responsibility for their actions.

Not a matter of oops! it is a matter of deceit and impact.
