After the CBS news program 60 Minutes ran a fraudulent attack against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, accusing him of a pay-to-play scheme for vaccine rollout in Palm Beach County, the DEMOCRAT mayor of the county, Dave Kerner, eviscerates CBS with a statement saying “The reporting was not just based on bad information – it was intentionally false.”
Apparently the mayor of the county attempted to provide clarity to the false accusations of CBS; but the network refused to listen to him because they had a political agenda to broadcast and the truth of what Mayor Kerner could provide was against the interests of the network objective. Mayor Kerner full statement {HERE} and below:
“I watched the 60 Minutes segment on Palm Beach County last night and feel compelled to issue this statement. The reporting was not just based on bad information – it was intentionally false. I know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County’s vaccination efforts and 60 Minutes declined. They know that the Governor came to Palm Beach County and met with me and the County Administrator and we asked to expand the state’s partnership with Publix to Palm Beach County. We also discussed our own local plans to expand mass vaccinations centers throughout the county, which the Governor has been incredibly supportive.
We asked and he delivered. They had that information, and they left it out because it kneecaps their narrative.
We have confronted this pandemic for over a year. Our residents, like all Americans, are tired. And the media is making it worse. They are hellbent on dividing us for cheap views and clicks. 60 Minutes should be ashamed.
I thank the Governor for supporting the residents of Palm Beach County. Because of his efforts, working in coordination with Palm Beach County officials, over 275,000 seniors in our county-which is over 75% of the total senior population- have been vaccinated. I am proud of how our county and state leadership have executed on this important mission, and the results speak for themselves.”
Dave Kerner
County Mayor
In order for left-wing ideologues, including corporate media, to continue their attack narrative against the principle values of the United States, they have to pretend not to know things….
Telling a purposefully crafted lie, knowing it is a purposefully crafted lie to politically damage a state governor and thinking that you can sell it, is as daft and disgusting as it gets.
60 minutes of 60 IQ.
It is subversion including an object of usurpation.
Sue, Sue and Sue some more. Break them. Calling attorney L Lin Wood.
Agreed. Georgia and Florida have been defamed. I’d love to see the CEO’s of MLB, Coke and CBS answering questions before a jury. Remember Gawker!
DeSantis was a JAG lawyer. Do they realize who they are trying to smear?
God Bless and protect the fools who still listen to the MSM.
And thank God for conservative online blogs and commentary. Best place to get our news.

Always remember. Demonrats lie. They HAVE TO lie. They ALWAYS lie.
I have been listening to Michael Berry every morning for a couple of years. He is my favorite after Rush, of course! Berry is funny and a straight talker.

60 Minutes has been telling purposely crafted lies, half-truths and innuendo for a long, long, long…….long time.
Anyone who watches 60 Minutes expecting the truth is either fooling themselves, mostly ignorant, or happy to go along with 60 Minutes game.
I am astounded that a Democrat Mayor stood up to 60 Minutes so forcefully. Good on him.
May as well call them 60 seconds for how long it would take to assess the story, determine if there is any truth is to be had in this pile of crud, and dismiss in whole or in part the reporting as fake news.
This is the strategy that’s used by the media.
The liars count on you not doing your own homework.
It is very time and energy consuming to do your own research, in order to counter the lies and find the truth.
That, combined with confirmation bias, is what the media uses against the consumer in order to create truth out of lies.
Proud that an American who happens to be a Democrat is willing to tell the straight scoop. The first sign of hope I’ve seen that we might, MIGHT, find a way to live together again. Not likely, but perhaps a start.
And really, if he had plans that I agreed with 80% and was honest I would vote for him over any Rino. This is the type of Democrats that need to be elected. Work for commons goals and what we can accomplish without bickering. And then tackle the 20% to 30% of stuff we need to compromise on, give and take.
I honestly believe 85% of the American public can agree on 80% of things that need to be done. For instance, energy. Everyone wants cheaper energy costs. If “green energy” can provide the reliability and cost savings, then people will adapt it. I don’t think its an all or nothing. We need to build houses better that are tight, well sealed with the awesome high efficiency variable speed HVAC units that will keep your house at 50 degrees if you want and use less energy than what energy star tells you to set it at 78 degrees for energy usage.
We need to get over “cheap” stuff, we have cheap appliances that last a few years instead of buying high quality long lasting stuff that can be sold/given to someone else when you want to upgrade instead of throwing it away.
It isn’t that we need to “get over cheap stuff”. It’s that Obama sent our maufacturing to China and everything became cheap stuff, but better than nothing. We would have bought Maytag, had they still been operating here and turning out the same quality Washer.
cheap Eric? You mean Made in China, right?
Well of course he is proud of helping more unsuspecting citizens get injected with RNA-altering poison. That’s the DemoCommunists plan.
It helps Gates & Globalists, Inc. to foster a more “positive” public attitude towards the “vaccine.”
DeSantis is between a rock and a hard place. He is forced to make the poison widely available else he’d be excoriated for denying access to it.
I was floored by a discussion between Mark Levin and Admiral Giroir, a four-star admiral in the US Public Health Service, pediatrician, and Assistant Secretary for Health under President Trump.
The discussion was centered on Biden’s false claims about the Trump Administration’s extraordinary achievements involving the pandemic, and the roll-out of vaccines.
Admiral Giroir was so dismissive of Democrats and struck me as full-bore MAGA, and without the slightest doubt.
He is a wonderful man!
Before signing off, he made a quick but effective endorsement of all these vaccines that was so utterly positive, dispelling any and all doubts about quality, efficacy, safety etc. saying that they are the best vaccines ever-created, specifically handing the credit to President Trump and his leadership.
From a hardened skeptic, I became a believer.
Anyone that is unsure about vaccines, should listen to that wonderful Levin interview with Admiral Giroir, if only to find out how strongly he stood and stands with President Trump.
I’m sorry but no general ever or anyone who says vaccines are great is going to convince me. Read the inserts, do your research. Pure poison, the modern witches’ brew. Did you know most vaccines contain aborted babies cells?
Exactly, Snow White. The misinformation and propaganda around these “vaccines” is so thick that even high ranking military officers -and possibly even President Trump (although I’m doubtful he’s totally unaware of the negative info on these mRNA agents) – are unaware of the myriad reports and research that has revealed the inherent high risks and real unimaginable dangers in allowing that evil concoction into one’s veins.
The human immune system is the best defense against covid-19 or ANY virus. Add to that the cheap, proven efficacy of hydroxychloroquine or any of several existing proven therapeutic meds, and there is no need at all for this entire fiasco. None.
I THINK -VSG/ESG PDJT- VIEW ABOUT VAX- AS THE WAY TO FULLY OPEN BUSINESS IN THE US-HE NEVER TALK ABOUT PASSPORTS…TAKE VAX ON FREE WILL..THATS HIS VIEW…
I think you’re correct.
I see…. You seem really well informed…. Good luck with that.
This 25 year old thought she was well informed too. Did not work out so well for her.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/04/facebook-fact-checks-womans-post-vaccines-adverse-reaction-one-week-killed/
I HOPE YOU WILL SING SAME TUNE ABOUT VAX 3-6 MONTHS FROM NOW…AFTER ALL IT IS YOUR BODY IT IS UP TO YOU WHAT NEFARIOUS STUFF YOU LET IN…..
Lives over party
That mayor is going to be up against some well-financed opposition in his next election, just saying.
Indeed.
Going south on I-95 from West Palm Beach (a mile or two) turn left at Southern Blvd to enter the Trump Bunker region.
(Also notice the media is doing a lame attack on the low percentage of black vaccinations in West Palm Beach (read: Riviera Beach and Obama Blvd).)
The low percentage of black vaccinations is largely due to the historic events such as the Tuskegee Experiment.
While such historical events happened and were horrible, their memories have been co-opted into the identity politics of the far-left. A consequence of the drumbeat against all authority as racist is a deep mistrust of the calls for mass vaccinations, a mistrust which in this instance is not entirely misplaced.
Of course the media will not take responsibility for this, even though it is almost solely responsible. Blame will allocated to systematic inequality and “social media disinformation” even though a black person refusing to get vaccinated is the exact sort of individual agency and autonomy the media and the far left claim to champion.
Its also due to the fact the demonrats and their media cabal spent last year telling blacks that “Trump” wants to kill them first with Wuhan virus and then with HCQ and the vaccine. Now they wonder why blacks don’t want anything to do with it.
You mean like Biden was a racist before he caved and picked her as his running mate and now he’s fine? Can’t hide the fact that he likes to “touch” women and little girls though!
How refreshing.
“60 Minutes” and “Intentionally False” go together in a headline like peanut butter and jelly.
60 minutes and intentionally false are synonymous.
CBS certainly has an agenda but this type of smear comes from up top, and I am not talking about that semi animated rotting carcass, or the deranged laughing hyena. This comes from the SeeEyeAye. It is, and has always been, about control. Heavy D is as much of a threat to their scheme as was Pres. Trump.
And on snewsmax they just keep pushing one libtard lie after another!
Just to be “fair” of course.
and by the way……..
THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN!
Won’t see that on our corrupted media.
Definitely would seem to be their style. Playing both ends against each other, and the middle.
Lots of opportunity for all manner of mischief.
Great to see people finally calling out the media for the lies. We all need to be vocal. I have tried even at my personal level. Neighbors, family, friends, coworkers etc. I tell them the media run narrartive is a lie. The more they hear it the more it resonates. Speak truth over and over.
DD
The scumbag Media will be the first to go if their masters are successful…and they are too STUPID to see it.
You are absolutely correct….they will be history!
Them and then the elites go next. Happens all the time, they just don’t get it.
The left must be terrified of Ron DeSantis if they are doing hit pieces. Imagine what they are gonna “report” when he decides to run.
Could it be they are more afraid of Florida and other red states than the phantom “Qanon movement”?
the media is creating dirt for that precise purpose.
So where are the demands that the reporters, producers and executives resign or be fired for this?
We need to fight fire with fire and force these people to live by their own “rules”.
I just sent my own “strongly worded” ( a la Bill Barr). To CBS.
Sorry. Strongly worded e-mail
Why would any conservative politician ever sit for an interview with these people without having their recording of the interview?
That would be the first thing I would do. You want this interview, I am going to have my own people record everything that is said. Other than that, sue the shit out of CBS
Dan Rather is beaming with pride in some sad, dark bar.
Dan Rather “Lie”.
I hope this is going to show a united front against the “woke” out of state communists on the left by Florida politicians of both parties. Enough is enough.
Sure sounds like a libel standard that meets the actual malice standard of the Supreme Court’s Sullivan case – knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not. He should sue them to put a stop to this nonsense NOW, as we all know otherwise the media will keep on it like they did to Bush II and Trump.
Something else this hit piece tells me…..why would/should they even be concerned if they have national election “correct results” in the bag and cemented in place for all time? Seems to me folks are a bit scared that things may be starting to unravel on a rather obvious scale.
I am with you. I think things are going on behind the scenes we are not aware of, and it is all being done by President Trump. Too much stuff is coming out lately.
I stopped watching long ago. Into the dustbin along with SNL. And my life has improved immeasurably.
Since CTH 2.0 doesn’t have a means to upvote an article, here is my upvote:

Oh Ok, it’s 10 upvotes.. ?
60 what?
minutes of lies as opposed to 0 minutes of truth~!
GB Bari, there is a means to upvote. Click on the little hand below the thing you want to upvote, and watch the number change. The Epoch Times has also a way to up or down vote a Comment. That is a Conservative place that is interesting, but you have to be a subscriber to read comments or comment yourself, $77 a year.
Mel, thanks but I wrote and meant upvote the article (that Sundance wrote and posted), not a comment.
Peace, bro.
The “Gold Stantard’ is a term connoting the best of the best in reference to a form of examination or testing. If one were to ask whick media/journalism outlet/company/organization is the “Gold Standard” who do you think would get the nod of approval?
If we could bring in Socrates for the defining and questioning of those in our group of media, etc., what do you think he would discover? Yea, that’s what I thought too…
It’s beyond me anybody bothers watching these shows. I never tought I’d see the day Western media would voluntarily spew oit propaganda like Pravda did in the USSR… but, here we are!
Watch it or not they get paid the same. So they are fine and happy making millions
There are but a handful of journalists and fewer investigative reporters. 99.9% of so-called journalists are nothing more than Soros’ Stenographers. They have stained a once honorable profession while simultaneously betraying their fellow citizens.
Damn the Fake News Pusher Man. Communist Broadcasting System.
The state of FL should sue cbs
So should Ron Desantis. Lying is now accepted as fact by most libtards.
One wonders if a lawyer could prove intent?
Haven’t watched 60 minutes in ages, everything they do is similar to this. All out propaganda, no pretense, they simply move forward knowing that their audience is ignorant and gullible.
The mayor of Palm Beach just stated the intent and he’s one of them!!
60 Minutes – is that still a thing?
What is this CBS that you speak of?
My TV has been a dust collector since 19 so I don’t get to watch pure propaganda
I get my news off the street
And alley ways of the internet using the
If they have a political or financial interest ignore it filtering system.
A scrap of information here or there tells me what I need to know.
We have too many Democrat propaganda channels disguised as news.
Cut the cord, do not pay for or watch TV
Send them to hell where they came from. As long as people chose comfort over liberty this is what we will keep getting.
I remember when I was a teen, and my mother would watch 60 minutes/PBS, etc.
She encouraged me to watch them with her as they were “educational” and insightful.
I was bored to death by those shows and refused.
Today, not only do I NOT watch that slanted garbage, I encourage my children to avoid the TV news shows.
Why?
Because they lie. That’s what I tell my kids. The news shows are full of lies.
You have to give the NWO global elites credit. They knew in order to change America, they had to over take Hollywood, Media, Judges, ACLU, Education. Most can’t tell the difference between lies and fact.
There’s still plenty of time before 2024, Ron. So sue them now for defamation.
With testimony like that, I think the Guv has a defamation case…
He, like President Trump, will get threatened into SILENCE! There is BIG money working to keep the Democrats in power forever.
Good grief!!! When a demonrat calls you a liar for lying about a REPUBLICAN , you KNOW you are a liar….
The 60 minutes twitter account has up a story showing Anquon Boldin, NFL receiver, helping black kids in the Glades. That attack is that the kids and the people are “forgotten in the Glades.”
Wow, all out attack on DeSantis.
I’m calling my local CBS affiliate.
So…….they must be sued. NYTimes v Sullivan will not save them. HIT THEM UP FOR HUGE SUMS OF MONEY, GOV. D. !
Any rational discussion on this issue is negated by the emergency, untested vaccines that are being foisted on the world. Time is already showing the poison for what it is. Sad to see the lie told over and over by leaders in both parties otherwise known as the uniparty. One must keep that fact foremost in your mind as you decipher these news stories. Left wing, right wing…same dirty bird.
What’s 60 Minutes? I watched a show last night that interviewed Governor DeSantis for the entire show. He was great! The interviewer seemed honest and allowed the Governor to speak without interruption when answering questions. The interviewer was Mark Levin. The showed lasted 60 minutes. My mama told me to stay away from liars.
Looks to me the mayor has a dog collar around his neck
60 skinny minutes doing an impersonation of Adam Schiff (re: truth) really doesn’t cut it~!
Governor DeSantis is making heavily locked down states like NY and California look bad with his brilliant response to the plandemic. Of course the fake media attacks with lies, they can’t handle the truth.
The leftist propaganda show only draws about 10 million viewers. 2% – 3% of the US population.
Shows like 60 minutes are only feeding the small leftist echo chambers which the media and social media make appear much larger than they actually are.
Do yourself and your family a favor and throw your TV in the trash and spend your free time in better ways.
Which is why they are deploying their fraudulent elections. They know the majority of Americans now know they steal elections. Why else is the NG guarding the liars in our Congress!
BING BANG BOOM!
This guy/mayor could have been a hero to the Dems, CBS, Libs, etc. He CHOSE to do what’s right and honorable. If I were in that area, I would vote/support him. He could have remained silent/quiet and never uttered a word and DeSantis would be castigated; though he knows he’s right, would have never been proven.
Hear, hear to being honorable and a decent human, mankind, citizen regardless of party/politics. Unheard of this day and time, both sides.
Looks as if he could have been military; wondering if that’s the difference or just the look. In my book, he’s the real deal.
And, he’s doing what was BEST for his constituents and not playing politics, aka Cuomo, Newsome, Whitner, etc. He’s trying to keep his people safe and working with Gov was in best interest. DeSantis delivered what was asked and he in turn stays true to his word and relates to actual vs political speak. Recall Cuomo praised Trump on phone and this blasted him in public. I hope burns really hot one day…..
Until massive amounts of people start suing these media companies nothing will change.
PRESIDENT-ELECTED TRUMP HAS ASKED US TO BOYCOTT VIACOM/CBS
A big Thank You to this Dem Mayor for not letting the DemMSM get away w/ this BS. The rollout of the vax in FL. has been phenomenal where I live, beginning in *December*. If you want it, you got it.
Everything from Community Centers in predominately black neighborhoods, to drugstores to Publix, to hospitals, etc etc.
Has the “tick-tock” crowd moved on to “if the information on Hunter Biden’s laptops is released…..” crowd now?
thank you, Sundance . . . thank you, Mayor Kerner . . .
I was a little kid when 60 Min. 1st started. Seems they were like a “Project Veritas” back then. Exposing fraud car salesmen on the spot, etc.
Shows how far the “news” has fallen since the 60’s. Now a show like Project Veritas is censored, even on the internet!
It’s wonderful to see that this mayor spoke up for the truth! He is an inspiration, he cares for his people in his county, no matter there political party! As does Gov. DeSantis! That’s how it used to be!
Now days, unethical politicians, want to put everyone into some kind of group! It’s good to know there are honest, moral, truthful politicians in both parties! But they’re certainly a “rare breed”!
