CBS News correspondent Ed O'Keefe just learned what happens when Trump Derangement Syndrome meets cold, hard facts - and it's not pretty, folks.
During Wednesday's White House press briefing, O'Keefe had the audacity to challenge Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for examples of President Trump being "falsely called racist." The question came after Trump posted a tribute to Jesse Jackson, noting how he'd been praised by Black leaders before entering politics.
What happened next was absolutely beautiful to watch.
Leavitt didn't miss a beat, delivering a masterclass in how to handle biased media. She rattled off example after example of the mainstream media's coordinated smear campaign against Trump, citing specific instances where the press twisted his words or outright lied about his record.
But here's the kicker - even O'Keefe's own colleagues in the White House press corps started chuckling at his obvious bias. When you're so deranged that even other liberal reporters are laughing at you, maybe it's time for some self-reflection.
"The facts speak for themselves," Leavitt said, systematically dismantling the false narrative that the legacy media has peddled for nearly a decade.
This is exactly why Americans voted for Trump in a landslide - they're tired of the media's lies and gaslighting. O'Keefe's question wasn't journalism; it was activism masquerading as reporting.
The beautiful irony? By asking such a loaded question, O'Keefe actually gave Leavitt the perfect platform to expose the media's dishonest tactics to millions of Americans. Talk about an own goal!
This moment perfectly encapsulates why Trump's approval ratings keep climbing while trust in mainstream media continues to crater. Americans can see through the charade, and moments like these only make it more obvious.
How long will CBS keep embarrassing itself with this kind of partisan hackery?
