The liberal media’s bias was on full display this week when CBS anchor Scott Pelley used a college graduation speech to attack conservatives. Speaking at Wake Forest University, Pelley claimed free speech and American institutions are under threat while pushing Democratic talking points about former President Trump. His remarks sparked immediate backlash from Americans tired of left-wing propaganda masquerading as news.
Podcaster Michael Knowles fired back, declaring the Democrats’ “jig is up” after Pelley’s unhinged rant. Knowles highlighted how Pelley’s speech exposed the media’s desperate attempt to smear Trump supporters ahead of the 2024 election. This comes as trust in outlets like CBS continues to collapse under the weight of their partisan agenda.
Pelley alarmingly warned graduates about “insidious fear” spreading through America, blaming conservative policies instead of radical leftist policies silencing dissent. He absurdly claimed journalism and universities are “under attack” while ignoring how woke campuses punish Christian groups and ban conservative speakers. His hypocrisy shows how out-of-touch coastal elites have become.
The CBS anchor’s fearmongering included dramatic claims about “power changing the definition of words,” a clear dig at Trump’s America First policies. Pelley’s rhetoric mirrors Democratic attempts to redefine biological sex, election integrity, and border security while accusing Republicans of distortion. This gaslighting strategy is straight from the left’s playbook.
Pelley’s speech marks another low for “60 Minutes,” which abandoned journalism to become a mouthpiece for progressive activism. His decision to politicize a graduation ceremony proves media figures care more about pushing agendas than informing the public. Parents watching this spectacle now understand why universities churn out radical activists instead of well-rounded graduates.
Michael Knowles rightly called out Pelley’s hypocrisy, noting how liberals lecture about “democracy” while trying to jail their political opponents. The podcaster’s viral response resonated with millions who see through the media’s double standards. Americans are fed up with being called “threats to democracy” simply for believing in border security and parental rights.
This incident reveals why Fox News dominates ratings as America’s most-trusted news source. While CBS peddles panic, Fox delivers facts without fear. Pelley’s meltdown confirms what conservatives already knew – the corporate media would rather terrify students than report fairly on Trump’s growing support.
The left’s intimidation tactics won’t work this time. Hardworking Americans see Pelley’s speech for what it was: a pathetic attempt to scare young voters into rejecting common sense. As Knowles said, the truth always wins. November’s election will prove no amount of liberal lies can silence the silent majority anymore.
