CBS Forced to Delete Segment After Most Embarrassing Biden Reporting in History Exposed On-Air
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
C BS News was forced to remove a video from social media platform X on Wednesday after arguing it was an example of a "cheap fake" of President Joe Biden apparently wandering off during the G7 Summit in Italy last week.
The White House has accused Republicans of creating cheap fake videos of Biden, taken out of context, to build on the narrative that he has cognitive problems.
JUST IN: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says videos of Biden freezing and appearing confused are "cheap fakes video."
Don't believe your own eyes, folks.
Pierre said right-wingers who are sharing these videos have a "credibility problem."

CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes claimed such was the case with the G7 footage of Biden and other world leaders watching a skydiving demonstration.
"Outlets claimed that he was sort of just aimlessly wandering away. The clip amassed millions of views ..., when actually if you widen out, you can see that he was talking to one of the members of the military that was participating in that demonstration," she said.
The problem is the so-called "digitally altered video" CBS aired next to the actual one is exactly the same. In both, you can see that Biden is trying to talk to a paratrooper.
But he did wander off, while the other G7 leaders stuck together. Then Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni went to Biden to wrangle him up.

The media caught again!
Lol. The "unedited videos are fake" might be a new low for the media.
Literally approaching "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command," territory.
They won't be satisfied until they are out of business.

Amazing how many people sucked up the bad press. Same with the 'But it doesn't show the seconds before Obama went and got him " that actually made the brain dead one look worse. You can't make this stuff up.
It’s the most frustrating thing watching the major parties settle for these candidates.
I agree.
Only thing more frustrating is the number of voters willing to vote for such shitty candidates.
What makes these incidents noteworthy is that people have to grab Joe and bring him back. Why would the leader of the free world feel the need to bother a paratrooper trying to do his job?
Biden's attempt to intimidate the Pope is particularly laughable. Hey, Joe, you ain't another coming of LBJ.
LOL.
Even the plausible excuses for Biden are implausible. At best the excuse that Biden was trying to engage a paratrooper who wasn't paying any attention to Biden makes Biden look like he is easily distracted.
Biden is with the leaders of 6 other countries and he's off chasing squirrels? Really? And Giorgia Meloni had to lead Biden back to the party she was hosting for a photograph? Spin it anyway you want, Biden was either having a senior moment or Biden was intentionally rude.
The wider the frame goes, or as evidenced by the NBC film from a different angle shows more jumpers and their assistants that Biden was clearly tying to engage with.
The NBC film also shows how Meloni sort of tapped the back of Bidens arm to get his attention.
He didn't wander and she wasn't leading him back.
The other heads of state looked like a bunch of turkeys ogling at the airplanes and helos circling overhead.
So, the other heads of state were deliberately avoiding Biden? Or was Biden deliberately avoiding the other heads of state? These excuses get worse and worse.
Does Joe Biden have a friendly relationship with any head of state? Biden seems to hover on the fringe of any gathering. That's an odd place for the leader of the free world.
JFC no one was avoiding anyone FFS
The other heads of state were trying to get a picture with the leader of the free world whom they obviously like and admire!
Proof please
I dont know what the nonsense in the seeded article is referring to, but Biden did not "wander". He walked a few measly steps to engage with a paratrooper. Meloni did not "wrangle" him, she let him know they were ready for the picture.
STOP WITH THE FUCKING LIES
The truth hurts, doesn't it? Admit that Biden was never fit to be president and is trying very hard to destroy our representative Constitutional democracy.
What truth?
That comment is delusional.
How so?
Please explain in detail instead of making baseless assumptions.
You first!
Reality is, at the G7, Biden went into roomba mode again. Just as he has done dozens of time in other venues. It's what we've all come to expected from the geriatric circus clown.
Now his handlers, tired of being called out, are in scramble mode to gaslight everybody into believing they didn't see what they saw. And as usual the Bidenistas, buying in to the gaslighting, are shrieking what they are being spoon fed.
Cropping the width of a video is editing. Pure and simple.
Whether it was inadvertent or not, is questionable.
Looking at the whole CBS sequence along with the NBC footage should prove to most people without poisonous levels of partisanship that no one wandered off and no one had to be fetched.
Self gaslighting? Sad.
That comment is delusional.
All video clips are edited for the amount of time allowed on the news show. It seems the issue is not that it was edited but it didn't show the two or three earlier seconds. In the opinion of many that two or three seconds which is widely available does not add an context that would lead them to conclude Joe didn't wander off and had to be railed in. Maybe partisanship to a certain degree or just a different interpretation of what happened taking into consideration Joe often seems a bit lost.
How did you put it....Oh:
The cropping of the video eliminated the landing paratroopers to Bidens right.
The cropped video was turned into front page nonsense by the NY Post and others
creating more fodder for people already convinced of the Presidents mental decline.
Thank you for the thoughtful response.
Just one more example for people concerned about his mental decline and don't ignore everything that would show it. Lots of dems are also concerned about his decline.
Surely. No shortage of Dems or others jumping to a conclusion there either,
they see the same slanted pictures or reports on the Bing or Google front page
or Yahoo News that we all see, they just don't grave dance over instantly like a challenged extremist...
If I hadn't seen the G7 thing live that day I would not have known how twisted it got reported later.
Trump learned Republican Dirty Tricks from The Master Roy Cohn!
Squirrel !!!!
