Scott Pelley/CBS is on a roll. Calling out the

Trumpsters for fabrications, and their constant onslaught of bullshit. I don't do cable news and can only stand the first 10 minutes of national evening news. Will stick with those calling out the WH and wrote CBS to say so!

Thank you, CBS News and Scott Pelley, for exposing the lies and abortion of reality coming from Donald Trump and his Republican enablers. After a long hiatus, I am now watching the 5:30 CBS News on my local CBS affiliate. Please continue supporting the truth, and exposing the lies.

He couldn't get enough of Trump last year.

Leslie Moonves can appreciate a Donald Trump candidacy.

Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.

"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS," he said of the presidential race.

Moonves called the campaign for president a "circus" full of "bomb throwing," and he hopes it continues.

"Most of the ads are not about issues. They're sort of like the debates," he said.

"Man, who would have expected the ride we're all having right now? ... The money's rolling in and this is fun," he said.

"I've never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It's a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going," said Moonves.

"Donald's place in this election is a good thing," he said Monday at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco.

But it is the opening intro segment that is the most damning - the condensed summaries and headlines run together is like a 1-2-3-2 punch to SCROTUS. My favorite time of the evening!

I'm so happy to see a journalist calling a spade a spade, or more importantly, calling a liar a liar. I hope more reporters follow this example.
