Michael Goodwin: Scott Pelley’s anti-Trump diatribe was more of the same warped, distorted nonsense that puts the BS in CBS

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : It breaks my heart to say it, but this is the ethos of most contemporary journalism, where independent thinking is verboten.
60% : The theme song of “Jaws” would have made a fitting backdrop, with Trump as the frightening Great White.
49% : To admit it would have helped Trump, so they looked the other way.
28% : The fact that Trump was elected — and carried — North Carolina, where Wake Forest is located, never figures into the screed.
27% : Similarly, Pelley has come out as a rank partisan and can never again be trusted to cover anything remotely related to Trump or ­politics.
24% : Consider that a majority of North Carolina voters backed Trump, meaning that some of the adults in Pelley’s audience, including faculty and parents, and possibly many students, voted for the man their graduation speaker described as a wannabe fascist dictator.
