Yesterday Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem shared two videos from her appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation.
The first is what aired and the second is what she said in full about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Compare and contrast:
This morning, I joined CBS to report the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Instead, CBS shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth about this MS-13 gang member and the threat he poses to American public safety.

Watch for the part of my interview that @CBS tried to… pic.twitter.com/28fsGZug48
It seems like somebody at CBS News didn't want viewers to hear everything the DHS secretary had to say.
Some media outlets, like The Hill below, are reporting this as an "accusation" from Noem:
Kristi Noem accuses CBS of "deceptively" editing interview about Kilmar Abrego Garcia https://t.co/eO2MnmRS7z

Um, is that really an "accusation"?
She didn’t accuse them, she showed how they did it. https://t.co/7SIZkGH3vn

There's not much of an "accusation" when it's all right there.
Did they or didn’t they?

You won’t put that in your tweet because you know the answer.
Dead media hacks.
The defiant Democrats at CBS ‘News’ have learned nothing. As always, savor and celebrate all ‘journalism’ layoffs. More to come!🎉

It happened. There is no accusation.

A CNN reporter is defending CBS this way:
In this clip, Noem states as fact a claim that the gov’t not only hasn’t proven, but didn’t even allege in its Abrego indictment.

It isn’t the media’s job to credulously air every allegation by powerful people. In fact, as Fox News/Dominion showed, that can get you in trouble. https://t.co/CJR1DK5Fm6
Is that the same CNN that has Adam Schiff on to regularly tell every lie in the book without challenge, including continuously spouting his "Russia collusion" BS?
Wrong. It's the media's job to report what the administration officials state. Argue later.

If a Biden administration Cabinet member made ANY claim those same "journalists" would say that very thing as an explanation for airing the entirety of their comments.
