Radio host Tony Katz is taking Scott Pelley and CBS News to task for Sunday’s interview with President Biden on 60 Minutes.
“The pandemic is over,” the President told Pelly. “We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot of work on it, but the pandemic is over.”
Katz, who hosts mornings on WIBC in Indianapolis, was stunned.
“There is one thing that made it unbelievably spectacular and it’s not actually what he said,” Katz said. “What’s amazing is that CBS aired it. It’s shocking. Scott Pelley, terrible interviewer. Absolutely awful. The softball nature of this interview is not to be excused for a moment. Scott Pelley failed as an interviewer.”
“Who else could just be so cavalier about the fact that ‘oh yeah, pandemic over,” Katz continued in web stream Monday on his YouTube channel.
“We’ve known that the pandemic is over for a little over a year now,” Katz said.
President Biden’s interview on 60 Minutes marked the start of the long-running CBS program’s 55th season.
