https://www.dailymail.co.uk/media/article-15473889/cbs-news-anchor-tony-dokupil-donald-trump.html Newly-minted CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil was reportedly caught on tape caving to President Trump's demands after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt threatened that the administration 'will sue' if they didn't comply. Dokoupil, 45, took over the network's flagship nightly news broadcast earlier this year with a rocky start, as critics accused him of softening coverage on the president. Following an interview with Trump last week, Dokoupil was reportedly threatened by Leavitt to play the full 13 minute conversation un-edited, or the White House would 'sue your a** off.' According to a recording obtained by the New York Times, Leavitt issued the blunt warning after the interview concluded, telling Dokoupil and his producers: '(Trump) said, "Make sure you guys don't cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full.''' 'Yeah, we're doing it, yeah,' Dokoupil replied, according to the report. 'He said, "If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your a** off,"' Leavitt added. . . . "Creative editing" of interviews - designed to be propaganda, not info - has become a big thing. It's not only the USA either, the BBC scandal is still fresh in mind. "Creative editing" is a back-door form of CENSORSHIP, intended to limit thinking for political ends.
