The liberal media’s obsession with attacking President Donald Trump has reached embarrassing new heights—or rather, new depths—in a recent CBS report that bizarrely shoehorned cheap, irrelevant jabs at the 45th president into what should have been a straightforward human-interest story. The network’s pathetic attempt to smear Trump, while downplaying the real issues at hand, is a glaring example of how far the once-respected Tiffany Network has fallen.
The segment, which ostensibly focused on an Afghan refugee now working with Catholic Charities, opened with a cringe-worthy, politically charged introduction by CBS anchors Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson. Instead of leading with the heartwarming story of resilience, they opted for a disjointed rant about Trump’s past remarks, including his well-known “dictator on day one” quip and a lighthearted joke about the papal succession.
DuBOIS: “Candidate Donald Trump said he would be a dictator, but only on day one of his presidency. Well, now on day 100, he had a different idea. He said he’d like to be pope.”
DICKERSON: “That was his joking response when a reporter asked if he had a preference as to who should succeed Pope Francis.”
The anchors then pivoted to Pope Francis’ criticisms of Trump’s immigration policies, framing the pontiff as the ultimate defender of migrants—conveniently ignoring the catastrophic consequences of open-border policies that have overwhelmed American communities. This irrelevant detour served no purpose other than to reinforce CBS’s anti-Trump narrative, proving once again that the network prioritizes partisan attacks over substantive journalism.
The actual story—about an Afghan refugee rebuilding his life after the Biden administration’s disastrous 2021 withdrawal—was buried beneath layers of liberal propaganda. CBS glossed over the botched Afghanistan exit, which left thousands of allies stranded and handed the Taliban billions in military equipment. They also sidestepped the ongoing migrant crisis, both in Europe (epitomized by Lampedusa, Italy) and in America (where cities like Eagle Pass, Texas, bear the brunt of illegal crossings).

Instead, the report functioned as a thinly veiled infomercial for Catholic Charities, carefully omitting the organization’s pro-life work to avoid contradicting the left’s abortion agenda. It also served as filler content between endless segments mourning Pope Francis—another excuse for the media to virtue-signal while ignoring real policy failures.
This isn’t journalism; it’s activism. CBS’s transparent hostility toward Trump reflects a newsroom in open rebellion against its own parent company, Paramount, as rumors swirl about a potential settlement. The network’s downward spiral is a direct result of its refusal to report fairly on a president who continues to defy the establishment—and win.
