CBS’s “60 Minutes” news program aired a brief piece about President Donald Trump’s potential cabinet that was nothing short of propaganda. Host Scott Pelley mentioned a few of the picks and highlighted things that some would consider negative, such as a lack of experience. When it comes to Matt Gaetz as potential Attorney General, Pelley referenced a legal matter in which alleged human trafficking took place, although Gaetz was never charged. Pelley did not mention other Cabinet picks that Trump did not need confirmation for, such as Border Czar Tom Holman and D.O.G.E. (Department of Government Efficiency) officers Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk.
