DeSantis shuts down reporter in unaired interview segment on Black, LGBT topics.
CBS News Fails to Paint Governor Ron DeSantis as a Bigot in Unaired Interview
In a recent interview, CBS News attempted to portray Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a bigot by questioning his state’s stance on identity politics in classrooms. However, their plan backfired as DeSantis was well-prepared to address the loaded question.
Florida teachers are prohibited from discussing critical race theory, sex, or extreme gender ideologies with young children. Last year, the state faced criticism from Democrats and the media for enacting the Parental Rights in Education law, which opponents dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law.
The law states that discussions on sexual orientation or gender identity are not allowed in kindergarten through grade 3, or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.
In a two-part interview with CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell, DeSantis was asked about far-left ideologies and their impact on education. However, the segment was ultimately not aired by CBS, with O’Donnell explaining that other issues were deemed more important.
Despite the interview not being broadcasted, CBS News shared the clip online.

During the interview, DeSantis confidently addressed O’Donnell’s attempt to portray conservatives as bigoted. When O’Donnell mentioned that most gay people knew about their sexual orientation since childhood, DeSantis questioned the relevance of that to subjects like math, English, or history.
O’Donnell then shifted the conversation to whether gay people should feel accepted at school, to which DeSantis responded that everyone should be accepted.
CBS News’ Deceptive Tactics
This is not the first time CBS News has been caught using deceptive tactics. In a “60 Minutes” segment in 2021, the network implied a relationship between DeSantis and the grocery store chain Publix regarding the distribution of COVID vaccines to seniors in Florida. However, the segment faced backlash from both Republicans and Democrats for its misleading portrayal.
Even the Democratic mayor of Palm Beach County, Dave Kerner, criticized the segment, stating that it was intentionally false and based on incorrect information.

The fact that CBS News attempted to paint Governor DeSantis as a bigot is not surprising considering the current media landscape. It has become increasingly common for news outlets to push their own political agenda rather than report the facts objectively.
It is clear that CBS had an agenda in attempting to portray DeSantis as a bigot based on his state’s stance on identity politics in classrooms. By asking loaded questions and attempting to create controversy, they were hoping to generate outrage and create a negative narrative around DeSantis and his policies.
However, DeSantis was well-prepared for the interview, effectively addressing the loaded question and defending his state’s position on these issues. His response highlighted the importance of age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate education, emphasizing the need to protect young children from potentially harmful ideologies.
The fact that CBS chose not to air the interview suggests that they realized their attempt to paint DeSantis as a bigot was not successful. It is disappointing that CBS would try to manipulate the narrative and misrepresent DeSantis and his policies in an effort to push their own agenda.
In conclusion, CBS News’s failed attempt to paint Governor DeSantis as a bigot in the unaired interview reflects a larger issue in the media today. It is crucial for news outlets to prioritize factual reporting and objective journalism, rather than pushing their own political agenda. The public deserves honest and unbiased news coverage, and it is disappointing when outlets like CBS choose to prioritize their own biases instead.
