**Censorship Rears Its Ugly Head: Scott Pelley’s Commencement Rant Against Trump Draws Ire**
In a shocking display of media bias, prominent CBS anchor Scott Pelley unleashed a scathing tirade against former President Donald Trump during a recent commencement address at Wake Forest University.
Rather than uplifting the graduating class of 2025, Pelley opted to instill a sense of fear, claiming that “insidious fear” has infiltrated various aspects of American life, from schools to businesses, suggesting a nation in peril.
Using the prestigious platform of a graduation ceremony, Pelley warned the students about threats to the "sacred rule of law," listing journalism, universities, and freedom of speech among the supposed casualties of Trump’s presidency.
The rhetoric didn’t stop there. He urged the graduates to step into a world fraught with danger and uncertainty, hinting that the very fabric of American society was being torn apart.
Critics swiftly condemned Pelley’s outburst on social media, labeling it “angry” and “unhinged.” Responses included remarks questioning his credibility, especially considering the ongoing $20 billion lawsuit filed by Trump against CBS for editing a crucial interview with then-Vice President Harris to mischaracterize his stance.
One Twitter user succinctly noted the irony of Pelley’s passionate speech advocating freedom of speech while simultaneously lambasting Trump, a figure who has been a target of relentless media scrutiny since before his presidency.
Juanita Broaddrick, a prominent voice in the ongoing discourse about the conduct of public figures, referred to Pelley as a “pompous POS,” echoing the sentiments of a growing number of Americans frustrated with the mainstream media's propensity to vilify conservative leaders.
Many expect that Pelley’s remarks will serve as a rallying point for those fed up with left-leaning media narratives that seek to undermine conservative values.
What should have been a celebration of accomplishment instead turned into a political platform for rallying against a figure who, for millions of Americans, represents a challenge to a political establishment they feel has failed them.
As media figures like Pelley continue their war of words against Trump, one thing is clear: the narrative around Trump’s presidency does not appear to be softening any time soon.
In the face of ongoing media attacks, conservative values continue to resonate deeply with a significant segment of the American populace, reinforcing the need for open discourse free from undue bias and hysteria.
The question remains whether or not those in the media will ever truly embrace that notion, or if they prefer to perpetuate a culture of criticism and alarmism that serves their interests more than those of the American people.
