CBS’ Dickerson Urges ‘All of Us’ to Heed Scott Pelley’s Anti-Trump Commencement Speech

(NewsBusters)

On May 19, 60 Minutes’s Scott Pelley went to Wake Forest University to give what was advertised as a commencement speech but in reality was a partisan diatribe warning that President Trump is a threat to all things good and decent. While Pelley urged the graduates to resist Trump, on Friday, colleague John Dickerson urged “all of us” to pay attention to Pelley’s words on CBS Evening News Plus.

Dickerson, who styles himself as a straight newsman, was playing clips from various commencement speeches across the country when he arrived at Pelley, who “spoke to Wake Forest about the urgency of history's call.”
