Richard Luscombe at The Guardian:

Joe Biden has said it was his “obligation to the country” to drop out of the 2024 presidential election and prevent what he said would be “a genuine danger to American security” if Donald Trump won a second term of office. The US president gave his reasoning for stepping aside in at-times an emotional interview with CBS News on Sunday, his first since quitting the race in July. He explained that losing the confidence of senior House and Senate Democrats, who feared his unpopularity would hurt them at the polls in November, had weighed on his mind.

Ultimately, Biden said, it was a combination of circumstances that led him to make his momentous decision not to seek re-election, which subsequently saw Vice-President Kamala Harris taking over the Democratic ticket and catching or surpassing Trump in several battleground states, according to new polling data. “Although I have the great honor to be president, I think I have an obligation to the country to do the most important thing you can do, and that is we must, we must, we must defeat Trump,” he said. Biden said he did not take the decision lightly, and made it in consultation with his family at home in Delaware. At the time, he said, he still believed he could win in November, but events had “moved quickly” after weeks of pressure and growing unease inside his party that, at 81, he was too old for the rigors of a second term.

Those fears were heightened by his disastrous debate performance against Trump in June. “I had a really bad day in that debate because I was sick. But I have no serious problem,” Biden said, denying he was impaired by any cognitive issue. “The polls we had showed that it was a neck and neck race, it would have been down to the wire. But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was gonna hurt them in the races and I was concerned if I stayed in the race that would be the topic. “I thought it would be a real distraction. [When] I ran the first time I thought of myself being a transition president. I can’t even say how old I am. It’s hard for me to get out of my mouth. Things got moving so quickly. And the combination was… a critical issue for me still… is maintaining this democracy.”

Speaking to CBS News’s Robert Costa on CBS Sunday Morning today for President Joe Biden’s first TV interview since his July 21st withdrawal announcement, Biden stated that the reason why he withdrew 3 weeks ago was due to the fact that he had “an obligation to the country” to defeat Donald Trump by dropping out of the race and endorsing Kamala Harris to be his successor.

CBS News:

Award-winning journalist Charles Osgood, who anchored "CBS Sunday Morning" for 22 years and was host of the long-running radio program "The Osgood File," died Tuesday at home in New Jersey.  He was 91.  The cause of death was dementia, his family said. Osgood, a gifted news writer, poet and author, spent 45 years at CBS News before retiring in September 2016. Osgood began anchoring "CBS Sunday Morning" in 1994. During his run on the show it reached its highest ratings levels in three decades, and three times earned the Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Morning Program.

[...]

Often referred to as CBS News' poet-in-residence, Osgood was called "one of the last great broadcast writers" by Charles Kuralt, whom Osgood succeeded as host of the Sunday morning magazine program in 1994. But he did more than carry on a great American oral tradition; he could also play piano, organ, banjo, violin, and was an accomplished composer and lyricist who could also sing along. He employed his many talents inside and outside CBS, sometimes performing with professional orchestras such as The New York Pops, The Boston Pops and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. 

"To say there's no one like Charles Osgood is an understatement," said "Sunday Morning" executive producer Rand Morrison. "He embodied the heart and soul of 'Sunday Morning.' His signature bow tie, his poetry … just his presence was special for the audience, and for those of us who worked with him. At the piano, Charlie put our lives to music. Truly, he was one of a kind – in every sense."  Veteran broadcaster Jane Pauley, who succeeded Osgood as host of "Sunday Morning" in 2016, said, "Watching him at work was a masterclass in communicating. I'll still think to myself, 'How would Charlie say it?', trying to capture the elusive warmth and intelligence of his voice and delivery. I expect I'll go on trying. He was one of the best broadcast stylists and one of the last. His style was so natural and unaffected it communicated his authenticity. He connected with people. Watching him  on TV, or listening on the radio, as I did for years, was to feel like you knew him, and he knew you. He brought a unique sensibility, curiosity and his trademark whimsy to 'Sunday Morning,' and it endures."

Former CBS Sunday Morning host Charles Osgood passed away at 91.

This morning on one of the CBS Sunday morning news programs they did a story. It was introduced as being a wonderful story of a girl with autism overcoming her disability and running her own business. I was slightly dubious, but, well whatever.

As the story went on several things became clear. The company had been started by her mother. It was actually run by her mother. The only person they interviewed was her mother. The whole tone of the story was about how selfless her mother was. How she was going above and beyond for her daughter. Her brave struggle. The one time they went to the daughter for a comment, she got three words in, and they crossfaded to the mother translating for her. I noticed in the shots of the company, they appeared to have hired several other handicapped people as well. Nothing was mentioned about that. Not a bit about how the daughter felt, just shots of her working or chatting with coworkers while the mother or the reporter said what was going on.

Five years ago I wouldn’t have noticed. Five years ago I might not have paid any attention. But now I am and I did and I was not impressed by what I saw.

What could they have done? Well, make it about the daughter, I didn’t catch even if they said her name. Let her tell the story. Yes she has trouble speaking, but good editing, aids, and subtitles, could have taken care of that. Show what they said the story was at the top, an autistic person making her own way.

But they didn’t. They took the cheap, easy way out. CBSNews, you can do better.

MICHAEL J. FOX: My life is set up so I can pack Parkinson's along with me if I have to.

JANE PAULEY: You've not squandered any of your capacity. But at some point, Parkinson's gonna make the call for you, isn't it?

FOX: Yeah, it's, it's banging on the door. Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna lie. It's gettin' hard, it's gettin' harder. It's gettin' tougher. Every day it's tougher. But, but, that's, that's the way it is. I mean, you know, who do I see about that?...I had spinal surgery. I had a tumor on my spine. And – and – and it was benign, but it messed up my walking. … And then, started to break stuff. Bro, broke this arm, and I broke this arm, I broke this elbow. I broke my face. I broke my hand.

PAULEY: Falling on things?

FOX:  Which is a big killer with Parkinson's. It's falling … and aspirating food and getting pneumonia. All these subtle ways that gets ya'. … You don't die from Parkinson's. You die with Parkinson's. So – so I've been – I've been thinking about the mortality of it. … I'm not gonna be 80. I'm not gonna be 80.

“The public and private Rock Hudson” - reported by Tracy Smith for CBS Sunday Morning (originally broadcasted June 26, 2023)

For nearly four decades as a star of films and TV, Rock Hudson was Hollywood's epitome of heterosexual desire. But he also led a secret life as a closeted gay man, and in 1985 became the first celebrity to die of AIDS. Correspondent Tracy Smith looks back on the public and private lives of Hudson, and talks with Stephen Kijak, director of the new HBO documentary Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed; biographer Mark Griffin; and actress Linda Evans, who shared a romantic scene with Hudson on Dynasty at a time when some feared that a kiss could transmit HIV.

Misinformation, Disinformation or Downright Lies? #Truth #Lies #FakeCommunication

Image Credit: Alex Shuper Have we desensitized ourselves so much as to whether the truth matters anymore? Buried under the rhetoric and disinformation that spreads like a wildfire, are the facts. Sometimes the facts are ignored or silenced because that is not the narrative or propaganda many people want to sensationalize. Some people will clamp ahold of whatever is circulating that is misleading…

Julianne McShane at Mother Jones:

In his first interview since dropping out of the election last month and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, President Joe Biden said he believes Trump is a threat to democracy whether he wins or loses in November. “If he wins this nomination—excuse me, this election—watch what happens,” Biden told Robert Costa of CBS News. “He’s a genuine danger to American security.” “There’s little regard by the MAGA Republicans for the political institutions,” Biden said later in the interview. [...] “If Trump loses,” Biden told Costa, “I’m not confident at all” that there will be a peaceful transfer of power, he said. “He means what he says—we don’t take him seriously. He means it. All the stuff about, ‘If we lose, it’ll be a bloodbath.'” (Trump has also said: “If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country.”)

In an interview with CBS’s Robert Costa on CBS Sunday Morning yesterday, President Joe Biden rightly stated that Donald Trump is “a genuine danger to American security” regardless of whether he wins or loses.
