CBS News’ Mysterious ‘Retired Newsman’ Support Adds to Chaos Surrounding ’60 Minutes’ Report on Gov. DeSantis

(FOX NEWS) – CBS News’ “60 Minutes” enlisted a mysterious “retired newsman” to defend the controversial report about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ coronavirus vaccine rollout, but the famed newsmagazine didn’t explain who the alleged former journalist was and his identity remains a mystery.

CBS News has maintained it did nothing wrong, but bipartisan critics have found multiple issues with the reporting, leading the newsmagazine to address the backlash.

“In the mail this week, comments on our story about disparities in the distribution of COVID-19 vaccine in Palm Beach County, Florida. Viewers focused on an exchange with Florida Gov.
