Homicides are up, and CBS News thought they’d examine the problem by having Norah O’Donnell have an image rehabilitation session with President Biden’s blocked nominee to head the ATF, David Chipman. There’s nothing in the interview about homicides anyway, and Chipman says the role of the ATF is to stop gun trafficking and domestic terror, period.
Since he’s got the chance to sit down with a friendly listener, Chipman thought he’d place the blame on his withdrawn nomination on concerns that he would “not play nice with the gun industry.” No mention, of course, of Stephen Gutowski’s reporting at The Reload on a racial complaint against Chipman.
EXCLUSIVE: David Chipman, Pres. Biden’s top choice to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, tells @NorahODonnell that his nomination was blocked by the U.S. Senate over concerns that he would “not play nice with the gun industry.” pic.twitter.com/dhrLK5fGMD

Ignoring David Chipman’s racist targeting of black ATF agents which sunk his nomination, CBS Evening News lets him claim those who opposed him were against stopping gun violence. He also claims licensed gun dealers want to profit from “selling them to criminals and tourists.” pic.twitter.com/zrfGFIYhJ1

‘CBS Evening News’ anchor Norah O’Donnell runs a puff piece on failed ATF nominee David Chipman, calling it a “a major setback” to fighting “a nationwide increase in violent crime” and gun-related homicides.
She then allows him to argue those against him support gun violence. pic.twitter.com/ZQnLkfYxRg

Yes, Chipman says those who opposed his nomination must be pro-gun violence.
Ignoring @StephenGutowski’s reporting about Chipman’s history of racist comments, CBS’s Norah O’Donnell entertains a slew of pants-on-fire lies, including a claim that “in much of America, it’s easier to buy a gun than a beer” and some gun owners support gun trafficking (2/2) pic.twitter.com/saGbHf3hiI

Where in America do you need a background check and a waiting period to buy a beer?
This is quite the rewriting of history on why Chipman’s nomination failed. https://t.co/F9RIuvaMbn

Shocking that @NorahODonnell ratings are awful. Her framing of news stories are so one sided

No wonder @NorahODonnell is going to lose her job
— Naughtross (@knaught) October 27, 2021
Could be why her days are numbered at @CBSNews they have zero credibility

It failed because he is a whack-job. A dangerous zealot.

Chipman is a weirdo who frightens small children.

He gives us the creeps … O’Donnell may have done some social distancing herself.
