CBS correspondent Adam Yamaguchi unraveled the conspiratorial notion on Friday that President Trump has turned the network into state TV. During a report on Evening News, Yamaguchi ran an uncritical profile that featured a trio of anti-ICE activists and the ways they are trying to thwart the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
Yamaguchi quickly got to his first featured activist, “We came to this Home Depot in Pasadena, where we met school librarian Sharon Nicholls and her neighbors.”
After a clip of Nicholls claiming she is “not an activist,” Yamaguchi proceed to promote Nicholls’s activism, “They made their local Home Depot a top priority. It's called Adopt-a-Corner. They are here every morning providing day laborers with information and watching out for ICE agents.”
