Trump Comms Chief Blasts ‘Idiot’ at CBS After Mar-a-Lago Misreporting.

The corporate media is taking flak for setting off a panic on social media after an unofficial CBS News television pool falsely reported ambulances accompanied by United States Secret Service (USSS) leaving President-elect Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. In reality, the emergency vehicles and USSS presence were part of Vice President-elect J.D. Vance’s motorcade.

“The press has set up a fake, unofficial “pool” because they want to feel important about themselves,” Steven Cheung, the incoming Trump White House Communications Director, wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He continued: “In this case, some idiot at CBS overreacted and set off the fire alarm for no reason thinking they were going to get the scoop of a lifetime.”

“F*cking dummy,” Cheung added.

Andrew Feinberg, a reporter for The Independent, a leftist news site based in the United Kingdom, set off the initial media panic. At 4:16 PM, Feinberg posted on X, citing the unofficial CBS News pool: “NOW: Per pool, 2 ambulances and several vans that appeared full of @SecretService have left Mar-a-Lago in the last few minutes.” Almost 30 minutes later, Feinberg clarified that the report was a false alarm but offered no other details.

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, was the first to report that the fake CBS News pool’s claim regarding an emergency at Mar-a-Lago was incorrect. “This is NOT an official pool report, I am told by Trump world sources. This is some recently invented CBS pool that they made up for themselves,” Kassam wrote on X at 4:38 PM, continuing: “It’s not reliable. A separate source tells me there’s nothing out of the ordinary going on.”
