Concha appeared on Fox News&#8217;s *Hannity* to respond to a *New York Times* report that Biden appeared drowsy and needed prompting during the interview. He argues this behavior reflects a pattern by CBS similar to their prior reluctance to release material from a 2024 *60 Minutes* interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, which he says was clearly to protect her ahead of the election. Concha labeled CBS anchor Scott Pelley, who conducted Biden&#8217;s interview, as &#8220;an absolute hack&#8221; for allegedly covering up for Biden. He <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >called<\/a> on CBS to release the full transcript and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gaige-grosskreutz-contradicts-sworn-testimony-on-cnn-i-had-my-arms-up-when-rittenhouse-shot-me\/\" title=\"Gaige Grosskreutz Contradicts Sworn Testimony on CNN: I Had &#039;My Arms Up&#039; When Rittenhouse Shot Me\">unedited video<\/a> in the interest of transparency, criticizing the network&#8217;s credibility compared to its ancient reputation. The article also mentions that CBS&#8217;s parent company, Paramount Global, paid former President donald Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit related to edits made to a *60 Minutes* interview with Kamala Harris, and notes Paramount&#8217;s recent merger with skydance Media. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Joe Concha blasts CBS for &lsquo;pattern&rsquo;
