RFK Jr. on his independent presidential run, Biden and Trump

New polling estimates independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is at around 6% of the national vote, which could make a difference in battleground states. He spoke to CBS News about his campaign and his controversies.

Your coverage is overtly biased. This is why people don't trust you.

[drbarryraphael]

What a bogus smear. You had no intent on hearing his point of view.

[ccutler]

I love looking in the comments to see that people recognize that this is literal propaganda, down to the tone with which they talk about him. The state of our country and its media is really dissapointing, but they dont care as long as their pockets are full and ratings are up.

These sham hit pieces do FAR more damage to the (mostly) mainstream media outlets than they ever will to Kennedy. In fact, they just prove his point. Former lifelong Dem here. I'll be enthusiastically voting Kennedy this November. Best candidate in decades and it's not even a contest.

[LuteLuterson]

This is such dishonest and disingenuous "journalism". Appreciate you guys giving RFK air time, but quit telling us what to think and let the candidate speak for himself. Also quit it with taking clips out of context to try and paint a narrative. Have some respect for your audience and your fellow Americans.

[blazerim]

What an embarrassing attempt at journalism

[atomc]

For a moment I thought this was a chance to give RFK equal time, then I realized not.

[michaelyoung]

Terrible interview by CBS on a candidate that millions of Americans will be voting for.

[randoman]

What biased propaganda that isn't even true. If people actually listened to what RFK says and don't take clips out of context, anyone could see he is very respectable, even if they disagree with his policies

[j.m.p.]

No matter what you try to make up, you can‘t diminish RFK Jr. - he is a decent man and I am grateful for his wisdom and his dignity. People over Politics.

[ollintzin]

Not 1 question about the issues that he's championing in his campaign. Just another hit piece to discredit him. This is why the legacy media is dying.

[Ang.]

It’s crazy how Americans back the establishment now even though it’s against our best interests

[rrussell]

The most intelligent, thinking, and patriotic candidate in the race. He has my vote.
RFK All The Way!

[sac]

Terrible journalism. Lies!!! RFK Jr, is an honest and honourable human being.

[crismarieb]

They totally twist his words. We are allowed to ask why that’s what our country is all about. We have to hold our government accountable and I think RFK jr. will reform our government to serve the people, we fund everything no one is giving us anything we have to decide what our tax payers money is going to

[aprilwelsh]

Very inaccurate news reporting continuing to bring up issues to try to put negative slant on Robert Kennedy’s reputation
He is the only candidate who is addressing the most important issues of our country, including the national debt, the corporate capture in politics and the Importance on focusing on health and revitalizing our country as well as creating peace in the world
He is a person of integrity
It is obvious if you both listen to him and observe his actions
He has definitely not been cast aside and has a huge following and will be on the ballot in November
Kennedy 24 all the way

[josephcullen]

The introduction by the presenter was mostly complete nonsense. Poor propagandist journalism

[tinatovar]

He's a good man he really is I hate the way the Democrats have done him

[Nardiumms]

This is a SMEAR. Go listen to what Kennedy actually stands on……. He’s absolutely presidential material > Trump/Biden/Kamala ….Kennedy also polls between 6% & 18% depending on State

[maccasjanda]

Biased media... so undemocratic... give him a proper chance... he's the best candidate in decades.
