TL;DR Summary
CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil repeated a Trump Truth Social claim about Tina Peters’ pardon and even misstated her age during a Polis interview, a misstep the article frames as part of a broader pattern of media echoing MAGA narratives; Peters’ nine-year sentence for voting-machine tampering and Trump’s subsequent pardon are described as legally baseless by experts, and Polis emphasizes a merits-based approach to clemency.
