CBS News decided that it had to cover the controversy surrounding the claim by senator Warren that she was fired from her first job for being pregnant. This claim is a staple of her stump speech. She uses it to illustrate the double standard with which women must contend. According to Warren, after her first year teaching in a school district in New Jersey, she was "visibly pregnant" so the principal fired her. That turns out to be another Warren lie about her history, just like her claim of being a Cherokee.
CBS News covered the story by comparing Warren's current story told in her speeches with what she said in an interview in 2007. In that interview she said that she left teaching because she didn't have the education courses needed for long term employment. That doesn't fit with the current story, but it's not all that big a deal. Maybe she was being demure in 2007, not wanting to go into the actual details. So CBS can say it covered the story, but it really won't harm Warren.
But here's the thing: CBS coverage is also a lie. The reason the Warren story is now coming to the fore is that another source went back and found the school board minutes from back in the day. Warren wasn't fired! In fact, the school board approved her retention for a second year. It was a few months after the end of the school year when Warren resigned, and the school board "reluctantly" accepted that resignation.
The truth puts the lie to Warren's current story. Her claim of being fired (no matter the reason) is false. Obviously, if she wasn't fired, then she wasn't fired for being pregnant. Warren, once again, is lying about her background.
CBS News makes no mention of the actual facts shown by the minutes of the school board meetings. Once again, they are trying to protect Warren.
