CBS News Denies Staging Coronavirus Testing Line At Michigan Hospital After Project Veritas Releases Video

deadline.com:

By Ted Johnson CBS News has removed a portion of a CBS This Morning segment on coronavirus testing that featured a Michigan hospital.

But the network denies claims made in a new Project Veritas video that CBS News was behind any effort to stock a line of cars at the hospital’s drive-through testing site to make it look longer.

Instead, the network said that the hospital, Cherry Health, “informed us for the first time that one of their chief officers told at least one staffer to get in the testing line along with real patients.” But the network said that they did not have knowledge of this until after the segment aired on Friday.
