Misdirection is the point.
CBS is carrying the administration's water. Why are farmers and American consumers getting hit hard, financially?
It's mother nature's fault. Yes climate change is an important subject but, more immediately, the immigration crackdown and import tariffs are absolutely having an immediate effect on spoilage and consumer prices but, "the new", CBS has tipped their hand on how they will help insulate the Whitehouse and Republicans from receiving any blame.

It's not a perfect strategy because it brings up climate change and will tick off the energy industry but Republicans will be getting blamed, otherwise.

Just my theory.
