2. TY & Mary T!!

pics scream Softball to me.

Hope I'm WRONG.

[unc70]

6. I disagree. Much more respect for Leslie Stahl

I have very little for AM.

We will just have to hear about the LS interview.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

4. Has Mary Trump seen the episode?

[FoxNewsSucks]

11. From the promo, pictures shown, and traitor-greene's approval,

what else can one expect?

How likely is it that Stahl exposed that treasonous idiotic **** for what she really is and then Greene nicely acknowledged the "good" interview?

Has she EVER in the past kept her braying mouth shut about the most minuscule perceived slight or "unfair treatment"? Why would she start now?

[Just A Box Of Rain]

12. So that's a no.

Which is what I thought.

It's a rush to judgement.

[GuppyGal]

27. +1000

[FoxNewsSucks]

46. It was a prediction, and a correct one.

The traitor was given time to speak and was not fully exposed as the lying criminal bigoted traitor she is.

We here don't need to have it explained to us. The inattentive public does. Stahl failed to make the danger of traitortot clear to those who don't follow politics.

60 Min has interviewed scumbags before, like Charles Manson. They did not 'normalize' Manson. Or the Ayatollah. MTG should have received the same kind of interview. She's just as dangerous, if not more.

[tanyev]

5. "Rep. Greene, you asked for a presidential pardon even though Jan. 6

was only your third day serving as an elected official. Why in the world did you think you needed one?”


That’s about the only question that could redeem this interview.

[dalton99a]

43. Bingo.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Won't be watching. Legitimizing a Christo-Fascist insurrectionist (aka Nazi) is not OK CBS

[ProudProgressiveNow]

8. KR NT

[Upthevibe]

9. Kick. N/T

[not fooled]

13. Hey, as moonves said

about red don's candidacy: maybe bad for America but good for CBS!

Looks to be more of the same...fascism good for the bottom line!

[ProfessorGAC]

19. But It Wasn't

The ratings have varied around the same trend line for the last several years.
And, their revenue increases seem more in line with cost over time, than some sustained effect of their coverage of TFG.
Moonves said that, but he was actually wrong.
TFG hasn't been good for anybody but TFG.

[SCantiGOP]

14. It's like people don't realize

That whether they watch or not has no impact on CBS or anything else.

[Rebl2]

16. True

but why get my blood pressure up and my stomach in knots😐

[NJCher]

26. I used to work in television ratings

I say it does.

[Septua]

15. That is disappointing.

How the hell does a seemingly respected and sane journalist normalize an MTG personality??? Stahl must have partaken some MAGA kool-aid.

I'll watch just the same but Stahl won't convince me there's anything normal about Marjorie Taylor Greene. She needs to be in a rubber room with Trump.

[bdamomma]

17. Good for you Mary

but I already knew I'm not giving this Qanon lunatic who said she knew about the insurrection the night before Jan 6th
any satisfaction. She is a hater of this country.

Geez, 60 Minutes why are you giving her any airtime.

I have just sent 60 Minutes an e-mail my comment about having MTG on tonight.

[BonnieJW]

18. I won't be watching

The best thing you can give that kind of creature is the opportunity to talk about her sick views. This is someone who performed like a howler monkey at the SOTU and yelled out that our president is a liar.

[dchill]

20. I hold my disrespect in abeyance.

But I will not be watching the live broadcast. No ratings for you, Stahl!

[orleans]

21. ten second video (leslie stahl: "wow")

is the wow in response to ms Q stating various facts such as:
-i have to go to the bathroom again
-wearing spiked heels have destroyed my feet
-i like to sneak out to the barn and eat hay every once in awhile
-hoo boy! this bug juice sure is good, isn't it?
-i hope he picks me for his verb or whatever you call it
-Q is my god but president trump is my lover

22. Hope she asked her if she is the 1/6 bomber.WTF 60 minutes.

[Midnight Writer]

23. I listened to a heartbreaking interview with an Ob-gyn from Idaho on NPR the other day.

Describing how she can't give her patients the care they need, even in life and death situations, because of Idaho's crazy anti-abortion laws. How she has fought these laws and failed, how even routine care for pregnant women is impacted, how she and many others must make the choice between going to prison or saving their patients, how many doctors plan to leave their practices and leave Idaho.

I'd much rather see CBS use their flagship news show to highlight these insane laws and an accomplished woman like this doctor than a hateful crank like Marjorie.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

39. I would watch CBS if they did as you suggest.

[KS Toronado]

24. Something doesn't smell right here

Is this the real Mary Trump twitter account? I'll be watching tonight as I always do, I'd be surprised if 60
minutes has turned a new leaf and is now normalizing the likes of mtg or Fascism.

[NJCher]

30. it is Mary Trump's account

I'd like to be "open minded" about watching her but there is nothing to be open minded about. She, like Boebert, could not possibly say anything worth investing my time over.

Watching her would be like watching Fox News or OAN for the perspective of "the other side." They don't have intellectual points. They have talking points.

[1WorldHope]

25. Okay, I won't watch. It would spoil my evening no doubt. nt

[NoMoreRepugs]

28. Bill Paley is spinning in his grave. Shame on CBS

normalizing a fucking whackadoodle Insurrectionist.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

32. No. The ghost of Bill Paley would remember what CBS did to expose Joe McCarthy

and he's be applauding 60 Minutes for taking on Greene.

[MrsCoffee]

42. Oh please. If this had resembled in any way shape or form Murrow's piece on McCarthy you wouldn't

have to keep defending Stahl or CBS.

Stahl did not take on greene. She pretty much swept mtg’s offenses under the rug with her eye rolls and puff piece portrayal of America’s brash little dumplin.

Expect ALOT of pushback from people who are fed up with the sensationalization of these maga cultists.

I don’t recall Murrow complimenting McCarthy, showing him boxing at the gym or how much people loved to run up and shake his hand.

But keep insisting the emperor has new clothes. Surely one of us here will see it eventually.

[Submariner]

29. I've watched Stahl interview the giants

Ann Richardson and Mollie Ivans on together with Stahl was comedy gold.

Now she has reduced herself to interviewing cheap disgusting fascist swill.

[Farmer-Rick]

31. Well they did interview

The fascist Steve Bannon.

CBS doesn't care if they promote the architects of the end of democracy. They make money no matter what they show.

[Septua]

33. I didn't see any normalization or softballs.

Leslie didn't get in her face about the crazy shit she's said and done but brought up a lot of the crazy shit she's said and done. A couple that come to mind:

Calling Joe Biden a pedophile...she redefined pedophile as someone not anti-transgender.

Backtracked from some her nasty comments on her social networks blaming her people who work on her social network and not always being in control of it.

She responded as she always responds with nonsensical propaganda or distraction by claiming to be the victim...remind you of anyone?

Stahl read off a long list of items, allowed Greene to respond and did a few eye rolls after some of the replies. She revealed Greene's lunacy and stupidity. The viewers of the 60 Minutes segment are left draw their own conclusions.

My only disappointment is that Leslie wasn't Nicolle Wallace...

[BigmanPigman]

34. I don't need to be warned about watching certain obvious people.

My mental health checklist includes this. Why would I want to get angry and upset? I am not a masochist. I know the GQP cult thrives on making people angry and upset, it's their MO and it is how they function. I won't play into their shit.

36. As usual - "MTG is unafraid to challenge the system, brave trailblazer, etc. etc."

Our media is garbage and only cares about ratings.

[SouthernDem4ever]

37. Thank you Mary!

[Cha]

38. Kick

[Cetacea]

40. The medium is the massage

Just being on TV, especially a highly regarded show, gives her more power no matter what she says.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

41. It's amazing that Mary Trump formed an opinion before she watched the segment.

We live in a sad time.

What's happened to reason and critical thinking?

[Paladin]

45. Nothing remotely "amazing" about it.

I made a point of skipping last night's "60 Minutes," because I knew the MTG interview wouldn't add a single thing to what I already knew about that fascist piece of filth. From what I'm reading this morning, I was correct. If that means I flunked your "reason and critical thinking" test, so much the better. Want to see me do it again? Here you go: Throughout the course of today, donald trump is going to be a fucking asshole. Cheers.

[JanLip]

48. My reasoning

Came from hearing and reading the crap MTG has been spewing since the get go. Most folks on DU already know exactly what she stands for. She showed us who she was long ago. I didn’t watch it and am upset CBS carried the moron. She’s only trying to mock the orange baboon. Let’s hope she gets indicted some day. Now that I would watch.

[Paladin]

49. Yeah, MOST folks at DU know.

Those few who are cutting her and "60 Minutes" some slack are a mystery to me. EarlG's comparison to Charles Manson on the home page is a classic.

[lark]

44. We normally include 60 minutes in our Sunday evening tv watching.

Not this week. We didn't watch one minute of the nazi normalizing tripe. How could they????

[eezapata]

47. I really tried to watch it

I just couldn't.
