Please explain why MTG deserves a segment on 60 Minutes?

[djacq]

Better off continuing to watch "The Indictment of Donald Trump" on MSNBC.

[J_William_Ryan]

1. She does

represent the fear, ignorance, bigotry, racism, and hate common to most on the right.

[dem4decades]

2. CBS is a whore for the money?

[SouthBayDem]

25. Considering that the Country Music Television Awards was the main primetime show tonight

This had to be a calculated business move for CBS assuming the average country music fan would want to watch an interview with Traitor Queene.

[dem4decades]

28. Excellent point, didn't think of that.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

3. Ummmmm, because of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.

I'm not defending MTG, far from it, I wish she would just disappear into the ash bin of history, but she does have the right to spew her hateful rhetoric, which I fully support under the 1A.

I hate what she spews, but I will defend her right to spew it.

[Deuxcents]

7. I agree. I also have a right to not watch..which I am happy to exercise

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. +100.

I have no idea what hateful bullshit she spewed from her pie hole because I didn't watch the segment, which, as you point out, is my right.

[mitch96]

17. +1

[bdamomma]

22. Now

if they had Boebert and MTG on together .........they both don't get along well. I would have considered watching.

MTG is a hateful person.

[dflprincess]

13. 60 Minutes doesn't have to give her a platform. nt

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. Agreed, they don't have to,

but you would agree that they have the right to do so?

[TheRealNorth]

15. I agree

It also depends on whether they play softball with her or call her on her B.S.

[dflprincess]

16. That's true

and from what I hear, Leslie Stahl did not do a particularity good job of calling her out.

I had a text from my cousin who's so mad she wasted her time watching the interview she may give up on 60 Minutes for good. She had hoped for a Morely Safer type "back them into a corner" interview.

[mitch96]

18. +1 Don't like it, don't watch...

[WiVoter]

4. They Should Have Had Another Interview

…. With Jamie Raskin for example… on the same show

[MarineCombatEngineer]

5. Yes, to counter her bullshit. nt

[WiVoter]

9. Exactly

[Srkdqltr]

6. She says unexpected things. I hope she is asked what newspapers she reads.

[mitch96]

19. she can read? nt

[Srkdqltr]

24. That's a thought.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

10. Because exposing the extremism of people like Greene is part of the job of responsible news outlets.

She is a threat to our republic, and people should see that for themselves.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

11. She wouldn't deserve a segment on 60 Seconds.

[Tomconroy]

12. Because DU has so many posts about her?

[HeartachesNhangovers]

23. Exactly. Every single thing she says seems to deserve a DU thread, but some TV program can't

do a segment on her? Well, I don't read MTG threads on DU and I didn't seen the show.

[Retrograde]

20. She's the de facto Speaker of the House?

L'il Kevin is the public face, but he's just MTG's puppet

[emulatorloo]

21. +++

[GuppyGal]

26. The Sunlight is what is ultimately going to kill these roaches. n/t

[Meowmee]

27. Don't give airtime to fascists/ nazis

Unless you are going to clearly state exactly what they are. And even then. And certainly not her or similar in that show. Mostly it gives them time to promote their hate without criticism.
