I hope 60 Minutes had stratospheric viewership for the Margie Three Toes Interview.

[Stinky The Clown]

We watched the whole thing. She came off exactly as you might think she would. Leslie Stahl didn't argue, but she did push back. She didn't ask deep follow-ups, but she did challenge politely.

After it was over, Margie was probably the worse for having done the interview. The strongest part was when Stahl asked her about things she said and things she posted. And just like Motherfucker, she blamed staff and media liars for each of her past statements and posts on which she was challenged.

I thought Stahl did an excellent job allowing Margie to show everyone who she is.

By the way, one little nugget about Marge reported after the interview. Her national approval rating in 28%. I don't recall her GOOP rating, but it, too, was remarkably low.

This interview hardly "normalized" her.

1. Pukes put their very best out front eh?

She is why there is a view that white people are in decline.

2. Thank you. I guess people think that if a host doesn't wave their arms around angrily yelling

and don't "push back" at every single little thing they're in love with the guest and "normalizing" them or whatever. Suddenly everyone's an expert at interviewing on TV.

And the seventies called, 60 Minutes isn't must-watch TV for Americans. If she'd been on Bill Maher's show people would lose their fucking minds. Ridiculous.

[WVGal1963]

3. OH I disagree

Why on earth would 60 Minutes allow this to happen? Why, why, why….

[Skittles]

6. thank you

WHY indeed

[Lonestarblue]

16. I was appalled that 60 Minutes gave this Neanderthal woman even a minute of publicity.

Stahl did push back somewhat, but just her a program slot legitimized her as someone tly important when she needs to be ignored because she sucks up to Trump and see her support for him as her gravy train to fame, fortune, and political power. Heady stuff for a person who sees herself as the first female president of the US.

[Trueblue1968]

29. for the first time all year, we didn't watch 60 minutes. she is a witch with a big B

[PortTack]

4. Thx for the summation! Sounds like margarine was exposed for who she really is.

[Goonch]

5. 👇👇👇👅💩

[DURHAM D]

11. Bad pic given that it flatters her.

[ShazzieB]

25. I agree, this makes her look way too warm and friendly.

23. Did Leslie ask Sporkfoot what happened to her toes?

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Oprah would have done a better job -- and I hate Oprah.

[SMC22307]

8. ...

(I did actually burst out laughing.)

My preference would have been Amy Goodman or Jon Stewart. A girl can dream...

[LAS14]

9. I want to hear what the far right is saying. Thanks, 60 Minutes. nt

[WiVoter]

10. I'd Like To See Samuel L. Jackson Interview Her

I can only imagine …. 😊

[Hortensis]

12. Thanks for your take on this, Stinky.

[Cha]

13. You're one of the few so far

Who thought Stahl did her job. it’s all in different people’s perceptions.

I hope yours is correct.

[Silent Type]

15. Only saw little bits, was tied up. But, yeah, what I saw was no puff piece. Besides, just

letting Margorie Crazy Greene talk -- uninterrupted -- would convince most people, including some Republicans, she's a loser like trump. Problem is, some of them don't care.

I still believe that most of these creeps don't gain votes by being all over TV. People need to see/hear them.

[BOSSHOG]

17. Blaming staff and the media for challenged stuff

As if her unedited stuff would not have been challenged

Honesty, integrity, leadership, governance, empathy, rule of law, honor, commitment to positive ideals. All have nothing to do with being a Republican in Washington or damn near in every red state.

Lesley Stahl, too damn polite by design. A journalist can be aggressive without being fox stupid.

[thenelm1]

19. "News Nation", I think that what they call themselves, the place...

where Cuomo landed, just did a similar interview with the Bobster earlier this week. Haven't seen any feedback on how that went. Likely as nutso as one would expect. I certainly didn't watch it.

(I've seen the new network's ads and gah, really? Do we really need yet another trash pseudo "news" channel?)

[ShazzieB]

27. The Bobster?

Do you mean Boebert? If not, I am lost!

[littlemissmartypants]

33. I'm totally confused. I'd like to know what a GOOP rating is but I'm scared to ask.

[ShazzieB]

34. Maybe it has something to do with Gwyneth Paltrow?

That's all I've got!

[littlemissmartypants]

35. That's what scared me...

[Pharlo]

20. Hope SNL can do to her what

They and Tina Fey did for Sarah Palin.

[stevebreeze]

21. I am sure 60 Minutes will "balance" MTG

by haveing someone on the far left next week, Joe Manchin.

[SuperCoder]

22. I would never watch...

Or allow any TV in my household to contribute to her fucking ratings.

Fuck that bitch all to hell.

That 60 minutes would even ALLOW THIS INTERVIEW TO HAPPEN brings serious question to their credibility as a journalistic enterprise.

[DET]

24. 2 Cents

I thought Leslie Stahl asked good questions, but I expected more follow up to the ridiculous answers. There was a fair amount of wincing and other expressions of disbelief, but there was not a lot of push back from Stahl. I’m guessing she was told to hold back by the producers or management.

[KPN]

26. Good post. I agree. Stahl did her job. Well. MGT? She was

true to her colors without question. Stahl also closed out the entire 60 Minutes in great fashion. … The shallow minded won’t be put off, but we already knew that.

[cilla4progress]

28. Great news.

Can't wait to watch now!
