Why was Bill Whitaker mansplaining with VO while VP Harris was answering his questions

[MagickMuffin]

It was extremely rude and I didn’t understand why 60 Minutes decided to let a man explain the VP’s policies while she was answering his questions! Mansplaining the VP of the United States.

Did Bill Whitaker think that the VP was incapable of answering his questions?
Did Bill Whitaker think that her policies would sound better coming from a man?


They did this in post production.
Did Bill Whitaker get the VP’s permission to mansplain her policies?

I believe this is a major reason Kamala doesn’t like to do these type of “treatment” as Bill Whitaker called the interview. These interviews actually make the media look stupid and it exposes their ignorance. It is a disservice to the American people.


Bill Whitaker you are definitely no Ed Bradley!

7. He repeated repub. talking points.

Yes Ed Bradley he isn't . The interview tried to frame her and Tim Waltz. Talking over her was bullshit too

8. ITA

But re Ed Bradley . . . funny dad story.

During Vietnam he was placed in my dad's GB/Delta unit and he kept panicking at night every time a shot rang out. My dad threatened to throw him out and find his way back to base camp alone - because the Marines who were going to do recon the next morning were getting their sleep disturbed.

He died in 2012 STILL pissed off that Bradley was being as he put it: A wuss.
