So, Trump's 60 Minutes interview will be unedited, right?

[bigtree]

...since he's declared 60 Minutes interview edits to be a capital crime equal to terrorism, they're strictly prohibited from “papering over ‘word salad’ weakness, crossing the line from the exercise of judgment in reporting to deceitful, deceptive manipulation of news,” as Trump's lawsuit against CBS for Kamala Harris' interview edits stated.

Right?

1. What I've seen so far, O'Donnell is pushing him hard. Of course she will be criticized here for not scratching

his eyes out. There were also some good clips released early today on immigration.

trump ain’t looking good.

[highplainsdem]

4. Trump talked over her constantly, and there was very little correction of his lying.

[Silent Type]

5. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyone watching that -- who is not up trump's rear -- will be appalled. She's doing

her job, showing him for what he is, and many will still criticize her.

[highplainsdem]

8. She's doing the best she can under circumstances dictated by Trump and Weiss. Without being shackled

that way, she could have done a much stronger interview.

A lot of it looked like a Trump campaign commercial. Including his smirking as he felt he had to tell her he's "much better looking" than Mamdani. Whom he labeled a communist, with no pushback from her. Just as she didn't push back against his attacks on Democrats in Congress.

He was very happy with the interview.

[Silent Type]

9. Did it change your mind or any other Democrats. Sure didn't change mine. But showing his smirk

after ICE beats up innocent kids or kids starve, is about as good as we’ll get, even from some podcaster like David Parkman.

The media ain’t our problem.

[highplainsdem]

10. The interview would have been much, much better with more fact-checking and followup questions.

Which CBS clearly would not allow because it would have displeased Trump.

It wasn't North Korea-style fawning, and I'm glad of that. But much of it was Trump lying through his teeth, smiling as he did so, with no pushback.

[highplainsdem]

11. I'm skimming reactions on Bluesky. Lots of complaints about her not pushing back.

Editing to add one example:

I just went through that transcript and my god, Norah O'Donnell was steamrolled by Trump on nearly *every Q*.

(She didn't even bother getting into the Epstein files, survivors, & the role in the House being shut down).

Even when asked about the shutdown he just blamed Ds, no follow up.

17. Both sides equally complain about the media. She asked the right questions. I have no problem letting him talk.

People know he’s lying, but about half of country is fine with that.

If trump gained votes from that interview, Democrats have a bigger problem than any of us have accepted.

19. You don't know what other people know

You only know what you know. And it is the job of an honest journalist to point out and pushback on lies.

[Silent Type]

20. And oncee again SD61, neither do you. While we might prefer she scratch his eyes out, she pushed back and exposed

him.

[SocialDemocrat61]

22. No she didn't and she's being widely criticized for it today.

The first job of a journalist is to the truth. That's how the people will know when someone is telling lies.

[SocialDemocrat61]

18. And anyone who is not up the corporate media's rear

will acknowledge that it was a softball interview with little or no pushback on Trump’s lies.

[UTUSN]

2. 90 minutes whittled down to 15? - Did WEISS edit it for his over-talking or what drugs is he on?

[Silent Type]

6. If she did, she left in segments where ICE beating women and kids, Taiwan, SNAP, trump looks

sounds stupid, etc.

[NEOBuckeye]

3. Bari Weiss can go to hell

Fuck her and fuck David Ellison.

[global1]

7. I'm Watching This Interview - I Can See If You're A MAGA Supporter Of DJT....

he doesn't sound like he has dementia and I can see his supporters believing every thing he says.

He's coming off fairly well - almost credible.

I feel he's lying thru his teeth. I just hope the press fact checks him.

But I've lost faith in our press. I think of them as a bunch of ambulance chasers that he puppets with some new outlandish claim on a per day basis.

It's hard to believe anything or anybody these days.

I'm demoralized and despondent.

[bigtree]

12. meh. no need for that.

...his fucking 'supporters' are a minority who are fast becoming paraiahs among a clear majority of Americans appalled by his performance in office.

This prevaricating and cruelty just confirms what most now believe, that Trump isn't interested in changing course on any of the things he's being reviled for in the polls.

He's still pushing tariffs?

Talking about China?

Talking about the stock market instead of groceries?

Railing against Joe Biden, the former president that just got a lifetime achievement award today from the Kennedy Institute, I believe?

This was a huge self-own that's going to repeatedly bite him in the ass.

Americans are not going to be voting in favor of ANY of the rationalizations he gave in that interview for the way he's fucked the nation in just 9 months.

NORAH O'DONNELL: But so you're saying your plan is to tell the Democrats to vote the-- to end the shutdown.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Correct, very simple.

NORAH O'DONNELL: And that you will put forward a healthcare plan?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No. We will work on fixing the bad healthcare that we have. Right now, we have terrible healthcare and too expensive for the people, not for the government, for the people.

NORAH O'DONNELL: But Mr. President, with all due respect--

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: The people are paying--

NORAH O'DONNELL: --you've been talking about fixing the healthcare insurance plan since 2015--

...good god.

[Johonny]

21. They released the unedited transcript

He says Biden 40 plus times as apparently Trump isn't aware presidents don't get to just blame people for current problems, they have to solve them. That's the job.
