1. And so Lesley why didn't you bring that matter up

why didn't you call him out during that "interview(s)"---------------or is just "ratings". Who would have cared if his family was there, this is an interview and your interview was full of fucking Bullshit------------------that is your job, to attack a person that wants to undermine the 1st amendment of your job description, he flat out told you that he was going to go after the press, did you not see the warning bells, and now you come out with a sit down, your just worried about fucking access....................

Maybe Lesley you should get the new cover of American Prospect and what it says about news coverage...........

What is remarkable is that 60 minutes use to have viewer comments, not anymore .....................bring them back

3. EFFING seriously!!

How does Lesley Stahl still have a job as a "journalist" after censoring that information DURING the 2016 election campaign? From CBS News' post on the story...

EDITOR'S NOTE: This story originally stated that Mr. Trump had made the remark about trying to "discredit" the media to Stahl when she was at his office for the "60 Minutes" interview in November. It has been corrected to reflect that the remark was made during an informal meeting between Mr. Trump and Stahl in July 2016, before Mr. Trump won the presidential election.

... in JULY 2016 !!!

I have to laugh at myself for being surprised that no one seems to be criticizing Stahl for never having mentioned Trump's remarks until now, or especially for sitting on them while Trump was actively attacking the media throughout the campaign.
