Lesley Stahl's 60 Minutes interview with MTG: A spectacular failure

[grantcart]

60. I wanted to agree with you

When I watched the video I wasn't as confident as you are.

Reminded of Marshall McLuhan's the "Medium is the Message" I find simply having her on walking around the Capital and showing humanizing shots of her in normal, even admirable shots, like her gym training on a national prestige show does in fact normalize her.

Also I felt that Stahl didn't press the question well. For example on the question of equating Democrats as pedophiles she could have asked, "if your followers equate Democrats as pedophiles do you think they are more or less likely to commit acts of violence against them?"

On the questions re Q Anon on her Twitter feed she excused them as staff actions she should have asked, "regardless of who put it there do you agree with the statement, yes or no?"

Also they showed her constituents as being enthusiastic supporters, they should have showed some who think she is crazy as a loon.

I am so angered by her I can't be objective, maybe you are correct. I would give them a B- at best.
