Leslie Stahl getting absolutely chewed out everywhere for her interview [View all]

Contrary to the poster here who keeps praising her, I'm seeing absolutely overwhelming responses that Leslie Stahl did a terrible job and completely normalized Greene. The interview was described as nothing but soft-balls, and Greene even delegitimized fact checking, and Stahl had no comeback. Green just described how she's a normal person who pays taxes and has never committed a crime, and she got into politics to combat what she saw as a corrupt system.

It was an absolute disaster for 60 minutes, Leslie Stahl, and America, and I 100% guarantee it made Greene seem less crazy to people.
