In reply to the discussion: Mary Trump fixes 60 Minutes blurb for them re: MTG interview tonight [View all]MrsCoffee
(5,812 posts)42. Oh please. If this had resembled in any way shape or form Murrow's piece on McCarthy you wouldn't
have to keep defending Stahl or CBS.
Stahl did not take on greene. She pretty much swept mtgs offenses under the rug with her eye rolls and puff piece portrayal of Americas brash little dumplin.
Expect ALOT of pushback from people who are fed up with the sensationalization of these maga cultists.
I dont recall Murrow complimenting McCarthy, showing him boxing at the gym or how much people loved to run up and shake his hand.
But keep insisting the emperor has new clothes. Surely one of us here will see it eventually.

It's amazing that Mary Trump formed an opinion before she watched the segment.
