Once upon a time, 60 Minutes used to be a reputable news show. Based on that hard-fought reputation of accurate reporting and highlighting of issues, it's clear some group has cleverly infiltrated CBS's most accurate news show, and is using that reputation to spread lies. Most Americans will believe those lies because they've trusted 60 Minutes for decades. This is what's really alarming to me.
