I've been thinking about it since Sunday, but I think I'm never watching 60 Minutes again
The hit piece on NJ by Steve Kroft fried my ass. It doesn't mean much my boycotting them, and they not responding to my email two days on doesn't matter, but I KNOW Don Hewitt would have NEVER allowed this to happen.

Fuck 60 Minutes. I wish you nothing but ratings declines.

1. Haven't watched them in years.
Occasionally some environmental group will email me that they are doing a decent piece on some matter or other. But come to think of it, I don't recall seeing such an email in quite a long while.

2. Mmm. How I wish they'd just elected "the (DEM) judge that can't be bought."

But they didn't. They (NJ) elected this creature.

The more things change... the more they *don't*.

3. I am with you on that.

Of course I have not watched 60 Minutes in years anyway, so I am a step ahead.

5. my tv doesn't get that channel - I've been boycotting them all for years now
and since they "digital" signal piece of shit thing, I can't even get one clear consistent channel at all.

So, I've given up on television.

sigh

oh, well - it was shit anyway.

6. Dean Baker totally tore "60 Minutes" a new one, when he was
interviewed by Chris Hayes on "Countdown". Totally exposed it for the bullshit hit piece it was!
