Who’s gonna watch?
Will you report what you see?
I can’t bring myself to record it. And I record that show every week. It’s off the auto DVR now.
60 minutes is maga propaganda now. No thanks.
Oh. Is it? I didn’t know.
CBS=WOKE? Fox light.
Bari Weiss as editor and Dotard follower. Going to be softballs, wiffle balls and nerf balls. Maybe he’ll wear a fat Elvis suit?
Yes, Bari Weiss is a right-wing propagandist that was installed to destroy CBS news. Maybe David Ellison changes his tune after the midterms and concludes that being a Trump mouthpiece is bad for business, but as long as Weiss and Douthat are involved I have no interest.
I wonder who’s in charge of Orangemandias’ medication, now that Susie Wiles is out? (ETA: Managing a demented old man wouldn’t seem to be in Stephen Miller’s skill set.) That could have a bearing on how he comes across on 60 Minutes, softball questions or no softball questions. Also, will a friendly interviewer interrupt him when he’s rambling incoherently?
I won’t be watching. Aaron Rupar will be watching so the rest of us don’t have to.
That’s a good point—it seems unlikely that Stephen Miller would put any effort into making sure Donald is on the correct medication regimen. But then again perhaps that duty has been falling to Natalie in recent months. (Meaning we’re less likely to see any noticeable difference.)
As for tomorrow night’s interview: yes, fluff and softball questions all the way. They might not be as blatant as some of the right-wing “journalists” in the WH Press Room have been, with questions on How Do You Keep Yourself So Fit and Attractive?—but they may come close to that standard.
Good thought! Of course, she may be too worshipful of Needy Amin to believe he even needs medication. Who knows?
What we’re likely to see is a tough question followed by either the same old bullshit/outright lie response or something that doesn’t even address the general subject, and no follow-up.
It’s the curse of journalism and TV journalism in particular, that reporters can’t compel an answer, and they don’t have unlimited time. 60 Minutes could come at him with all of the uncensored Epstein files and sworn statements from the victims, and the best they’d ever get is “I never even knew Epstein.”
Yeah, I guess for her that would basically be a theological question.
Maybe. I’d expect that sort of thing from an NBC or ABC or CNN interview, these days. But from CBS, I don’t know that “tough question” would fly with the network’s owner.
He’d be more pleased by a ‘let Trump shine’ type of question, like ‘can you tell us about all the amazing improvements you’ve made in D.C.?’
Exactly. CBS leadership has bowed to Trump, in order to grease the wheels for the Paramount/Skydance merger.
CBS was once “The Tiffany Network.” It’s become “The Gold Temu Crap Glued On the Wall Network.”
That so totally nails it.
The main thing: Will trump remain upright and awake during the program? Who cares what he says.
I strongly suspect that any footage that doesn’t show him (relatively) engaged won’t be shown. It appears that the interview was taped yesterday (Friday).
The “See BS” Network…
And just for some Temu gold paint icing on the shit sundae, Douthat is the interviewer
.
So who’s going to sue if they don’t show the unedited interview?
Well, I’ve deleted all the 60 minutes I have taped. And won’t DVR anymore.
Anderson Cooper quit them anyway.
No one, probably. Taped interviews are edited all the time, and the public would have no way to know what was edited out.
My point was that tuning in to see if Trump dozes off during the interview is going to lead to disappointment; if he actually did fall asleep (or have another verbal glitch, or any other embarrassing moment), given current CBS News leadership, it’ll never make it on the air.
Cite? She is not even a Republican. She supports social and civil rights issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion rights, but she does have so “out there” opinions.
Cheeks donates heavily to Democrats. The others do not seems to be very politically active.
