Why would anybody watch 60 minutes? Its a filthy rag of a news magazine. Nuf said.

They, theoretically, could do a story on the embalmers' clots or the massive spike in all-cause deaths since 2021. Maybe they could tell us if cancer diagnoses, "turbo cancers" and cancer deaths have shot up as much as we all know they have.

I'd say with 100 percent confidence that "Sixty Minutes" is completely captured.

Jenna, your comment:

"How about an inebriated co-ed being kicked out of the club for yelling “You work for ME!”

For the record, you just heard that someone might have done that once, right?

No speaking from 'personal experience' I trust.

Yeah, I used to watch religiously.

Stopped about 10 years ago, and never watched again.

Of course, I'll see snippets on Substacks...

I haven't watched 60 Minutes for two decades now. Not gonna start now. And O'Donnell is unbearable.

Commoncents, I am entering your "Why would anybody watch 60 Minutes?" into the Bumper Sticker of the Year contest, which is designed to popularize "snippets" which could--accidentally--trigger a "reset" in a brain-dead person at a stoplight. Thank you.

It’s time to put the Main Stream Media out of their TDS misery. Ban all pharmaceutical ads!

This might be the best solution. They were banned once upon a time Reagan had no idea what his idea would lead to

60 minutes.... lol. Does anyone take them or any other MSM outlet seriously anymore?

Why do presidents have to pardon so many people in the first place? Why was Fauci pardoned by the previous administration if he didn't do anything wrong?

Instead of pardoning people, why not help people get their lives back for refusing to take the clot shots? https://substack.com/@richliebman/note/c-172841247

Trump has had countless of opportunities to stop the death jabs and here we are still silently suffering and dying while debating distractions.

Seemingly unrelated, Reiner Fuellmich has been sitting in prison for years now because he dared to challenge the ongoing covid conspiracy cover up. Why doesn't Trump do something about that?

It doesn't matter if Trump was edited to look good or bad. The needle didn't budge. If you didn't like Trump before the interview, you still don't like him. If you were for him, you're still in his camp.

100%.

It's probably time to stop talking to these idiots/charlatans and just get on with DOING what needs to be done to fix this country.

But he is trying to talk sense to the crazy half of this country; hard to fault him for that.

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that a card-carrying member of the MSM misportrayed the words of a conservative leader.

Simply shocked.

Honestly, if it's coming from CBS or any of the other MSM suspects, it makes zero difference to me what they're saying or asking. It's ALL a sham.

Why do Republicans do that show? You know they will ask you gotcha questions, they’re going to edit the shit out of it to make you look bad, and the hosts are always disingenuous and snippy. There is zero reason to do it any more. So frustrating to watch it blow up in their faces. Like Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football, they just won’t learn.

It’s watch by many who grew up with only MSM as the source of info. Too bad those masses can’t recognize the world has changed and truth must be detected by reading other sources and using critical thinking.

The MSM actually gives us the truth on many issues - it's the opposite of what their reporting says it is.

F.J., you found the Perfect Analogy. "Doing 60 Minutes", for the Republican Party, is apparently "irresistible." Pre-Trump, another one was, "playing fair" and not sucker-punching their sucker-punching opponents.

I _hate_ that Trump props them up by playing along. "What if They Gave a Newscast and Nobody Came?"

I think Trump agreed to be on 60 Minutes to expose them to the viewers who still watch that useless show. I've noticed Trump does this kind of thing a lot to expose various entities.

David Nelson's avatar

Not least to expose that they CANNOT force themselves to ADMIT he is the duly elected POTUSA. You're right, thanks. I guess I don't really want 60 Minutes to feed the fishes; what I really want is for it to be legitimate again. M60LA!

I suspect the majority of the public is getting savvy enough to make their own decisions when provided with completely unedited information. This never-ending game of the two-party duopoly is a draining waste of time. And while humanity, the environment, and creativity suffers, the Elite sits back and plays the harp while Rome burns, much like the tyrannical, self indulgent Nero of ancient Rome did

“In other shocking news, Epstein didn’t kill himself, our borders aren’t airtight and Bill Gates wants you dead.” 😝😝😝😝

I just watched it last night and IMO, Trump did a pretty good job of not allowing himself to be interrupted as often as Nora tried. She was loaded for bear but he somehow seemed to be two bears, at certain points?

Nora is the most classy, angelic looking liberal in the USA, so kudos to whoever (whomever?) hired her, but a couple of times, her well polished liberal veneer seemed to slightlyyyy crack.

If you listen to DJT long enough, you can’t help but respect some of the things he says.

I give her a B- and PRESIDENT Trump a B+.

The only program I ended up watching on that entire rotten channel was The Amazing Race. That’s it. However, I’m kind of over even that at this point. I like Jpeach’s punishment of CBS and all of the rest of the liars—take away PHARMA $$$. So much for installing Weiss.

I enjoyed watching the Buffalo Bills beat the Kansas City Chiefs, then 60 minutes came on and the TV went off. Haven't regularly watched any MSM programming since the TV show Lou Grant in the late 70s. Recently my library had the full 5 season DVD set for Lou Grant and I watched it. In that series Lou was the editor of the LA Tribune and much of the drama involved journalistic ethics, it seem so quaint and long ago.
