You just described the interview she did.

Let me ask you...assuming you watched both interviews, do you feel more informed NOW than you think you would have been after watching whatever piece 60 Minutes edited together?

I'm genuinely asking that question. It's not a gotcha.

Trump archived it on Facebook. What's the problem? That's where many people archive their photos and videos.

I mean, we’ll find out in a few weeks if he is getting away with this. I have no ill will towards the president, but it is pretty disrespectful and unprofessional and is exactly the kind of behavior that has half the country or more voting against him. Just more fuel for their fire and completely unnecessary.


Do you know what their "agreement" was? If not, how do you know they didn't breach it as well? Disrespectful and unprofessional is all Trump has gotten from the media, so I don't have a problem if he gives it back to them. I suspect enough others don't give a shite about the media either to put Trump back in the White House in a couple of weeks

I dunno- I’m not necessarily a Trump lover at all, his tweets annoy me at times, the way he talks annoys me at times. However, I can’t stand the left any longer and equally I can’t stand the media so I found this to be one of his genius moves. There had already been comments about him storming out of the interview etc- he showed he did no such thing. He effectively preempted any slant they were planning Sunday. I can’t find fault in him for that.

Because he fought what was going to be a hit piece by revealing the entire truth and not allowing them to spin it?


You know they are throwing things around the office at CBS today! lol

What would have been a ratings jackpot for them will now get less than their normal audience, just because they couldn't behave themselves and do the right things.

Trump replies: "So sue me. I'll take you all the way to the Supreme Court! Oh, too soon?"

You mean Stahl asking slanted questions, then interrupting every answer with some trite dem talking point and telling overt lies like: dem spying isnt confirmed, the economy wasn't good under Trump, or Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation?

Yes, I agree.

At no point is what she did an "interview." It was an argument. She'd ask questions and the minute she didn't like the answer she'd disagree or cut them both off. pence had more success by simply talking over her, but she attempted it on both.

She then had the nerve to suggest they didn't answer her questions which simply meant they did not give her the exact 15 second incriminating sound bites she was looking for.

As was said earlier, 60 Minutes type edited shows are dinosaurs and "reporters" like Leslie Stahl are relics. Anyone that's accustomed to podcasts saw the unedited exchange for what it was...an argument. Not a discussion, not an interview, but a situation where one person was there to disagree with the other. That's not at all the same thing as being tough.

They've ALL convinced themselves that this is what they are doing, though. It's the biggest echochamber there is, it seems.

60 Minutes is CBS’s version of SNL.

An aging dinosaur that became the propaganda wing of the people they once investigated / made fun of.

Let me translate that for you all:

"CBS news is angry that they cannot selectively edit the interview to push the narrative that they wish."

The Killian documents controversy (also referred to as Memogate or Rathergate) involved six documents containing unsubstantiated critical allegations about President George W. Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard in 1972–73, allegedly typed in 1973. Dan Rather presented four of these documents[1] as authentic in a 60 Minutes II broadcast aired by CBS on September 8, 2004, less than two months before the 2004 presidential election, but it was later found that CBS had failed to authenticate them


So trustworthy.
