He turned 60 Minutes down repeatedly. Now that the midterms are upon us, CBS let Don the Con totally use them. Fools.

I told her that the MSM is not liberal and that any station that gives the Rump a platform from which to spew his lies ought to be considered garbage.

up any aggressive line of questions
to come to the truth except of course
When it comes to Hilary Clinton e mail server.
Trump and his aids know that And use it
To their advantage .
The right wing media suppress all views
Except right wing.
The result is no one defend our point of view. We are so underrepresented no wonder our country is so brain washed
by nazi style tactics of the extreme right.

8. Stahl is a CFR hack.

Not that the CFR never makes any sensible policy calls, because sometimes they do (against vulture funds, for instance).

But if they say jump, Stahl screams "Geronimooooooo..."

All of the M$M is corporate controlled, corporate media controls the narrative. CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, they are all corporate controlled.

10. At least some are waking up to what BS the MSM is.

I haven't watched it in years, but because a guest who is a tv watcher it actually got turned on. on PBS I watched an interview of Al Gore and the interviwer immediately broke in on him and attacked his claim of nearly unanimous scientific support of anthrpogenic climate change and inisted that were were at least a minority of climate scientist who disagreed not few a "outliers. " Hell I've been offering a steak dinner at the best place in my city to deniers who can show me a peer reviewed article which challenges the three main tenets of climate change theory. No takers yet. Her only function was to put right wing taling points during a discussion with 2 other candidates. I almost took it to the curb, but might want to watch a movie on it someday.Corporate run and corporate sponsored media will never be your friend.

12. I believe the interviewer was Judy Woodruff who seems to think it's her duty to take the wingnut

point of view when conducting interviews. I remember when she congratulated the rethug congressman she was interviewing just after he and the rethugs had rammed the tax cut thru congress.

We kept wondering why in the world would the media (outside of Fox News) gives him a platform to spew all of his BS. Stahl did her best to push back but she still came off to me as rather weak and let him get away with too much without countering. She really was not prepared for this interview. Anything for ratings I guess.
