'60 Minutes' Has Tortured Republicans
for Decades

Original Article

Posted By: FlyRight, 10/23/2024 8:46:36 AM

On Oct. 20, the "60 Minutes" squad put out a statement dismissing Donald Trump's accusations of manipulative editing in their Kamala Harris interview as "false." But they offered no evidence in support of their claims. Everyone can see the divergence between the Harris word salad that appeared in a promo on "Face the Nation" and the shorter, more coherent answer on their election special. But they refuse to release a transcript to explain themselves. It's always maddening when the arrogant journalists who claim they hold government accountable refuse to be accountable.

One has to wonder if Refublicans have ever heard of Einstein? Definition of insanity is doing the same thing that has failed hoping for a different outcome. And for generations, the outcome for Rfefublicans has been SeeBS bias. Leave SeeBS behind!

Republicans are not a part of the CBS audience, or any of the other relics of appointment tv. Soros will eventually buy them all for a dollar.

#2 is correct. Republicans have ALLOWED themselves to be tortured. BTW: if you are a “Republican” and can’t see the immeasurable consequence of PDJT, there is no hope for you. And don’t spout the usual tripe about his personality. Look at the Republican nice guys who have finished last and put the country last. MAGA

Yep, SeeBS's bias against real Conservatives, and Republicans in general, has been very obvious for over 40 years. I still know people who watch it and can only SMH since there's no way they'd stop watching. Btw, they aren't Republicans to begin with, but these folks believe they are performing their "civic" duty by watching those liars.

Ask Anheuser Busch how's that DEI stuff and Bud Light doing. I suspect very few of this site's readers watch 60 Minutes anymore. (I did once love the segment SNL spoofed as 'Jane you ignorant slut') But we can still hurt CBS by targeting their advertisers. No income MIGHT trigger a change in behavior....MAYBE?

Targeting advertisers won't work with Soros et al propping up tons of leftist propaganda. Then there's PBS with no advertisers per se. We've made inroads but the left dominate information on many fronts. It's been a very long war with them and it's not over. Yet. Find cold comfort in knowing it they win, they'll then eat themselves. I stopped watching 60 Minutes in the 70's. I don't remember what the final straw was, egregious I'm sure, but I'd been a loyal viewer, looking forward to it each Sunday and then poof, I'd had enough.

I haven't tuned into 60 Minutes since the 70s. About the same time I stopped going to movies.

Former Clinton pollster Doug Schoen said Tuesday on a podcast that Vice President Kamala Harris’ “inauthenticity” is her major problem as Election Day approaches. Polls between former president Donald Trump and Harris have tightened, with Trump slightly ahead across several battleground states, according to RealClearPolitics polling averages. On “The Megyn Kelly Show,” SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly criticized Harris’ record as “not impressive,” to which Schoen agreed, noting that voters appear to also share a similar view.

CNN host Jake Tapper said Wednesday that during his network’s coverage of a town hall with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, the Vice President talked about her opponent, former President Donald Trump, more than her own policies. Tapper said, “You’ve been watching CNN’s town hall with Vice President Kamala Harris and undecided voters less than two weeks from the election. A lot of tough questions for the vice president there. It seemed as though the voters were divided into three basic groups, liberals who had not heard enough from her,

How quickly we went from “joy” and “vibes” to angry and desperate. Also dangerous. Kamala Harris on Wednesday delivered remarks outside the vice president’s formal residence in Washington, and it was nothing short of appalling. Using an immediately discredited and very obviously campaign-coordinated article in The Atlantic from the previous day, plus a New York Times interview from a disgruntled former Trump administration official, she stated in her official capacity that her opponent is “increasingly unhinged and unstable.” She promised that in a second Trump term, he would be a president of “unchecked power,” adding that his behavior has shown him to be “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous.”

With the momentum benefiting Donald Trump in the final weeks of the campaign, the sign of desperation from the Democrats has reached a fever pitch, and the left has now entered a phase where bogus anti-Trump stories are starting to flood the news. A couple of bogus stories have already been published, and more are on the way. Sources are pushing one story in particular, waiting for someone gullible enough to run with it. On Saturday night, Mark Halperin, discussing the recent Atlantic hit piece, which has already been debunked, revealed that he has been pitched a story that, if true, would "end his campaign."

Donald Trump has been the target of at least two assassination attempts. And yet the vice president, Kamala Harris, called an “emergency” press conference Wednesday to tell the world that he is the second coming of Adolf Hitler. “Donald Trump is out for unchecked power. He wants a military like Adolf Hitler had, who will be loyal to him, not our Constitution,” she said. “He is unhinged, unstable, and given a second term, there would be no one to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses.” There is no way to sugarcoat the fact that Harris, in her desperation as her campaign heads down the toilet,

Over the last few days, Israel has shared a cache of secret Hamas documents that detail Hamas meetings with a member of the Iranian regime in the months leading up to the terror group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The documents indicate Iran had advance knowledge of ­Hamas’ plans. Communications between Hamas and Iran regarding terrorist attacks on Israel should come as no surprise as Hamas and Iran solidified their alliance and commitment to destroy Israel more than 30 years ago. But what many may not realize is the very first Hamas meetings with Iran were led by a man whose rise within Hamas began on American soil.

Outgoing Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said former President Trump has hurt the Republican Party’s ability to compete and that the “MAGA movement is completely wrong.” “I think Trump was the biggest factor in changing the Republican Party from what Ronald Reagan viewed and he wouldn’t recognize today,” McConnell said, according to a new biography penned by Michael Tackett of The Associated Press. These excerpts were first reported Thursday by CNN. McConnell said Trump has “done a lot of damage to our party’s image and our ability to compete.” “Trump is appealing to people who haven’t been as successful as other people and providing an excuse for that,

I like voting absentee, and I got my ballot in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I’ve spent a lot of time staring at it, not thrilled about my choices at the top of the ticket. That is, until lately. Vice President Kamala Harris, her surrogate Democrats and the left-leaning legacy media are all making me – a conservative who is not MAGA in any way – actively want to vote for former President Donald Trump. And I know I’m not alone. Harris and her fellow liberals are starting to sound a lot like the Democrats did in 2016, and it’s a huge turnoff to voters like me.

Harris faced questions on immigration, abortion and her performance as vice president during the event which was originally intended to become the second Harris-Trump debate. But some social media users claimed Cooper used his male privilege to talk down to the vice president. 'It is infuriating how a white male feels entitled to interrupt the Vice President while she tries to answer a freaking question. Looking at you @andersoncooper,' Aaron H. wrote.
