Veteran 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley reported on Donald Trump’s efforts to strong-arm some of the country’s top law firms into doing his bidding on Sunday night’s episode of the embattled CBS newsmagazine.
Pelley’s segment pulled no punches in describing Trump’s efforts and reminding viewers that Trump is the “first felon” ever to sit in the Oval Office.
Make no mistake, the only reason we’re seeing this in the media now is because big business is getting hit. Mostly a shot in the foot with tariffs but let’s keep those boycotts up!
Absolutely. This kind of media is owned (literally) by big business investors. I know it’s obvious but it needs to be said plainly, mass media is the mouthpiece of the rich. It’s no coincidence that Musk bought Xitter and Bezos bought Washington Post.
They will only cry alongside us when they’re being hurt. They sure didn’t care until now.
This is what every journalist in America needs to be doing right now.
I would argue it’s what every journalist in America should have been doing 8 FUCKING YEARS AGO, but no, they helped create this monster so they could report on it. They are a human/media centipede crossed with an Ouroboros eating it’s own shit. Support independent media, not partisan sources in either direction, they’re ALL compromised by capital.
OK, but this is also what every journalist needs to be doing right now.
It’s insane, because it’s not some sassy or hyperbolic report. It’s perfectly measured and…logical. A well made report.
I love this. It’s kind of a rule of the internet that if you tell it to stop doing something it’ll just make everyone more determined. I want to see every group that interacts with the administration be so resolute to give them shit.
It’s called the Streisand effect
The almighty power of spite.
Glad legacy media still has a few balls left
This is real journalism, which has become increasingly rare these days. Everything else is just PR.
Trump is the biggest piece of shit America has ever produced.
Richard Nixon has entered the chat
Nixon didn’t do shit compared to Donald
He just further paved the way
Agreed. Trump is obviously the worst president in history, but Nixon and Reagan paved the way. There seems to be a common denominator there…
I hate 60 minutes but watched that on YouTube. Anything to piss on trumps shallow ego.
They hurt TRUMPS FEELINGS? DEPORT THEM!
-Fuck Your Feelings Conservatives!
Good on Pelley.
That pesky first amendment comes back to bite again!
Anyone have a link to th video?
With any luck this gives the fat orange duck a fatal heart attack.
As I always say, that’ll teach’m.
