60 Minutes Airs Scathing Segment on ‘First Felon in the Oval Office’ Despite Pressure to Avoid Sensitive Stories About Trump

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Veteran 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley reported on President 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.

The segment raised eyebrows as it comes amid reporting that Shari Redstone, the head of CBS’s parent company Paramount Global, had pressured the show to delay “sensitive” stories that might anger Trump. Redstone is currently in talks to merge her company with Skydance Media, which will require the Trump administration’s approval. Additionally, Trump is currently suing 60 Minutes for tens of billions of dollars over its pre-election interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.’

So it's OK for them to prop up one candidate in America and even selectively edit interviews the candidate did
to make them appear better than what they are?
No, no it's not.

The only part of 60 mins I've seen the last 20 yrs has been what I saw after football and could grab the remote to change the channel.

Good for them! All shows come to an end at some point.

The law firms are guilty dumbass.

Apparently, it is Ok for Legacy media and leaders within the DNC to call Trump Hitler so that all the loons out there, which we all know are too many to count, with a Bonhoffer complex can try to be a hero by assassinating Trump.

Meanwhile, Trump is the only one that gets accused of inciting violence during 1/6 after telling everyone he wanted them to obey the laws and behave before the event?

You can't make this stuff up.

Guilty of doing what they were hired to do. There is no evidence that any of these firms had any sort of ideological focus.

It’s just plain stupid to attribute partisan motives to any of them.

While his co conspirators plotted the whit supremacist cadres who were there for a far more sinister purpose, one hinted at broadly by Trump Allie’s like Steve Bannon and Fox News, all promising something “wild”.

Lawfare is Trump suing CBS because they aired a story he didn’t like.

Have you burned a Tesla today?

Violent fascist freaks

So why did they plead guilty? They are a law firm. They have no excuse.

Nope. Lawfare is misusing the Law to imprison or damage a political opponent for a non-crime.

 

[Lesh]

Like Trump is doing with CBS and NPR and Harvard

 

[Marener]

Nope. Lawfare is misusing the Law to imprison or damage a political opponent for a non-crime.

Lawfare is using the law to extort money out of CBS and coerce them to be more favorable to your administration.

 

[kyzr]

Like Trump is doing with CBS and NPR and Harvard

Making the free press and Harvard neutral instead of political shills for democrats isn't lawfare, its turning bias into fair.
NPR is getting shut down. They are a waste of taxpayer money.
Harvard gets taxpayer money, they need to be more politically neutral.

 

[kyzr]

Lawfare is using the law to extort money out of CBS and coerce them to be more favorable to your administration.

If CBS went astray of the law, that is what happens. If its lawfare appeal it.

ABC and George found out what lying about Trump can cost.

If Trump went astray of the law, that is what happens. If it’s lawfare appeal it.

A corrupt administration can hold up a merger to extort CBS to settle a lawsuit, hand over money or change their coverage. That’s what is going on here.
