Trump loses cool as he's grilled on '60 Minutes' — but CBS cuts it from broadcast

www.rawstory.com

Again and again, they prove their projection is all about intent, and the hypocrisy doesn't matter. They SAID someone did something they intended to do, and even though it's bullshit, they go and do it.

In this case, removed about 60 Minutes "helping" the Harris campaign by editing for time, when they intended to force journalists to capitulate to them editing for actual content.

Didn't he just sue 60 minutes for editing the interview with Harris?
- just_another_person @lemmy.world 6d ago
  Yes. My point.
- lennybird @lemmy.world 6d ago
  Don't forget Fox News edited his interview on the release of the Epstein files.
- jaybone @lemmy.zip 6d ago
  Yeah that’s why u thought it was super weird he would go on the show.
  But I guess CBS and ABC are now Trump propaganda outlets.
  
  UnderpantsWeevil @lemmy.world 6d ago
  As soon as Larry Ellison's check cleared.
  This isn't an interview in the traditional sense. It's a demonstration of fealty.

“I don’t know who he is” - this answer should be immediately disqualifying for a president who just gave out a pardon. They should have asked about 50 follow-up questions just based on his incompetence at pardoning people just because Biden’s justice dept found them guilty.
- w3dd1e @lemmy.zip 6d ago
  
  Yeah the immediate reply is “if you don’t know him, why pardon him?”
  He’ll say “Biden witch hunt”
  Then the report should say “how do you know which arrests are real and which are a Biden witch hunt”
  And he’ll just be like “you dumb piece of shit why would you ask me that question? You know I take orders from Stephen Miller”
  I hate it here. We are so fucked.
- ToastedRavioli @midwest.social 6d ago
  Sounds awfully similar to the whole “Biden pardoned people he didnt even know who they were! Illegitimate president! Autopen!! Fairy Godparents!1!!!1!” situation
  
  blattrules @lemmy.world 6d ago
  It’s only bad when the democrat does it.
  
  phutatorius @lemmy.zip 6d ago
  Always projection.
  And the only reason Trump didn't use an autopen was because he was too stupid to know how to operate it.

  Disqualifying from what? You think there's some guy running around the White House who is going to hand the President a yellow-card?
  Congress has been rubber stamping the Unitary Executive Theory since at least Reagan and Iran-Contra. The courts have been fully Executive-Pilled since Bush. Presidents get to do whatever they fucking want. Nixon was a piece of shit, but he was 100% correct in his assessment of the power of the office.
  
  blattrules @lemmy.world 6d ago
  Disqualifying from public opinion as someone who deserves the role of president. Just like all the other things that he’s done at least five times a day for the past ten years, the fact that he can’t identify someone he just pardoned should clue his followers in to the fact that he’s not capable of doing the job.
FreshParsnip @lemmy.ca 6d ago
He sued them for editing the interview with Harris but he would also sue them for showing the parts of his interview that make him look bad
- just_another_person @lemmy.world 6d ago
  Yuuuuup
- Inaminate_Carbon_Rod @lemmy.world 6d ago
  This is fine
  GOP and their base

  And Sherri Redstone is laughing all the way to the bank :(
fartographer @lemmy.world 6d ago
He should sue them for editing his interview
- akilou @sh.itjust.works 6d ago
  Well someone should

Shocked, yes shocked I am to find that journalism is taking a knee to fascism in this corporate establishment.
kingofras @lemmy.world 6d ago
Totally not alarming. A good solid blue vote in the midterms in just 12 short months away will fix that (once Johnson figures out how to also swear in the non GOP congress people)
- BanMe @lemmy.world 6d ago
  A blue wave is not coming. Go look at projections for 2026.
  
  Soulg @ani.social 6d ago
  
  The trends show that the levels of favor ability we see now predict an insane blue wave.
  The problem is whether or not the Republicans would let it happen. Johnson refusing to swear in the Arizona congresswoman is very blatantly a test run to just ignore the Democrats and carry on with a Republican supermajority and many open seats.
  
  UnderpantsWeevil @lemmy.world 6d ago
  Go look at projections for 2026.
  I mean, I've seen pollsters all over the map. But I also saw "Blue Wave in 2024/2016" and "Red Wave in 2020/2018". Who are you looking at and why do you trust them more than that lady who said Harris would win Iowa by 5 points?
  Historically, newly elected Presidents eat shit in the midterm. Bush Jr was a singular exception, riding a huge reactionary wave through 2002. And he had 90% approval ratings at his peak. I'd be curious to know what you think Trump is working with that cements his very narrow House and Senate margins against a bunch of angry "Throw The Bums Out" voters (many within his own party).
  
  psycho_driver @lemmy.world 6d ago
  2026 midterms will be the test run for the fixed elections in 2028.
- optissima @lemmy.ml 6d ago
  Will fix what? At best it's a patch until some other state actor rips it off.
  
  Draces @lemmy.world 6d ago
  And here we have it folks, the reason we are where we are right now
  
  Soulg @ani.social 6d ago
  Yep can't have perfect so let's have ninth circle of hell instead

Furbag @lemmy.world 6d ago
The fucking media are such pussies.
I wish news outlets were run by journalists who burn with a passion to be the one who breaks the story that turns the whole world upside down, and not money grubbing billionaire parasites.
ArmchairAce1944 @discuss.online 6d ago
Trump was always a weakling when faced with the slightest scrutiny. It is impossible to overstate the importance of The Apprentice in giving him that image of being a decent businessman... while on the show he would act against the script/guidance (I don't know what they are called in reality shows) and always throw the writers in a tizzy as they would rework everything to make him and his decisions seem like a good thing against all facts. Fox News basically is trying to do that with his real decisions, but they can't shield people from the actual reality of his actions.

Every single institution that was supposed to protect the US, without exception, failed miserably in the name of profit seeking.
JargonWagon @lemmy.world 6d ago
Is the unedited version leaked and archived anywhere?
- ZigZagZebra @lemmy.world 5d ago
  I think I've seen the transcript referenced in people covering the story.
phutatorius @lemmy.zip 6d ago
Leak that shit.
bampop @lemmy.world 5d ago
"I don't know who he is," Trump cut in, but, “I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that, and I heard it was a Biden witch hunt.”
lol, can't even pick one line of bullshit and stick with it
madcaesar @lemmy.world 5d ago
The big networks have all fallen. They are no longer the 4th branch. They are just spineless clowns.

CBS keeping that part would have boosted their ratings like nothing else in the history of United Shtates.
Sam_Bass @lemmy.world 6d ago
Wouldn't do to have their viewership disillusioned by any realities
AlexLost @lemmy.world 5d ago
This guy loses his cool eating a bowl of cereal. He can't go five minutes without fuming over rainbows or something. That ape is not well by any metric.
