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.

    Shut the fuck up with that.

    Networks and even shows aren’t a giant monolith.

    This is a good, ballsy move by actual journalists that is going to upset a lot of people and get a lot of pushbavk, even from within.

    This should be getting acclaim, not…whatever lazy defeatest response this is.

      You keep replying to me like it’s a campaign. If you like 60 minutes, just watch it.

      I am not watching it because they are complicit and I don’t trust them. Nobody should trust media, particularly network media.

        The important thing is that we use our standards to not engage with what is being said but to pursue purity in our information sources. We should start by disconnecting from the fediverse because you obviously can’t trust half of what is being said here.
