’60 Minutes’ Was Outmatched by Trump
Variety ^ | OCTOBER 14, 2018 | Daniel Daddario

Posted on 10/14/2018 11:07:46 PM PDT by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

The President talked over Lesley Stahl in a relentless blast of rhetoric that seemed more rally than interview

......the President’s interview had effectively the same impact as a rally; it allowed him to bulldoze his chief enemy, the media, while airing his own points at ceaseless length.....

Lesley Stahl’s interview with Trump was an undeniable get; he’d been scarce on mainstream media since around the time he appeared on tape with NBC’s Lester Holt and indicated he’d fired former FBI Director James Comey in part due to the Russia investigation.

But the interview seemed governed by two motives, both of which played into the hands of a media-savvy President whose refusal to play by typical rules of engagement has been at the center of his rise.

TBH, I didn’t even know 60 minutes was still on the air. Haven’t seen it in 25 years or so.

I'm surprised they still use the mechanical stopwatch image, and haven't replaced it with a smartphone timer app. Probably half of Americans have no idea what a traditional stopwatch is, but those aren't the people who watch 60 Minutes anyway.

I was going to comment on the Comments section of what is truly NOT a right of center website. The pro-Trump theme in there is delicious. More and more I believe we will only lose 5-7 House seats and pick up at least 4 net Senate seats.

Lesley Stahl asked Pres Trump if he will make a pledge to not shut down the Mueller investigation.
Trump responded: “I don’t make pledges to anyone, and if I was going to make a pledge, it wouldn’t be to you”.

Outstanding comeback. We got ourselves one heck of a president.

As a (less than enthusiastic) Cruzer during the primaries, I have no problem admitting the best person won.

Rude bitch!

I could only watch a few minutes as this LIEberal noxious, venomous harridan tried desperately to get POTUS to lose his composure.

She failed in her mission!

I’ve noticed that on news sites here in NJ they either disable comments sections quickly or don’t even offer them; while it is a lib state the literates that can use a computer tend to be conservative (we did elect pro-life, anti-tax Christie twice). I suspect many other propaganda sites will be doing the same; no reason they should offer a platform to their enemies (as we do for Juan Williams).

Agreed! That was beautiful.

“60 Minutes”
“a nonpartisan news program”

...and we’re supposed to take this article seriously?

Stahl is one of 3, ancient, fake blonde news readers, I cannot tell apart! (One is married to Greenspan). They all have tiny, shrunken bodies and skeletal-looking heads. Their hate, plus 80 yrs of over-dieting, must be to blame.

Watched it. Trump turned it into a Midterms infomercial. Leslie tried to indict, smear, cajole, snipe, but she was a lightweight as he steamrolled her and got his message out.

But CBS benefitted greatly because POTUS is a magnet to viewers. Their advertising bolus was likely a one-off they needed to cushion the slide they are making into irrelevancy.

As conservatives, we still get annoyed by the liar media but the good news is the liar media are historically falling into oblivion and there are diminishing means of propping them up unless their billionaire backers can pull out an election win.

As the dinosaur media make their exit from history, the next battle will be fought with the Tech Lords put in place by billionaire globalists. And note these billionaires are nothing more than partners with money managers tied to central bankers and their intel renegade enforcers. It's one big globalist club. They are NOT losing their own money in the process which is why they don't stop. If there were to be financial consequences to their schemes, their schemes would stop immediately.

If Lesley Stahl were a horse, she’d be in a bottle of glue and a can of pet food by now.

Is this really the interview as it was shown on TV? It is chopped up into such short segments with ads between each. PDJT was shown with extremely brief answers, though they were excellent.

When 60 Minutes showed the question about Russia meddling for the second time and Leslie Stahl being interviewed by another CBS “journalist” about her 3 interviews with now President Trump, I stopped watching.

When candidate Trump went on the morning shows every day during the campaign, he was LIVE on the phone. That is how he got his message out directly to us non-elite American citizens. He also answers about ten questions before getting on his helicopter to go somewhere. These are rapid fire questions on different topics. He answers them all without any notes. This interview seemed to be just like those impromptu press availabilities. LDJT has all the knowledge in his brain, not a few topics pre-assigned and memorized from note cards.

Looked to me like Pres. Trump had a blast!

He's so much smarter than anyone in the media, most especially Leslie Stahl!

Bwahahaha, Pres. Trump does what he wants and we love it!

#MAGA!

Speaking of looks....did someone tell ol' Leslie to keep a stiff upper lip? She has that look of too much filler trying to get rid of the tiny lines around her mouth. Her upper lip sticks out and doesn't move.

Old woman trying to look young. (and as an old woman, I can say that)
