’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.

the President’s [...] appearance on a nonpartisan news program [60 minutes]
Seriously? 60 Minutes is a "non-partisan news program"??!

This would be the same "60 Minutes" that featured Dan Rather and his totally discredited hit piece on George W. Bush—the one that was so utterly slanted that its exposure ultimately got Rather fired?

Who are these left-wing propagandists trying to fool at this point?

Correction: Dan Rather was not fired. He was simply forced to step down...

Best opportunity missed was the Greenland question. Greenland has been gaining ice at a record pace and now stands far above the 30 year mean.

Trump should have said “Greenland used to be green, Leslie, and now it’s yuuge pile of ice. Be sure t let me know when the Vikings set up their vineyards again!”

Lesley Stahl’s unbelievably rude treatment of the President of the United States, the LEADER of the free world, is much more indicative of her extreme lack of protocol and outrageous behavior than any possible negative image she and her trainers thought they were showing of Trump. Meanwhile, he showed HER home it’s done! She looked like a childish, impudent fool, while he came out smelling like a rose.

More proof that Trump plays Grandmaster-level political chess while everyone else plays political tic-tac-toe. :-)

Leslie scolded Trump for saying China was more of an issue than Russia in elections and other things. I suppose if the news media did their jobs she would know this.

I hadn’t read them. Went back to do so. You are right! People are not as stupid as the media wishes they were.

Uh, actually, those were not mere icebergs, they were glaciers that covered half a continent. Much more impressive.

As my tagline used to say “Normal is Chicago under a mile of ice”.

Liberals like Leslie Stahl are so transparent. Their faces cannot hide their hatred.

I remember when Donald Trump was considered one of them. The NYC Liberals loved him and they really loved his Money.

Conservatives liked him even though he was just considered another Wealthy NYC Liberal. There was no hated of him from our side. He was applauded for his success.

Now that the dynamic has been reversed, the Liberals HATE him with a passion. Conservatives still like him and are actually surprised how he has embraced many Conservative ideals.

We may disagree on some of his viewpoints, but he has gotten more done for the Conservative cause than any GOP President in recent History.

Imagine how much would get done if POTUS Trump had a GOP House and Senate that supported his Agenda.

The sky is the limit.

President Pac-man shredded the Shrew......

“President Trump granted a predictably combative interview request to Mrs. Chris Wallace of 60 Minutes. The results were delicious. Determined to deliver her snide and passive aggressive talking points, Leslie Stahl brought her pontificating swamp perspective.

The indefatigable Trump swatted around Mrs. Wallace, dismissed her crude attempts at disparagement, wrapped her ‘resist‘ talking points up in a well deserved fake news blanket, and offered no excuses for crushing her liberal sensibilities. “I’m President, and you’re not“…

Trump has given many interviews on Fox. Isn't Fox MSM?

Actually, Stahl said Greenland. Someone should ask her why it is called Greenland. Maybe she might then understand the planet’s cooling and warming cycles.

Liberals protect China, which is a far greater threat to the US than Russia. Silicon Valley and the entertainment industry kowtow to the Chinese. Follow the money.
