Loved the way Trump buried Pelly, making this washed up lib look like the Leftist vermin he is. The media is committing suicide by attacking this media master. He should appear at these interviews with a whip and a chair.

Pelly asked Trump lots of those got-ya questions that could not be answered. It was unfair and proved to all that watched that the media are liberals and against Trump.

Lame Cherry’s blog mentions Trump and Putin on 60 Minutes.

It’s well worth a look for Trump supporters

The liberals have been slandering FOX for decades now. Now they are flooding our forum, pretending to be ‘conservatives’ and bashing FOX here.

I was here nearly a decade before you flooded in. You wanna call me a liberal? Go ahead, but You might get laughed off the forum by the many people here who know me in real life.

FOX CAN SUCK MY A**

So can any other news outlet that practices the type of yellow journalism they've been given to lately.

Tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com reports 60 Minutes was down 17% from its premiere last year. I don’t see much of a Trump Effect there.
