There could be several reasons why 60 Minutes would choose to run this story just over week before the critical election. I think a part of it is that the MSM has lied for, covered for, ignored for, and been in the tank for Obama so often and so shamelessly, that now that things have gone so terribly during his first almost two years, the MSM must get out of the tank and begin to tell some of the truth to preserve what little credibility they have left.

Even Chris Matthews has made a few logical observations lately, and the NYT has published some stories critical of Obama. He's proven to be so disastrous that the MSM has to pull back some out of self-preservation. The MSM is losing audience because they have become little more than leftist propaganda outlets, and the people have many alternatives to them now. Even they have to read the writing on the wall at some point, or become totally irrelevant to most everyone.

My post from another thread on the same subject..

Just watched the story on 60 Minutes.
Not once in the story were the words “Democrat” or “Obama” mentioned by the Reporter or any of the people being interviewed.

You can bet your last dollar that if Bush was President and there was a Republican majority in Congress, they would be the central part of the story.

The manipulation of the people by the Western Edition of Pravda continues.

We all knew it would come to this, didn't we? The Democrats don't have a creative idea one in their entire party. The Democrat Party is built on a house of cards and played out on a movie stage.

This was a direct hit on Obama and Dems. Nobody else. You saw people who had worked all of their lives who were forced to cash in on everything...and still face losing their homes in 3 months. Not one mention of Bush or blaming Bush. This was something else.

60 minutes. . with no liberal spin? What's the catch. . and this close to November 2nd? ?

All the more reason for this solution:

When the current income tax system:

1) Costs US$304 BILLION per year to comply with.
2) Discourages keeping personal savings and capital investment in the USA.
3) Sends millions of jobs, thousands of factories and hundreds corporate headquarters outside the USA for income tax avoidance reasons.
4) Sends circa US$16 TRILLION in American-owned liquid assets into the underground economy or offshore financial center banks for income tax avoidance reasons.

No wonder we have a failing economy and rising unemployment rate. We need a MASSIVE overhaul of our income tax system to reduce compliance costs and encourage Americans to keep their savings and capital investment in the USA. FairTax, along with Steve Forbes' flat income tax proposal, will do just that.

I have an advanced degree and if I was not an entrepreneur I would be unemployed. Praise God for Capitalism; I can always find something to buy and sell!

So many Americans out of work an there are millions of Indians over here on H1Bs doing work that Americans don’t want to do. We prefer to pick trash I guess.

Here in Phoenix I sit in a room that has at least 100 Indian programmers to 20 Americans.

I just watched this on CBS.com.

My big takeaway from this report was that the people in this video and a lot of the people like them were living in a total Fantasyland until this happened.

There was a guy that was paid $200K a year to be a "personnel manager" and a lady that was making $70K a year as an "office manager."

Those positions in most of the rest of country wouldn't pay more than $30K a year.
