President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

If anyone didn't know it already (yes, hard to believe), thanks to 60 Minutes even millions more saw up-close and personal what a clueless moron she is. That is not a bad thing.

 

Lock him up! Lock her up!

 

He used to lie a little.
Then a little wouldn't do.
So a little got more and more.
He just keeps trying to steal a little better.
Said a little better than before.

 

I seriously doubt that. It was in the ratings business then, too.

 

And ... if anything she said was actionable, have at it. I'd love to see her get sued. But that's a different point than whether she gets the air time.

 

60M had its balls cut off by the Westmoreland case and has been crap ever since.

 

RIP Mike Wallace

 

I don't necessarily disagree with this. Although the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine and the Equal Time rule seems mostly to have benefited the (extreme) right more than anyone over the last 40 years.

That said, is MTG a newsmaker?

Or a noisemaker?

There's a difference.*

And I'm not sure putting her on the air makes much of an argument toward '60 Minutes' faltering news judgment.

Just to clarify, the documentary that prompted Westmoreland to file suit aired on CBS Reports, not 60 Minutes. Wallace was the front man. The doc was produced by George Crile (Charlie Wilson's War).

 

Joe and Mika think it's good TV when they finish each other's sentences.

 

Yeah, he's toast before it even gets started.

“The problem for him is if he goes too far and starts insulting the judge and prosecutors, the judge may restrict him from speaking. He may pose a gag order on him in the future," Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg said. "If that happens then Trump could be in a lot of trouble if he violates that. That’s the only way I can see that he would have to wait for trial from a jail cell."
“Anything he says can be used against him, every time his story changes, every admission he makes, it doesn’t matter that it’s not a court of law, statements at Mar-a-Lago could come back to haunt him and his future trial so he needs to be careful what he says,” Aronberg said.
