US Navy Vet-worked in a SCIF & drove ships. Conservative Independent. X is more than politics-broaden your horizons. I block idiots liberally (both sides) 🇺🇸
An average of 17 Veterans die by suicide each day, and that is 17 too many. If you’re a Veteran in crisis or concerned about one, contact the Veterans Crisis Line to receive 24/7 confidential support. To reach responders, dial 988 then Press 1. You don't have to be enrolled in @DeptVetAffairs benefits or health care to call.
@davidalancrow@CGasparino This was after the "settlement" where they agreed to also release full transcripts and post full unedited video for long form interviews. This was the consequence from the Harris edits.
Hmmm. Alfonsi piece on Covid vax with Desantis and Publix? Lesley Stahl denying the Hunter Biden laptop was real? The Pelley piece with Biden where he went out of his way to cover for and excuse Biden's alertness and answers? Whitaker's interview with Harris-do you think they would have ever done such sympathetic cuts for JD Vance or any Republican? Then there is the oldie but goodie Dan Rather fake documents scandal against George W. Bush during the eve of the election. I watch 60 Minutes on a regular basis and the tone towards conservatives versus liberal is pretty noticeable. I think its easy stuff like that that Weiss is trying to weed out.
I think they get it right about 90% of the time, but when they don't it disparately impacts one side of the political spectrum exclusively. Do you have any clips or examples of 60 Minutes getting it wrong when it comes to a Democrat or liberal position? Do you believe 60 Minutes has historically been right down the middle and treating both political parties fairly and offering the same courtesies?
@JeffCoo57387099@johnberger56@benshapiro I have said, to the disagreement of many right wingers I think 60 Minutes gets it right about 90% of the time. It's just that when they don't it's always to the detriment of one side. Funny how that works out.
@24_Snowflakes@johnberger56@benshapiro I've watched 60 Minutes & ever since Covid I think 75% of the ads are pharmaceuticals with Pfizer actually getting billing within the broadcast. I'm still waiting for Sec Kennedy to ban drug companies from advertising on broadcast. But ratings are up so...
@AEM_1981@SteveMatthews12 About 60% of the US population doesn't have access to any of these channels as they are exclusively on cable & most don't even have 100k peak prime time viewers. The merger is all about studios & streaminng. Broadcast will cease to exist in a meaningful way.
@AEM_1981@SteveMatthews12 They will not control 35% of all media consumption in a world that includes Youtube, Netflix & Disney. Paramount & Warners employ a lot of people in California and their long term viability as standalone companies is in doubt. They have far more to lose by blocking it.
@brhodes How would you handle a subordinate who demanded answers like Pelley did when you worked at the NSC who demanded you tell them why you made specific personnel decisions? Seems like Pelley has a history….

Here is the impossibly POMPOUS and SHALLOW Scott PELLEY bitching and moaning about his “incompetent bosses” SEVEN YEARS AGO. “Personally” I would have Fired this BLOWHARD just for that Phony Voice and being an obnoxious “self-righteous” SNOB!

@ChadHartmanShow It amazes me that you think management is compelled or should explain to a subordinate why they made specific personnel decisions. I have a feeling if you were the boss, it would be different. Pelley just looks like a petulant baby.
Multiple layers of CBS/Paramount mgmt found him qualified for the position & extended an offer of employment. They're the only ones whose opinion matters, not mine, yours or Pelley's. Bilton has worked in multiple media orgs for over 20 years. He can't do any worse than previous mgmt.
CBS 60 Minutes Ratings - 2000 to 2026
60 Minutes has declined for over two decades as viewing habits have changed.
The 2025–2026 season under @BariWeiss, it averaged 9.1 million viewers, a +9% increase.
So much for @ScottPelley’s claim that she’s “murdering” the show.
The left's perception of reality has been so warped by Trump that they now think Bari Weiss and Susan Collins are the personification of MAGA. It's nutty.
@HunterBiden You sound jealous that pop pop didn't get another term and your ability to grift came to a humiliating end. I don't like all this self dealing and trading off family names, but you sir, need to STFU, pick up the phone and make amends with your daughter. Thats all that matters.
