The 60 Minutes interview was good advertising for Harris. Bad for Trump.

How To Post Here
Correspondent Bill Whitaker asked both Harris and Walz tough questions. As per their style the show cut away to rally scenes and other people mid-interview. The bottom line is that Harris came across well and presidential.
Nobody can say with a straight face that the interview was soft. Whitaker asked Harris about how her proposals could be paid for "in the real world" saying that the Republican Congress won't agree. The question was unfair as it makes assumptions. It assumes that the Republicans will always control the House and Senate and that they will be recalcitrant and adverse to any Harris proposal. EVERY presidential (and congressional) campaign promise has the implicit caveat, that it is subject to modification to meet congressional approval.
Trump on the other hand, looked bad in absentia. CBS detailed his agreeing to participate then backing out when he realized that there would be fact checking. They fact checked him anyway, including his bogus excuse for not appearing.
In Trump's absence, they filled the time with a Republican Maricopa county clerk who faced the wrath of election deniers for having the gall to deem the 2020 election there as fair and honest.
One of Harris's best lines was about Ukraine. She said Trump promised to end that war in "one day". She said, "you know that means: surrender".

I didn't see it.
What I am seeing is ALL of right-wing media offering mild praise to Bill Whitaker and suggesting it was a disaster for the Dingbat.
That gay Guy you never heard of is a useful bellwether. He's bright, informed, non MAGA, yet partisan. He retweeted this:
Wow. 60 Minutes mildly pressed Kamala Harris on why she opened the southern border and then waited 3.5 years to reverse course, and she completely melted down in response. Kamala is not ready for primetime ...
That exchange on the border is, essentially, playing on a loop over here. She's a moron.
What I can't tell with you, Curt, is if you are serious. x.com

Wow. What a giveaway.
I mean, why should Hate ever go to all the trouble of exposing himself to things that he could form his own opinions about with his own brain and sensory organs, when he's got all these MAGA Hat bullshit propagandists to tell him what to think about things he never watched, read, or heard?
You are a willfully brainless zombie cult member, Bill.
by Ponderer on October 8, 2024 7:36 am
Yeah, Curt. We watched it and Kamala did a fine job.
It's just despicable how the MAGA Hats in here are so desperate to counter and excuse Trump's pants-pissing cowardice for running away from this interview that they have to lie about how well his opponent did in hers.
Absolutely despicable.

I don’t recall ever hearing a person being referred to as a “bellwether”. Maybe it’s appropriate as a bellwether is a castrated sheep or goat.

No one here defended OrangeTurdBad but, considering the way 60 Minutes abused him in 020, it's easy to understand that he'd decline the interview.
Ole pb thinks KK hurt herself with moderate and independent common sense voters on the border questions... and how she'll work with Congress to get her economic "plan" passed.
The longer the campaign goes, the more ole pb thinks it's a tragedy that the race came down to these two.

"but, considering the way 60 Minutes abused him in 020" -Hate
Oh I see. He was only a flaming, pants-pissing coward this time because he was a such a flaming, pants-pissing coward the last time.
Hate can't even explain what it was in 2020 that he was so terrified of addressing that he pretended like they were being mean to him.
"So, are you ready for some tough questions?" -Leslie Stahl
No he wasn't. That's why he got up and walked out of the interview when she asked him that.
What a horribly mean thing to say to a person you are going to interview!!! Such heartless abuse!!!

Holy freakin friggin EFFINcow, man. Our Kammy has been avoiding the national press as if it's an execution squad and Trump turns down one interview...
by Curt_Anderson on October 8, 2024 9:33 am You can count on one hand the number of interviews Trump has done that were NOT on the friendly terrain of FOX News, NewsMax, with Elon Musk, Tulisi Gabbard, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, et cetera in the last four years.

"Our Kammy has been avoiding the national press as if it's an execution squad" -Hate
Absolute and total bullshit.
All you ever have is total bullshit, Bill. Why is it that all you ever have is flaming, bald-faced, propagandist bullshit?
And to get all up in arms about Kamala not doing interviews when Trump won't interview with anyone who hasn't already given him a blow job...
What a boundlessly abject hypocrite you are, Bill.
by HatetheSwamp on October 8, 2024 9:46 am
po,
Unless you're an idiot,... oh, yeah, right,... you have to realize that Trump's rise in presidential betting odds of nearly 9 points in the last two weeks has Cackles Mckneepads in a panic and it's forcing her to take interviews in desperation.
I don't think she helped herself, nor OrangeTurdBad hurt himself, over 60 MINUTES. And, it's still too late... but, it's getting there.
Still, let's us keep a good thought!

Meanwhile the only place you see Trump is in front of his fawning MAGAt cult rallies or in front of his fawning MAGAt favorite network Fox.

by Curt_Anderson on October 9, 2024 11:06 am If there was any doubt that the 60 Minutes interview was good for Harris, consider Trump's complaints about it. As I've said before, it's always the losers who complain about the officiating and the field conditions.
Trump ignores First Amendment again and says news network should be investigated over Harris interview
The former president has continued to threaten news networks, baselessly throwing out allegations of corruption and bias
“I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (‘cut and pasted’) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the ‘News Division,’ which must be licensed, to make her look ‘more Presidential,’ or a least, better,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday.
He claimed that the interview may amount to a “major Campaign Finance Violation” and demanded a “MAJOR AND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY.”

If anyone got help from the media - it was Trump in 2016. Estimates were he got $1.4B worth of free advertising from the networks.

by Indy! on October 9, 2024 3:16 pm
We know what they're saying on Fox because you are their minion reporting it to us every day.
