Side-by-side comparison of 60 minutes deceptive editing of President Trump

The only thing that looks bad is Trump, as usual. What kind of questions did he expect? He's a divisive president who hates the media(unless they love him), loves the drama, is combative and rude, and lies constantly. He's spent four years denigrating journalists. And he's running for reelection hinging his campaign partially on his insistent and stupid denial that COVID-19 is not a serious issue. Did he not think that all of his lies and asinine positions would not get brought up, 1 week before an election? He was rude because he doesn't like being reminded that he may lose, but even more so, because it reminded him that he's not as great as he thinks he is.

Why do you think he only deals with FOX? They fawn over him. Most of the rest of the media does not.

 

Trump posted a video on purpose? You don't say.

 

They have no duty to the American people. None at all. They all work for private for-profit companies.

 

No, acted the way he did in the interview. And then because he knows his supporters eat this stuff up and because he likes sticking it to the media, he released it early, breaking an agreement.

 

Trump always acts that way. It's not a grand scheme.

 

I guarantee you that no democrat with a press pass would know that name if their lives depended on it.

 

The unedited version makes Trump look even worse!

An example: Trump's crowd ends up chanting "Locker her up!". In your interview, Trump denies encouraging theseTrumpies these to chant to lock up the Governor of a State the kidnappers had caught, but there is Trump, walking back and forth and Trump is chanting along Clapping!

Yet in the interview, Trumps claims he didn't encourage his followers.

These claims are BS.

 

Agreed, but then criticizing them isn't unfair either.

 

Well, if we follow along a logical chain of events, they started it and he followed it up and roused up the crowd. That isn't really encouraging. It'd be one thing to say: "You could send a different message", but to say he encouraged them. is the same thing as wailing about the mask that the President has worn, and no one knows if the mask would've prevented him from getting COVID.

(And on that note, his relative health post-covid infection should be a welcome sign that it's not as life threatening(at least in the short term). There probably are long-term ailments but he won't be POTUS by then and thus not the same level of concern.

 

Its the only safe move these days. You basically have to film any and all interactions with the rabid far left now just to keep yourself from being edited into 'treason'.

 

Trump rousing up the crowd because "they started it" is one of the pathetic examples of Reight Wing BS I have heard in a long time!

But this quite typical of Republican duplicity in a long, long time!

Trump clapping his hands as he claps his hand to get the crowd riled is NOT "encouraging" the crowd?

Particular when the chant is "Lock her up" is Trump and this crowd wishing to lock up a duly elected American Governor who was the subject of a 14 member Right Wing group to kidnap her and kill her, stopped only by the FBI arresting these terrorists just before they went into action?

The President of the United States was PERSONALLY building up the crowd to clapping his OWN hands and chanted to "lock up" a Governor of a USA state!

"Patriots" must be proud!

 

Ignoring how disgustingly biased she was... it is absolutely journalistic malpractice that 60 minutes didn’t air the part where Trump described his voters. That’s absolutely atrocious journalism. They should be ashamed of themselves.

 

That was my point. No, not some grand diabolical scheme. This is just Trump doing what he always does to stir up his base.

 

The death threats were See-BS's way of covering their embarrassment that Trump beat them to it with their own material. Pump out enough smoke, maybe nobody will remember the unedited interview at all.

 

Wasn't he the Bernie Bro. exercising his right to peaceful demonstration?

 

Good stuff LMAO

 

Ya but your post countered it

 

Trump jumped straight to the 'fake news' argument. What kind of interview is that? Why would he agree to the interview if his only purpose was to discuss the fake media? He wanted to use the 60 minutes spot to complain and accuse and bring up Biden. Stahl actually called him on the attacks - which is all he'd done to that point.

 

No that is more BS from Trump supporters that go around calling others hateful !!!

 

It was all they had to offset bad publicity. Side by side, their treatment showed bias on several levels but that is entirely Trump's point and they walked right into it. It was brilliant self-defense for him to let the uncut tape get out.

 

Is that how you rationalize death threats. Threaten to kill someone because you don't like the questions they ask !!!!!!

 

Glad Trump released the full version early. I watched it on his social media.

 

You lost me in that veer into insinuation, so let's back you out of the tall grass and see if you can't get a better grip on your subject.

You imply it was someone on Trump's side making death threats which CBS has yet to prove ever happened, is that about it? Yes, please, sir, may I have another? Spoon it out, it's what's for liberal supper taking the word of paid liars like they are.

And what about how they left out Trump's positive points, as the two items do show? Sorry. He knew they'd set him up with talking-points questions to get him angry at their vapidity and partisanship. He let out the unedited version ahead of them and killed any chance at hackery. He triumphed. As he will on Tuesday.

 

C'mon AN.

Hearing the right in this country making these claims is astonishing. Fox News has literally weaponized this very tactic, and then the right feigns outrage when it is used against them? This IS the the beast created by the right. The right in this country was the primary driver for the removal of the Fairness Doctrine. And when they use it, it's crickets, but when used against them they feign outrage. It wasn't 60 minutes who went all the way tp the Supreme Court to lie and call it news, it was FOX News, and the right in this country actually celebrated it.

Look, I believe about 10% of what we read/see in todays media landscape. I do my own research on the big issues. Sensationalism sells, so therefore everything has to be sensationalized. Matt Tiabbi wrote a great book on it called "Hate Inc". Everything we see today is either far right, or far left, very little if any is even close to the middle. Hell, even in our candidates we go either far left, or far right, and very very few are anywhere near the middle. And the policies they forward aren't for America, they are for the base that elected them. Therefore we have policies designed to help their base, but in the adverse, designed to alienate everyone else. And yes, the media stokes that divide, because, well, that sells.

We have no-one to blame for this but ourselves. We currently have one of the most divisive figures in the history of politics as our president today. YES, he does get some bad media coverage, like every other president, but with his own words he is divisive. I think if most conservatives were honest, they would admit that.

 

FOX News invented and weaponized this tactic. Stop with the feigned outrage.
