Alerting the campaign instead of fucking with his account is some serious cuck shit.
It's not Stahl's place to decide what claims need to be elevated. 60 Minutes isn't the arbiter of elevation.McParadigm wrote:B gets to the heart of it.
Basically, elevating the Giuliani/laptop rabbit hole was the primary benefit of this interview to the White House. Stahl told him 60 Minutes wouldn’t be elevating claims they couldn’t verify.
Putting the interview out there himself guarantees that those claims make it into the conversation, which he thinks helps him more than any negative reaction the rest of the tape might produce.
It's not their job to decide what they air? Deciding what claims have merit and what are unsubstantiated false claims is the entire purpose that the press exists.BurtReynolds wrote:It's not Stahl's place to decide what claims need to be elevated. 60 Minutes isn't the arbiter of elevation.McParadigm wrote:B gets to the heart of it.

nah. I didn't elect them to handle that for me. Their job is to report facts. In this case, it's what the president says. Deciding what he's saying that's true and bullshit is for the people to decide. If they can't, then what's the point of any of this?B wrote:Deciding what claims have merit and what are unsubstantiated false claims is the entire purpose that the press exists.BurtReynolds wrote:It's not Stahl's place to decide what claims need to be elevated. 60 Minutes isn't the arbiter of elevation.McParadigm wrote:B gets to the heart of it.

That's what his Twitter account, and daily briefings, and pep rallies, and commercials, and surrogates, and friendly tabloids, and friendly networks are for. 60 minutes could choose not to show the interview at all, it's their right.BurtReynolds wrote:nah.

What the fuck, Burt? Why do you think there's a free press? If all you want is for a politician to say what they want with zero accountability: twitter.com/realdonaldtrumpBurtReynolds wrote:nah.

"It's their job to report facts but they don't get to decide what counts as a fact" is an absolutely bonkers claim, you've really outdone yourself here.BurtReynolds wrote:nah.

And here ended the first discourse of Zarathustra, which is also called "The Prologue," for at this point the shouting and mirth of the multitude interrupted him. "Give us this Last Man, O Zarathustra," -- they called out -- "make us into these Last Men! Then will we make you a gift of the Overman!" And all the people exulted and smacked their lips. Zarathustra, however, turned sad, and said to his heart:
They do not understand me: I am not the mouth for these ears.
Perhaps I have lived too long in the mountains; I have hearkened too much to the brooks and trees: now I speak to them as to the goatherds.
My soul is calm and clear, like the mountains in the morning. But they think I am cold, and a mocker with terrible jests.
Now they look at me and laugh: and while they laugh they hate me too. There is ice in their laughter.
I'm over society quite frankly.BurtReynolds wrote:Do you believe these people, dev?
