I'll watch the segment on Empty G just out of morbid curiosity. If the 60 Minutes interviewer is as good as they usually are, she'll come off looking rather oafish, perhaps even deranged. I am reminded of Sarah Palin's remark about putting lipstick on a pig...

How she looks to you is not necessarily how she will look to millions of others. They are handing her power and feeding the cult. She’s a piss ant. Her words should be buried under piles of excrement not spewed into the universe to fall on vulnerable ears. Which wolf will win?? The one we feed! Our free speech clause was never intended to let malevolence loose on all of us.
I think you are attributing more intelligence to the T**** base than they merit. Methinks they don't watch "60 Minutes", so the chance of her persuading anyone beyond that base is somewhat reduced. We'll have to wait and see what happens... hopefully "60 Minutes" will handle her properly (i.e., let her make as big a fool of herself as she has shown she is capable).
It’s all over the freaking news!!! Do you think Fox News won’t replay this over and over. No doubt she’s shooting to be tffg’s running mate! The way it’s headed they’ll be running the country! And I’m really tired of folks saying how stupid MAGA are. They have “emotional blocks”. They deny the reality that assaults their fragile egos. No doubt many have organic brain damage, but it does not help their sense of victimization when smart, intelligent, educated people persistently call them stupid or dumb. Many of them likely didn’t have parents that read to them at bedtime or valued their success in school
You: Us vs them. Ad hominem arguments. What "freaking news" is it all over? I read widely, and only see coverage of the pending indictment, nothing about Fox coverage (except jokes). Fox rarely (if ever) replays stuff from CBS, who are not known for puff pieces, esp on people like MTG. Holy cow. What are you really trying to accomplish except discourage people from watching one of the most respected investigative tv programs? And why?
I’m done. I’ve answered your questions. It’s apparent I’ve so pissed you off so badly that you can’t even absorb what I’ve said. Peace! We’re both on the same side.
Christy, I'm just trying to figure out what your point is. It's not clear what you are trying to accomplish. I don't waste my time being pissed off. When I don't understand something, I just ask questions. You may think you've answered my questions, but you haven't. I still have no idea what it is you are trying to accomplish with your mission to discourage people from watching 60 minutes.
So you have decided that no one should watch this program? I don't get it. That is backward. This is what we NEED to watch: a program known for not glossing over things and calling out thing that need to be exposed to light. It's not Fox. It's CBS. What actually is your motivation here?
Annie, It’s the act of valuing the words of someone who has encouraged physical harm to elected leaders. Obviously it’s not within my control, but yes it is morally wrong to want to elevate the words of anyone who has spoken so destructively and harmfully. How do we not understand this after watching tffg succeed? I have clarified my reasoning repeatedly.
Christy, why do you think this is about elevating MTG's words? A lot of people have gone on Sixty Minutes certain that they are going to walk out smug, but instead walked with mud on their face. How is not watching going to change anything? MTG has wormed her way into a position of potential influence. A major investigative news entity is going to examine how that happened. In what way is that "elevating" anything? I want to know how this crackpot works. This comes in somewhere in the "Know your enemy" rubric. And I suspect that Ms. Greene is not going to come out looking great. Why don't we wait and see what the program says? Why are you so dead set on arguing this to death? I am serious: I really want to know. Because your "reasoning" simply doesn't make sense.
Suz-an, you just captured the essence of free speech and its relation to democracy. Putting our fingers in our ears to avoid hearing what we disagree with won't work. Thank you for speaking up. As for Glenn Greenwald, I respect what he has accomplished but have some issues with his style. A red flag goes up for me whenever I see someone claim "captive to no dogma or faction". That suggests a peculiar kind of blindness to one's own assumptions- and we all have them. I think Greenwald is too caught up in his own self-image, and it shows.
It would be helpful if we understood their motives. Are they after ratings or are they on board the train to fascism? Perhaps that is the same thing 🤷🏻♀️?

DO you suppose that if half their viewing audience chooses not to watch this segment it would say something?
It would be helpful if we understood their motives. Are they after ratings or are they on board the train to fascism? Perhaps that is the same thing 🤷🏻♀️?
Ah, more insinuation. I think I'll watch the program and decide for myself. Then we can come back and discuss it.
No thank you
:-( very sad to read this, Christy.
