Thank you Cathy for articulating that so well ❤️. I see it as an endorsement for fascism and a promotion of violence by 60 minutes, a show I once had significant respect for.

Thank you for appreciating my response. I meant to mention Greene's past calls for violence and public support of fascism too in my response to you and forgot, so thank you for noting that.

For reasons we've stated, and so many more, I refuse to watch or patronize any of it. Not real time, not a replay, no excerpts and no online clips. News coverage now is driven by observed engagement and ad sales from it. What signal are we sending if we all, even with good intentions, tune in en masse to watch a piece on a nut job? Ratings and clicks don't identify between curiosity or overt support. They're only raw data showing interest and I won't add my activity to it if I can help it. I'd rather drive up the click count on stories about Orange Julius answering to NYC, GA & DOJ for crimes.

P.S. Not Cathy, just C. It's for cookie and for now, good enough for me.
