Scott Pelley recapped the Cabinet picks of President-elect Donald Trump in the “60 Minutes” opening Sunday, enraging MAGA supporters despite the segment’s recitation of facts. (Watch the video below.)
The summary “is exactly why no one respects the legacy media anymore,” one person complained on X, formerly Twitter.
“Pure Democratic propaganda,” griped another.
Pelley, a correspondent, began by noting “some nominees appear to have no compelling qualifications other than loyalty to Trump.”
He pointed out defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s lack of government experience and recent gig as a Fox News morning host; the investigation into attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz’s alleged sex with a minor; and the vaccine skepticism of health and human services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“It’s up to the new Republican majority in the Senate to decide whether these nominees are equipped to represent the American people,” Pelley concluded.
Why are we accepting reporting on tweets as a journalism?
Yeah MAGA reacted to the 60 minutes, but so what? One can find similar reactions on any topic, there’s nothing new that we learn by reading this. It just manufacturers outrage on the other side.
Twitter is the official mouthpiece of the trump administration though.
Seems to be the mouthpiece of anyone trying to argue anything nowadays. you can always find a tweet supporting any argument you wanna make.
For now. It will be state sponsored media shortly
Are we? It’s on huffpost.com. Since when is that journalism?
This could very well be one of the first times a large swath of cable tv viewers and MAGA heard about Gaetz allegations of giving hardcore drugs to child prostitutes, so seeing their reaponse is interesting.
Lol their feelings don’t care about your facts
Huffington Post is has been clickbait trash for a while now.
Then stop upvoting this stuff! During election time every damn article upvoted here was about i.) horse race reporting or ii.) Trump outrage. We have to stop clicking these links and sharing the articles.
