CBS 60 Minutes going full Nazi tonight.

[Dr. T]

They are sane-washing a white Christian nationalist group, making them look like decent people who are misunderstood.

Just when you think CBS has hit rock bottom, they go even lower.

[Phoenix61]

1. They've hit rock bottom and continue to dig. Nt

[purr-rat beauty]

2. CBZI

[pfitz59]

3. CBS is dead to me

trash

[Grim Chieftain]

13. I agree

The only things I watch on CBS are Colbert and sports. They are Faux Lite.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. CBStapo /nt

[Ritabert]

5. I'm done with CBS including ALL shows.

[The Blue Flower]

6. I recorded Colbert every night for years

I go to bed too early to watch when it airs. About six weeks ago, my cable carrier (Xfinity) began displaying a message that it wasn't carrying CBS anymore because the Scripps company wanted too much in contract negotiations. I still don''t have CBS.

[SocialDemocrat61]

7. Bari Goebbels

is doing what she was hired to do.

[hlthe2b]

8. Who was the CBS reporter/host on the story?

[Dr. T]

11. Leslie Stahl.

If I were her, I'd quit before I'd lend my name and reputation to ghetto journalism.

[Cha]

9. It appears the "ratings" aren't low enough

for C BS.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

10. Owned by David Ellison now

Cancelled Colbert and strives to make CBS more right-leaning. Money: the root of all evil.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

12. PSA to Christian nationalists: Don't hitch your Nation to a doomed religion. That way, you will still have a Country

once your mythic system goes belly-up!

That's the point of having separation of Church (fantasy) and State (reality). Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[calimary]

14. I remember when CBS was known as "The Tiffany Network"

and with good reason.

Not any more. (Sigh…)

[Grim Chieftain]

16. I grew up in the age of Cronkite and Rather

True, honest, reliable news. Now CBS is just a mouthpiece for the rabid right. Wow, how the mighty have fallen.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

30. Breaks my heart too, Grim Chieftain

Frozen for all time in my memory is Walter Cronkite trying valiently not to lose control of his emotions, taking off his glasses and stating that President Kennedy had died in Dallas.

[Grim Chieftain]

31. I remember that, too

It's seared into my memory. Wow. To have presidents like JFK again and news anchors like Walter Cronkite again...

[bmichaelh]

15. Boycott CBS

This is Colbert's last month.

I will not be watching any replacement shows.

BTW, if Paramount and WB Discovery are broken up at a later date, Ellison will make a huge profit.

[skypilot]

17. Not to defend CBS but...

...I didn't see the episode trying to make these guys look decent or misunderstood. I saw them being presented as opportunists who use natural disasters as photo ops and recruitment opportunities while trying to soften their image by posting on social media about the "help" they offer only to the affected white population. I think the episode could and should have been longer and dived a bit deeper but I didn't see it as sane-washing these guys. I think it's good that people know that this is going on.

[Dr. T]

19. The fact that CBS gave these asshats air time,

gave them oxygen, is reason enough to question the integrity of the story. I saw the first five minutes then changed channels. Leslie Stahl failed to challenge the bastard leader of the cult on a several occasions. The true mission of these "fine citizens" was not thoroughly examined or exposed. Some might call it a fair and balanced story. I call it an attempt to normalize white Christian nationalists.

[skypilot]

20. I'm not sure what you're saying here.

You say that you changed the channel after 5 minutes, so I don't know how you could assess what Stahl did or didn't do. As I said, I think that the segment could have been more in depth, but I actually watched the whole thing and I didn't see it as simply giving these guys airtime or oxygen but giving us INFORMATION, even if that information comes from a network that we don't like.

[Dr. T]

28. Did the CBS of older days warn us about the Manson Family cult

by interviewing Charlie Manson and allowing him to drone on about the good work they do? Did CBS expose The People's Temple in Jonestown, Guyana by interviewing Jim Jones as he was innocently working out?

I don't care what the scum of the Earth think about themselves.

I understand what you're saying. Expose the evil from within the evil. But, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. It's all good. The cool thing about the DU is the diversity of opinions. It's how we learn.

[skypilot]

29. You really should watch the entire segment.

It was made quite clear that these guys are not doing what they do out of altruism or a simple desire to do good works. It was also reported that their presence in these disaster areas hamper efforts by local authorities and also that they spread conspiracy theories and anti-government propaganda. There was one particular guy that they focused on who was quite open about his white supremacist leanings and whom the segment informed us had not even gone to any of the affected areas to offer any help. He's basically just a white supremacist influencer. You probably won't watch the segment but I think you should.

[Dr. T]

34. I'm sure the Oaf Keepers and the Proud People have it

on continous loop in their tree forts. Sorry, the IPA is kicking in.

[Abolishinist]

21. Of course. I watched this episode, and I thought Leslie Stahl did an admirable job,

as usual. Her job is to expose and question, NOT to express her personal opinion.

She was spot on, as always. Take away from it what you want.

[Raine]

23. I thought so too, she was warning about what they're up to. Forewarned is

forearmed IMO. I want to know what they're doing, she exposed them, didn't give support to them.

[Bluepinky]

33. Until I watched the episode, I was thinking CBS shouldn't air this group.

After watching it, I’m glad it was aired, because it exposed these white supremacists for who they are: they exploit people in a crisis situation to offer “assistance” at a price. But they only offer to help white folks, and it has to be videotaped.

[Initech]

18. Fuck you, CBS!

Nazis don't deserve a platform!

[Abolishinist]

22. And doG forbid anyone exposes them for what they are!

[themaguffin]

24. CBS news is dead. Why watch anything it produces now?
