Thanks Ben, the only reason that this this segment of โ60 Minutesโ was cut by Bari Weiss, was because it showed DT in a bad light! Period! This is the worst possible example of having the media restrict content from being aired to the public!
Not only because it shows the shitgibbon in a bad light, but shows us what is clearly in OUR FUTURE. Those private prison camps being built in the U.S. are not going to sit empty and profitless. Nope. Those will be filled with whatever AMERICANS the shitgibbon's goons scoop up, brutalize, and imprison. Count on it.
Oddly, last night I watched the documentary-style movie THE INSIDER. Al Pacino stars as Lowell Bergman, a 60 Minutes producer involved in an ensemble cast for the film. Key supporting roles include Russell Crowe as whistleblower Dr. Jeffrey Wigand, Christopher Plummer as journalist Mike Wallace. The film received seven Academy Award nominations.
โAfter seeking the expertise of former "Big Tobacco" executive Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe), seasoned TV producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) suspects a story lies behind Wigand's reluctance to speak. As Bergman persuades Wigand to share his knowledge of industry secrets, the two must contend with the courts and the corporations that stand between them and exposing the truth. All the while, Wigand must struggle to maintain his family life amidst lawsuits and death threats.โ
This is a similar situation in which 60 Minutes is again being pressured, this time by the US GOVERNMENT, ie the POTUS, to pull the story. Apparently speaking TRUTH to power is not permissible in Trumplandia, where corporate power reigns supreme, particularly when the truth runs counter to his/their agenda. But it IS illegal and republicans are snoozing. To what end?
What weโre currently witnessing across the board is not only blatant overreach, itโs shocking, reprehensible and extremely dangerous.
โConstitutional Limits & Challenges:
โFirst Amendment: Broadcasters, like all media, have First Amendment rights, meaning the government can't censor content or punish speech based on viewpoint, as argued in lawsuits against Trump's actions.
โFCC's Role: The FCC cannot generally dictate programming content; its rules focus on technical issues and ensuring stations serve the "public interest," not political preferences.
โIndependent Agencies: Agencies like the FCC are meant to be independent, though presidents have sought to bring them under more direct control.
โIn Summary: While Trump can't issue direct orders on content, his administration has used regulatory avenues, like the FCC and Pentagon access, to challenge unfavorable news coverage, leading to legal battles over press freedom.โ AI generated.
(Scroll back 50 year to the Nixon Watergate scandal and the WH officials who aided and abetted the WH response, then covered up for Nixon. They eventually went to prison.)
MS Now! And tramp called head of MS Now to fire Lawrence! He is so good at tearing tramp n his cabal apart! He helps school children in Malawi! Go LAWRENCE!๐ท๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บ๐ธ๐ท
I have not watched CBS for a while now. After they started firing people because they spoke the truth. CBS should be ashamed of themselves. I hope more people boycott them, as they are nothing more than a mouthpiece for a dumpster fire!
Maybe someone needs to post the full story on social media for everyone to see. I used to love watching 60 Minutes, but since it was taken over, I no linger watch or record. In fact, Iโve almost completely stopped watching CBS.
Still watch my local afffiliate; they're still the best in the area, but as reporters get old and retire, I wonder how long they'll maintain the quality they do. I wonder what journalism students are being taught now; to smile pretty and forget any substance. I remember a sign in my journalism classe that said TRUTH MATTERS and had a journalism teacher that beat it into our heads along with the premise to never be afraid to ask the hard questions. I'm sure he's rolling too and screaming with every turn.
I don't always watch 60 minutes, but you can be assured that I'll never watch it again. Actually, there is only one show I do watch on CBS, but since I've lost interest over the past few years (so only watch it now and then), I won't anymore.
I sort of like 3600 Seconds. Big numbers imply more ; but then maybe not; that's why Trump likes big numbers and throws them around so easily. How about Truth One!
WELL, WELL, WELL DONE. Especially thanking CBS for boosting Meidastouch and Independent Media! Love you guys - see you for the show later! REMEMBER, THIS IS ALL DEFLECTION AND DISTRACTION FROM EPSTEIN
Opinions vary. However, probably the items like Greenland, Venezuela, and the other actions his administration that fly under the radar def are. There are new ones every day, including Puking Point USA
All we have to do is no longer watch CBS, it is just like none of watch FOX and listen to their BS, 60 minutes use to be a staple to watch for me, no longer

Yep and we must find a way to stop it asap!!!

They cancel things -- We don't Watch!!!! WIN! WIN!
Meidas Grows and more people get the truth!
Continue to Boycott the MSM!
MS Now! And tramp called head of MS Now to fire Lawrence! He is so good at tearing tramp n his cabal apart! He helps school children in Malawi! Go LAWRENCE!๐ท๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บ๐ธ๐ท
Absolutelyโฆ CNN too!
Cancel Cable TV Service!!
Use funds to support MTN...IHIPNEWs......etc
Buy an antenna and get as many free channels as possible
Bought a Firestick for my Roku TV 2 years ago and haven't missed the primary channels one bit.
Too many trees around house that interfer with satellite service. We did check into it.
Get an old TV antenna,..........a few channels.......you have MTN and other prog news outlets......win win win
Good idea about the antenna!
They canceled show Mega Republican don't want to see telling the truth to what going on
Walter Cronkite must be turning in his grave!! CBS is a MESS! Keep up the fine work!!
Yes, as is Edward R. Murrow!!!
All of the old CBS reporters, who had integrity are doing the spin, surprised it hasnโt caused an earthquake in California!
As more & more reporters join the Spin Club, they'll do enough spinning to reverse the Earth's direction!
Would that maybe make time go backwards??
Itโs worked in Superman when I was a kid!
I'd be rolling on the floor laughing if this weren't so serious. You're a hoot, Punk!
Thanks Iโll be here all week, donโt forget to tip your server!
Northern California has been rocking, you can be sure.
Thatโs exactly what I was thinking Jenn!!
Not only Walter; but so many great reporters. I think of all the news CBS broke and this just makes me physically ill.
Thank you Meidas Touch for never bending the knee.
I have not watched CBS for a while now. After they started firing people because they spoke the truth. CBS should be ashamed of themselves. I hope more people boycott them, as they are nothing more than a mouthpiece for a dumpster fire!
Dumped them when they sold to the MAGA Media Moguls!
Thank you for continuing to report what corporate media won't!
Maybe someone needs to post the full story on social media for everyone to see. I used to love watching 60 Minutes, but since it was taken over, I no linger watch or record. In fact, Iโve almost completely stopped watching CBS.
This story is all over social media and all other media!
Yes, Iโve seen it, but I seriously doubt itโs the full story
Bingo!
Any links available to share here?
You can do an Internet search and find lots of coverage.
Will do just that.
Thanks for the info, Bluesmurf, and also thank you to Agnesanne for asking!
That's exactly what I was thinking.

Great Idea. . . In 2026, "60 Minutes" on Meidas Touch!
Maybe "Meidas Minutes" or "News In Depth" or -- anyone have more ideas?
I'm sure there are ownership issues. How about 3,600 Seconds or One Hour of Real Reporting?
I sort of like 3600 Seconds. Big numbers imply more ; but then maybe not; that's why Trump likes big numbers and throws them around so easily. How about Truth One!
The Meidas Touch version with a new name if Meidas Touch isnโt enough
YES.. STELLAR IDEA! ALSO, LAWRENCE O'DONNELL & RACHEL MADDOW!!!
60 MIDAS minutes.. ๐๏ธ we're with you Ben!
Fuck Bari Weiss! Fuck CBS!
C-ringe B-ull S-hit
Succinct and to the point!! Iโve told everyone I know CBS is now FOX.
They should have played Swan Lake instead of whatever Bari wanted them to air and then all quit.
I wish every one of them had quit on the spot!
WELL, WELL, WELL DONE. Especially thanking CBS for boosting Meidastouch and Independent Media! Love you guys - see you for the show later! REMEMBER, THIS IS ALL DEFLECTION AND DISTRACTION FROM EPSTEIN
No itโs not. Epstein has some things to uncover. But itโs the distraction of all their destruction.
Opinions vary. However, probably the items like Greenland, Venezuela, and the other actions his administration that fly under the radar def are. There are new ones every day, including Puking Point USA
Stay strong Meidas Touch keep printing honest content!!!โค๏ธโ๐ผ
All we have to do is no longer watch CBS, it is just like none of watch FOX and listen to their BS, 60 minutes use to be a staple to watch for me, no longer
Go after their advertisers!! Let the advertisers know you will no longer buy their products, and why. Hit 'em where they worship.
YES! CAN SOMEBODY PUBLISH THOSE PRODUCTS?!
Try this site. It's CBS advertisers, not just 60 Minutes, but should work just fine! https://www.madashellboycott.com/petitions/cbs-advertisers-list/
Goodness always prevails and with MTN!!! Thank you MTN for ALL you do!!!๐๐
Lost my respect
