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.
So, you’re saying they’re watching Fox News all day every day, but tune into 60 minutes every week, which is the only thing they watch on CBS, and this is the first time there’s a 60 minutes episode that clashes with their MAGA worldview?
You think this is more likely than this just being the classic manufactured right wing outrage machine that spins up every week about whatever the right wants their base to be angry about?
You saw the statistics dude idk what you’re confused about.
Your statistics don’t show that MAGA true believers would be watching 60 minutes, they just show stats for the general population.
