Summary
CBS’s 60 Minutes faced intense backlash from Trump allies after host Scott Pelley criticized Donald Trump’s cabinet picks, calling them unqualified and lacking experience.
Pelley highlighted Pete Hegseth (Defense Secretary), Matt Gaetz (Attorney General), Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence), and RFK Jr. (head of the CDC) as controversial nominees, citing loyalty to Trump rather than qualifications.
The segment drew sharp criticism from Trumpworld figures like Steven Cheung, Elon Musk, and Charlie Kirk, who labeled it biased propaganda.
Some Democrats and Republicans have also questioned the viability of these nominations in Senate confirmations.
Do Republicans have any facts to dispute in the reporting?
Or are they mad someone pierced the bubble they live in?
Good lord, the right is filled with such spineless baby snowflakes.
Ugh. What doesn’t spark right-wing backlash? Those morons lost their shit because the Green M&M wasn’t sexy enough.
Truth. We will be better off as a society when/if we stop giving a shit what they think.
start by depriving mainstream media your eyes. your attention is the most valuable commodity, and most media caters to the right because the left is addicted to being well informed. media outlets do not fear losing the left’s eyes. and they’ve shifted their bias right enough that they’re straight up no longer providing info, just a slightly center right perspective on certain events.
Right leaning stuff spurs viewership from both sides. The left gets outrage bait and the right gets “pwn the libruls” porn.
I’m so sick of american aristocracy running everything.
Right wing backlash means you’re doing it right!
Clarity can easily be found in Nazi tears.
Fucking cry baby snowflakes.
Those morons fell for a ploy to distract from a lawsuit against Mars over slave labor that was happening at around that time, and as a result, distracting US morons.
Slave labor on Mars?
Don’t give him ideas about where to deport all those people to.
I’m not sure if trolling or not, but, Mars is an internationa confectioner who was found to be sourcing its cacao from unethical sources.
Back in my day we had this thing called a joke. Trolling is malicious.
Really? I missed that one.
“News finally tells truth for once, gets backlash from people who believe in chem trails.”
Hey, water vapor is a chemical.
Maybe if we push out that cars produce chem trails they’ll drive less. Oh technically breathing does too… won’t want to do much of that if you’re against them.
I wouldnt have a problem if some fascists decided to stop breathing to “own the libs”
Don’t know or care who Steven Cheung is, but Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk are both white nationalist fascists, so if the segment upset them, then kudos to Scott Pelley.
You should. He’s a very dangerous and devious bootlicker.
When Trump held a campaign event at Arlington Cemetery, and a soldier tried to stop cameras etc from going in, Steven Cheung is the one who shoved her aside, and later said that she was obviously suffering from some sort of mental episode.
I see why Trump would like him. Ticked all the boxes.
Wasn’t Cheung Trumps campaign manager or press speaker? Something like that
Okay, how is this any different from what Fox News, OAN and NewsMax do?
These are objective facts as opposed to random ravings of lunatics. Remember that Fox News’ own lawyers claim that it’s not actually news but rather is entertainment only.
Right, well I forgot they claimed such.
If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be.
Poor poor MAGA cult you are going to have to put up with ridicule a little longer.
