Intersting way how CBS Face the Nation ended

[question everything]

MARGARET BRENNAN: We find ourselves in yet another moment where global crises seem to be converging, and yet another reminder for us about how to put it all into perspective.

Four times in the past eight days, U.S. fighter jets scrambled to take out perceived threats tens of thousands of feet above North America.

PILOT: That is a T-kill. The balloon is completely destroyed.

(End VT)

MARGARET BRENNAN: The spy balloon and aerial objects are a dramatic wakeup call that the U.S. isn't quite as insulated or as isolated as many like to think.

Record-level migration was already an unmistakable sign that failing governments, dramatic climate shifts and economic strain thousands of miles away eventually end up on America's doorstep.

As President Biden pointed out Friday, the two biggest democracies in the Americas both recently withstood insurrections staged by far right mobs.

JOE BIDEN (President of the United States): In both the United States and Brazil, democracy prevailed.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Democracy also feels under strain in Israel, where tens of thousands took to the streets Saturday to protest against their new right-wing government.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's democracy continues its yearlong battle to survive Vladimir Putin's brutal onslaught. NATO warned last week that China is expanding its nuclear arsenal. And so is North Korea. Kim Jong-un paraded a dozen intercontinental ballistic missiles down Pyongyang's streets Wednesday.

And if the food and migration crisis in drought-stricken East Africa wasn't already a sign of Mother Nature's power, she sent us another signal Monday. This one has taken the lives of 28,000 and counting, lives in Turkey and war-torn Syria.

For all of us, the ground does feel like it is shifting. Global instability may be a constant for the near future. And that may be a needed reminder to put our petty political disagreements in perspective.

2. She left out the most crucial linchpin indicating global collapse: Hunter Biden's laptop.

We need to devote all of our resources to this, the most serious of crises

[hay rick]

15. Thank you.

The reality-based community needs constant reminders.

[KS Toronado]

3. Thanks for posting

[TreasonousBastard]

4. My thoughts as the earthquake killed what will be...

over 30,000 overnight on the border of a Syria in a proxy war and aTurkey that couldn't decide where it belongs.

Polical disputes seem so trivial next to that power. Even Ukraine is small.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

5. Comparing some balloons as equal threat to democracy as Putin? Nonsense by CBS, are

you afraid of an invasion or something?? Look at a map!

I really fear for how easily folks can be made to fear….balloons. And how easily logic is then abandoned to go with the herd.

[krkaufman]

6. So naive.

All this without more clearly cautioning against those who will look to take advantage of the chaos reminds me of the regular bloviating about the need for “bipartisanship” without ever acknowledging that one party has become untethered from reality or remotely concerned about effective governance.

[SergeStorms]

7. I hardly feel that the far-right's assault on women's and....

minorities' rights are "petty political disagreements". 😠 You could also include global climate change, voter's rights, LGBTQ rights, and a host of other major issues in that set of supposed "petty political disagreements" as well.

When you're dealing with a political party which desires reversing the calendar 100 years, or more, nothing is "petty", in my opinion.

[Boomerproud]

9. K&R

Nailed it.

[BaronChocula]

21. Exactly!

The fight against the spread of white nationalism in America is not a petty political problem. It is right along the lines of all the other global threats she listed. The fact that Ms. Brennan doesn't recognize that shows she's the wrong person to "put it into perspective" for us.

[kairos12]

8. Talk about recency bias.

Cuban Missile Crisis was way worse.

She also needs to read about Able Archer 1983.

Another media idiot.

[Crowman2009]

10. She comes across thinking she's a school teacher.

This isn't a God damn elementary school Ms. Brennan. You can't expect people fighting for our rights to compromise with violent terrorists as if it's a playground spat. Plus I doubt the Trump Q cult think very highly of you.

[progressoid]

11. There may be some people who are swayed by her words but

yeah, the Trump Q cult will never understand.

[dchill]

12. "...petty political disagreements..."

What an ass. A supercilious ass.

[KPN]

13. It seems promoting "insecurity" among viewers is standard CBS fare of late.

From what I have seen since 2020, CBS is not a friend of liberal democracy. Unlike Faux News, they are relatively subtle and somewhat — albeit far from completely — inconspicuous in their “conservative” bias.

[JHB]

14. More "both sides" idiocy.

[JudyM]

16. All the money and effort that's spent on and by the right instead of benefiting humanity... all greed

and hostility… like the Bible advocates.

Immeasurable loss… who knows what we could be, what the world could be now!

[CousinIT]

17. Not wanting Democracy dismantled in favor of right wing authoritarianism is NOT...

... a "petty disagreement"

[maxrandb]

19. Thank you!!!

Only in our worthless media, could the difference between fascism and democracy be boiled down to "petty political disagreement".

I guess the Civil War was also about "petty political disagreement".

"Hey, this person wants you to live, this other person wants to murder your family while you sleep...if only we could get past that 'petty disagreement'".

[louis-t]

18. While she's admitting right-wing forces are behind 90% of the

chaos in the world right now, she throws in a 'both sides' opinion.

[maxrandb]

20. Obviously, it's because Democrats haven't "reached out" enough

I am so sick of these worthless "spokes models" cosplaying as serious journalist.
