Paul Friggin' Ryan on 60 Minutes

[shadowmayor]

Pelley announces Ryan as an "expert" on the budget. And millions of Americans are led down the primrose path again. This guy is an idiot. His math doesn't add up, his ideas are tried and true failures, his "plans" don't exist and his claims about regulations killing jobs etc. is pure horse shit. And yet, this wonder-kid can't even admit that Social Security is just fine, with a minor adjustment; and that Medicare provides the most care for the least amount of money. These realities are never discussed, and apparently are not allowed on our "premier" news magazine. What a steaming pile of propaganda.

Pelley lets Ryan's specious claims fly by without any follow-up. His only "tough" question was about whether Trump talks to him with his crazy-talk the same way he talks to us wee Americans.

Fuck 60 Minutes, fuck our Fawning Corporate Media, fuck CBS and especially fuck you Paul Ryan. He can go choke on a turd.

1. Pelley is such a little righty pawn

Can't stand him.

[hibbing]

2. I was an addict

I used to watch msnbc every night, and flip to cnn and faux. I have not watched any political commentary since the election.

Peace

[bdamomma]

6. I think that is concensus

here on DU I am curious if those of us who are not watching the news media is impacting on them in regards to viewers ratings.

All fluff no substance. When is someone on our media going to challenge these SOB's.

[pangaia]

18. Why should they? It is not in their job description.

They are entertainers and they are supposed to bring in advertising dollars... or rubles, as the case may be..

[Kingofalldems]

3. Andy Rooney would have destroyed Donald Trump.

[bdamomma]

4. for sure

[coco22]

5. Yep.

I just watched it on the CBS site I couldn't stand to look at his face it was over as soon as it began with no follow ups.

[mountain grammy]

7. and that's why I no longer watch 60 minutes

because I would be sitting there yelling your last line, and you say it so well. thank you!

[benld74]

[spanone]

[DesertFlower]

a good catholic. i wonder what pope frances would think of him and his ideas.

[a kennedy]

11. Fawk em all......

I dispise them ALL.

[dflprincess]

13. Probably not much

when he was running with Romney, the "Nuns on the Bus" followed him around trying to shame him.

[VOX]

12. CBS CEO Les Moonves: Trump "may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS."

"The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” THR quoted Moonves as saying. “I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”

PLEASE SHARE THESE WITH EVERYONE, since our goddamned media lets Paul Ryan, the Teabaggers/Kochs and Trump LIE about both programs in order to bamboozle the public into supporting cuts and privatization.

[lastlib]

14. Truly, he is despicable. And Deplorable.

And a worthless pile of canine fecal material.

[elmac]

16. I no longer watch any network or TV for that matter

too busy preparing for the Trump Apocalypse, as selling my home, things, disappearing off the grid.

[jodymarie aimee]

17. yup, another one of our WI fucking crooks

trying to pretend he is above board. He is the worst for WI and the country.

[MFM008]

19. Ryan is another one

That could drop dead if he would kindly.

[SHRED]

20. Slimy shit

[ramapo]

21. I gave it all up

I forget when. Years ago. Couldn't take listening to network/cable/etc 'journalists'.

[andym]

22. Too bad Mike Wallace is dead

The interview would have gone quite differently. Just listen how he interviews Any Rand in the 50's:

[Democrats_win]

23. Ryan "we need to make work pay."

Really? This from a man who never worked a day in his life. So raise the minimum wage-- which his congress has yet to do. But give the billionaires a tax cut. That's job one! Welcome to the ship of fools.
