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.
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.
This statement is pure, distilled truth.
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?
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.
Don’t give him ideas about where to deport all those people to.
“Quaid! Activate the reactor!”
Really? I missed that one.
Tucker Carlson wanted to fuck them but he has a foot fetish and doesn’t like their flats when they used to have heels.
Look it up :(
“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”
I saw a meme recently about boat chemtrails (the wake) leaving carbine monoxide in the water which I thought was hilarious, since they do.
They should never have stopped telling the truth.
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.
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
You should. He’s a very dangerous and devious bootlicker.
Good lord, the right is filled with such spineless baby snowflakes.
Do Republicans have any facts to dispute in the reporting?
Or are they mad someone pierced the bubble they live in?
I’m sorry, what now?
Republicans and facts? In the same sentence? Have you heen living under a rock for the past 30 years?
If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be.
Lack of experience is the least of my worries with his cabinet picks. I’m more worried about these guys being so criminal and having their own agendas that trump had to bypass FBI checks to ensure they could get in to begin with
I mean, if I were an opponent of the USA, I’d be celebrating. Putin and Xi accomplished the total and complete destruction of the USA by simply amplifying the worst voices. No shots fired, no military deployment. Osama bin Laden would be spinning in his grave if he weren’t buried at sea.
A russian funded facist fanboy is president. Again.
Cold War? Lost.
WW2? On brink of defeat, nazis ready to step in after trump.
Poor poor MAGA cult you are going to have to put up with ridicule a little longer.
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.
Oh have you considered voting republican? Forgetting the heinous things they do is the only step.
