Bari Weiss’s 60 Minutes edited its latest interview with Donald Trump to make the octogenarian’s responses appear much more sane than they actually were.

During one exchange between Trump and host Ross Douthat on the topic of Ukraine, the staff at 60 Minutes decided to trim several sections of Trump’s response that included false claims or total fabrications.

      That interviewer is a conservative nutjob. Read anything he’s written for the New York Times. We’re just so used to seeing Fox and CNN-level interviewing that it felt like a revelation.

        I don’t think you can call anyone actually holding Trump’s feet to the fire a “conservative nutjob”. Those are the Sticker Mule guys writing rap songs about sucking his dick.

        But he’s had various interviews where he gets interesting results. But yeah, he’s strange.

        Check out his interview of Peter Thiel.

        An old video, too. YouTube’s third suggested video is usually the weakest suggestion. I just watched something about the housing market and my third suggestion is a product announcement video about some AI agent auditing software or something.

        How did you get Snipping Tool to appear in the screenshot? Is this a new “improvement” since I last used Windows? I don’t remember ever seeing that before.

          You click the snip notification when it pops up following the snip and it lets you at markups, been like that for like a decade at least.
