   Just saw the interview of President Trump by Leslie Stahl...
   Priceless.
   It goes to show, the media still doesn’t get it. And they probably never will.
   
   The line of questioning sounds like a 3rd degree interrogation and past GOP politicians would ave just cave under. Not Trump...
   He challenged her on every point.
   
   Those questions were unfair and they would never treat a Democrat that way...
   Talk about a biased media. This was so obvious, a 3rd grader would see through it.
   
   These are intelligent and seasoned journalist...
   They have writers and producers and all kind of people producing this interview.
   Yet, they chose the low road with Trump.
   Not one positive question about the good he has done.
   Where is the balance?
   The focus is always on the negative.
   
   The American people are not stupid. CBS has failed the test.
   They are not the conscious of the country. If they were, they would do some self reflection.
   I love to see a show by 60 minutes applying the same standards they have to Les Moonves. That would be a show to die for...

      He did take her to the woodshed.  What solidifies your point is how the media headlines reported on the interview.  They make it sound like the President was on defense the whole time and that Stahl was challenging him on all his failures.  It's cherry-picked at best and intended to do exactly as he claims - to paint him in a negative light.

         The danger of group think, it is pervasive in the main stream media.  They should get out more and speak to average Americans...

      I've decided to limit my participation here at HubPages because of disgusting right wing Alex Jones, Russian TV, Breitbart type discussion topica like these and it's despicable discussion titles like these that will lead to the ultimate demise of HubPages:

      It is about time some of these elite reporters get some push back.
      I remember years ago, 60 minutes did these video ambush of individuals of some controversial topics  which made the, look very bad. Later on, some other channel did the same to Dan Rather... what goes around come around.

               I know how he plays win/losers games, not a win/ win situation. In the end we all lost.

   The left never seems to get it that the Leslie Stahl's are the problem and not the indicators of the problems OR they do get it and are happy that the bias of media is on their side ?
   
   I know how I'll vote on that .

      I think it is the former. Any intelligent people would know their shortcomings and ask themselves what is the problem. These media types are cluless and live in a bubble of NY and DC and Hollywood.

         My point is that the left sucks this media bias up as if it were from a bong !   As intelligent people you and I know that a media of one ideology isn't a good thing at all ,  A balanced media is required or we ALL suffer for that .
