CN
79 year old award-winning veteran journalist and writer Leslie Stahl is a "lying communist shill"?? Who knew?

Do share your sources for this remarkable bit of info. Curious minds want to know.

True. All I’m saying is that she has to deal with the consequences of her actions and not complain about the fall out.

Consequences of what actions...you think she is 'hurt' by Trump's rants....

i don't think so.

So Trump's base loves when he acts like a middle school kid. But fence sitters independents aren't paying much attention to this stuff.

From what I understand he didn't 'walk out' he just refused to finish the portion of the interview with Pence.....That's too bad. It would have been good for Trump/Pence to seemingly be shown as an actual team -- not as two separate entities passing in the night.

He did the right thing. All Lessie wanted to do was gotchya questions. She is an unpleasant female, typical of most haters in the MSM.

Please what do those awards mean? Obama won a Nobel Peace prize for breathing.

Veteran journalists can't have agendas? Well call be a doubting Thomas, because it seems to me, that every network out there is reporting agenda over substance or facts.

Journalists never lie? Especially veteran Journalists? Whoa, then what happened to Dan Rather that ended up getting him fired? True, if it happened today he would get an award for it.

I used to watch 60 minutes every Sunday. That was back when the team was somewhat reliable and had some integrity. I stopped watching in the Mid 2000's.

Sure, as long as Trump also deals with the consequences of his actions and doesn't complain about the fallout.

Not taking any bets.

But both Obama and Dan Rather are irrelevant to this discussion.

Squirrel!

Nice try...

Leslie Stalh is doing exactly what the Founders intended a free press to do.

"To prohibit, therefore, the intent to excite those unfavorable sentiments against those who administer the Government, is equivalent to a prohibition of the actual excitement of them; and to prohibit the actual excitement of them is equivalent to a prohibition of discussions having that tendency and effect; which, again, is equivalent to a protection of those who administer the Government..." James Madison January 1800, Report on the Virginia Resolutions

Agree. I'm not a woman but I am a senior. Leslie Stahl has been pretty nasty for years - I'm not sure why "journalists" think they have to be on the attack all the time.

Then what exactly is the big deal? Why is anyone making anything out of this? My point being is just because she’s 79 doesn’t mean she should be cut any slack. If she wants to keep working as a journalist
then she has to deal with whatever comes her way. If she is ok with taking the heat so be it. But to use her age as some kind of crutch is wrong. Her age is irrelevant and should not factor in to anything.
