Joe Biden's 60 Minute Interview on Gaza Is the Saddest Media Display I Have Ever Witnessed

[ConservativeTreehouse] Good grief, if the stakes of this issue were not so high, I probably would not have watched this. Alas, a review was necessary to judge the competency of policy. What follows is beyond sad.

I know many readers here will not like the thought of watching pudding brain mutter his way through a carefully edited and controlled interview by a corporate outlet intent on presenting Biden in the best possible light. However,
ars longa, vita brevis...
you only really need to watch the introduction by CBS host, Scott Pelley.

Never before have I seen a more transparently pathetic political defense presented as the introduction to an interview of a U.S. president. Pelley was apologetic toward Biden in the extreme, leading the viewer into an interview with prescripted justification and excuses for the content that would follow. Watching Pelley set up this interview elicits a sense of embarrassment that such a set-up is needed. When he gets into the interview, Pelley actually constructs the talking points for Biden, with explanations and outlines that provide simple yes/no answers from Biden. This interview is so soft, it becomes pathetic to watch:

#3 I still remember Scott Pelley saying that Christopher Steele was a reliable source. Well, that's CBS for you. Too bad none of the other mainstream media outlets are any better.

#5 When I saw the ads for this interview, my first thought was that the film editors would really earn their pay on this one.

#6 Likely they dosed him with whatever is given him at Delaware. If the raw footage was leaked, he would be done.

Paralyzed Congress? If you mean whatever Team Brandon wants.
