I didn't watch, because that would've required listening to his voice, but I read the transcript, and I counted a lot more than 18 lies. (With zero pushback, I might add. Shame on @cbsnews.com and @60minutes.bsky.social )

Also, as usual, he was rude, interrupted constantly, and talked over her.

Paramount Global, CBS, and 60 Minutes literally sold their credibility and their integrity for CEO bonuses and shareholder value. Trump rubbed their noses in their own shit last night and they sat there and took it, because the Press has been a collaborator with Trump from the beginning.

Trump on Prince Andrew and the Epstein scandal: "I feel very badly. I mean, it's a terrible thing that's happened to the family. That's been a tragic situation. And it's too bad. I feel badly for the family."

The 60 Minutes interview, in which Nora O’Donnell let Trump blather on with lie after lie without fact-checking him or pushing back, is a reminder of why we need journalists who will hold him accountable rather than just giving him a platform to spread lies.

I skimmed the 60 Mins transcript. They edited out some of the crazier shit he said, and his glee about Bari Weiss and CBS’s “new ownership.” But Norah O’Donnell also just let him ramble and deflect and say crazy lies uninterrupted. In other democracies, interviewers don’t tolerate that.

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money”

In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview.

Nigeria also has the largest proven oil reserves in Africa, which could be a factor.
