60 Minutes, like everyone besides Phil Donahue, gave the Bush Regime a pass for their war crimes and lies. Those evildoers claimed they had to kill and destroy Iraqis and Iraq because they had WMDs. However, those same evildoers and terrorists could not tell the UN Weapons inspectors a single place in the entire country where WMDs were. The UN Inspectors went to hundreds of sites that the Bush Regime claimed had WMDs and found nothing. And rather than see if they could find a single site before attacking, the Bush Regime told the UN Weapons inspectors to get out and then attacked. And yet these allegedly leftist 60 Minutes people gave the Bush Regime war criminals a pass on all of that. So as it turns out, 60 Minutes has more in common with FoxNews than Lenin, despite any braying by the FoxNews crowd.

Couldn’t agree more, my friend. Few people take the networks seriously when it comes to the news.

If 60 Minutes was any further to the Left on all topic, Lenin would be the clock face. There is nothing balanced by 60 Minutes. It was garbage when it Ed Murrow puffed his way through the nonsense of Hunger in America. They tore Nixon, Reagan, both Bushes new orifices for very minor flubs. Scooter Libby is in jail for nothing, yet Obama get a pass on leaking. They did not cover the Protest by Catholics over Obama pay my birth control bill. 60 Minutes not not investigate it trashing anyone who does not agree with their Far left notions as Truth.
