60 Minutes is still capable of putting out real good work when it's not pandering for ratings with bullshit like features on irrelevant celebs like Steven Tyler and treating Lara Logan with kid gloves.

Myron hasn't been on consistently for quite some time, but you knew that, right?

A long overdue flush for a fucked up turd. Good riddance.

Outing Gen. Westmoreland as your partner?

Nope. Just outing a Grade A scumbag. Hopefully, he's burning nicely right about now.

Can I get the cliff notes on this?

trev, in a nationally televised roundtable discussion Mike Wallace said it's more important to be a proper journalist than a decent human being or a decent American, even if it means letting American soldiers be killed so as not to jeopardize a story he's covering. Along the way, he cowed a young Peter Jennings into changing his mind and saying the same thing.

The military types who were on that same panel looked on in utter disgust.

And of course he was a vigorous supporter of the utterly criminal fake state posing as a democracy in the Middle East...yeah, roast...just roast :wink:

You forgot to mention that part of the scenario was that Wallace/Jennings would have faced certain death for warning the American troops. Feel what you want, but that is kind of important.

B Smack, she asked for the Cliffs Note version, and in Wallace's rebuke to Jennings he made no mention of that. He merely talked about his responsibility as a journalist.

The Canadian said he'd have warned the Americns aboot the ambush even if it meant certain death. The Shitbag, Myron, said he wouldn't consider warning anybody even if it would be totally safe to do so.

No surprise you're one of Myron's biggst fans, B-Monica

one of the Generals reply to him was priceless.
