She's missing the point. The irrational lying is precisely why MTG should not be interviewed unless you are willing to challenge her. You can't apply the old 60 Minutes techniques to this kind of irrationality. The follow up was crystal clear. Stahl should have insisted that MTG show exact evidence of her claims and just wait for a real response. Not the spin. Not the BS answers that MTG already cooked up. Leslie Stahl missed the moment. She just rolled her eyes and moved on. Instead she should have nailed her.

One might expect the media to stop treating Republicans like normal politicians after their "big lie" about a stolen election, their ongoing whitewashing of the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol, their attacks on the FBI and their indifference - if not assent - to racism. Alas, there is little sign that mainstream outlets have dropped their addiction to false equivalence and willful, moral blindness…. These and countless other interviews illustrate the urgent need to reimagine coverage of the GOP. Refusing to confront and expose MAGA Republicans' betrayal of democratic values doesn't make members of the media "balanced." It makes them enablers.

Another way to describe the "BothSiderism cancer" is through the concept of false equivalency. Having a mature, intelligent conservative (yes there are some) to represent the other side of liberalism is true equivalency. The rantings of a school yard "mean girl" does not deserve to be showcased or given credibility. The likely reason 60 Minutes behaved so irresponsibly as to air this drivel was to boost the program's viewership--just another journalistic sell out.

You had a chance to push back on her outrageous lies. You did not.

This was Leslie Stahl’s “what kind of tree would you be” moment. The diminishment of her career. Greene’s views aren’t strange they’re despicable.

No, Leslie Stahl didn't go far enough. Greene rolled right over her. She needed to look the devil in the face and denounce her. If she believes Greene is so powerful, Stahl needed to expose her on national tv instead of molly coddling Greene.

And therein lies the problem: the formulaic profile. MGT is not a normal elected official, and yes, to treat her as such "normalizes" the aberrant. By relying on old-style journalistic practices -- which predate the current political climate in which false narrative trumps facts -- mainstream media are allowing misinformation to poison public discourse. Stahl talks about why it's important for us to know what leaders think. True enough, but the more their thoughts stray from reality, the harder the reporter must work to challenge them. Stahl didn't do that. She treated Greene like a normal politician. "60 Minutes," like the rote Sunday morning news shows, have not kept up with the times.

I was super young and found The voices very comforting to fall asleep to in the middle of the family room floor. Ahh! Those were great days indeed. Thank You LS for u all do and have done for Journalism and The US and us. You're The Goods!

As a Great great GREAT Grandmother, let me the FRIST person to join your new organization! Thank you Lesley! 🇺🇸💯

Sixty minutes today is a shadow of it's former self. Stuck in a model that just doesn't connect with the world as it is. Full of itself as it fades away. Oblivious to the greater world of 8 billion precious humans. Disconnected from our current times

People saw us walking and made up their minds before the interview that it was friendly, WTF? Give me a break Stahl, it was a chicken-hearted fluff piece! Eye rolling is not push-back, calling her out on her lies and fact checking is your damn job, do it or retire!

Well said. Time for Stahl to go. I hope she's reading these comments

This whole interview is so disturbing. Leslie Stahl starts off by saying she does not like being interviewed and she would rather interview him. She sets the whole tone by basically saying she is not going to enjoy this. She also comes off as full of herself because she can not admit how much she failed the MTG interview. She let the American people down by not pressing MTG and instead allowed her to have a platform for her lies. Stahl’s attitude is smug during this interview. She often asks to change the subject and smile. Underneath her behavior is a very uncomfortable person, knowing she failed.

She's awful and you helped her look reasonable and it sucks. Love, An Independent Voter

60 minutes lost me, with Dan. 😢

Thank you for that compliment. I’ve been watching 60 mins with my father every Sunday night. Am now 62 years old. Still watch 60 mins love this show. God Bless you all

If liars keep lying without being fact checked and not allowed to gaslight, then the liars should not be interviewed.

As a born and raised New Yorker, to see these two born and raised northeasterner senior members of the NY based media have these "eagle has landed" moments over Nixon, MTG, Trump, Thatcher and Reagan is amazing. Before the dominance of media in the 20th Century, people were "messaged" by their priest, rabbi, minister, teachers, parents and community. In other words our values were personal or based within our local groups. Not a values system being imposed on us by a media that creates news as a product; or by two political partys and all of the spinoff organizations that have bifurcated the country into basically two opposing systems of thought and values.

Y'all need to get a life. MGT is not afraid to call out corrupt & unfair politicians that hides current administrations agenda!! We need more like her in Congress!!

THERE IS NOTHING WORSE ENDING YOUR CAREER BEING KNOWN AS A LIAR ...IM ASHAMED OF YOU LESLEY ..

Jeff Greenfield is a gift to our republic. Thank you, Jeff. PS: please return to PBS Newshour Weekend. We miss you.

The fact that Lesley Stahl still believes she did a good job of interviewing MTG tells me she didn’t, and maybe doesn’t learn. Note,she didn’t answer Jeff Greenfield’s key question about “normalizing”MTG. By avoiding that question she avoids a HUGE issue, and becomes part of the “nice people on both sides” crowd. I also believe Jeff better understood the point on “bad press is still press” (repeated by her furor Tr$&mp many years ago) The “audience of one” was a secondary, not the key benefit. Ms Stahl has much to learn from Jeff Greenfield. He perfectly modeled the tact & savvy he spoke of in challenging with powerful questions, examples and facts. I hope she listened & learned. Proving Stahl May be a long-term face of media but not the brains. No Jeff Greenfield or Barbara Walters! On “pandering” many may only want to hear what they want to hear, but many of us still want facts & true journalism, without normalizing that which harms people, and populations.

Exactly ! "Nice people on both sides"!! (whew) We (our country) is not in the middle of a debate. We are in the process of a domestic terrorist attack. There is a tremendous lack of training and skill in our journalists. I so agree with Karen McMillan.

CMON PEOPLE Leslie stahl is 82 !!!! Is ANYONE telling her that she has TIME TO KISS & hug HER GREAT GRAND BABIES !

I absolutely loved this program! (80 year old male democrat) great job😊👍❤️

I must say, after watching this video, I have lost a great deal of respect for Lesley Stahl. She spends the entire interview defending herself rather than trying to take on board any legitimate criticism of her 60 minute interview. She can’t seem to process it or take any responsibility for something she might have done wrong.

That interview was a disaster,it should have been given to someone more aggressive to call MTG out on her BS lies.

I do my best to find multiple sources in order to verify what I hear or read. Whenever possible I use court documents, transcripts, audio and history. As long as I do that I can make an educated decision on what I expect the interviewer to listen to and what I believe they should have forcefully pushed back on. If they don’t push back on things that have been debunked multiple times then I take issue with the interviewer and will be much more skeptical in listening or trusting what they say or who they choose to bring on. There are things where there are not two sides. Actual facts must be established and interviewers can’t allow those facts to be replaced with nonsense, conspiracy theories and lies. To allow this serves no one and can (and often does) perpetuate the lies. There are things that are provable. There must be a line or these people receive a level of undeserved credibility just by being interviewed by someone credible and respected.

Has Leslie thought of asking her for evidence for court if she is sued for slander?

Had she been humble enough to admit that she accepts that she lost a lot of credibility for not actually calling MTG for her most outrageous lies (instead of an eye-roll) and apologized for this, I might respect her. I understand why she tried to show no biased favoritism for one political party over another during an interview. But, to not call out MTG's blatant lies by asking for proven facts, is unforgivable. I will never respect her again. Is it truly going to take another Civil War to put an end to such chronic divisiveness, ignorance, conspiracy theories, and toxic hatred for 'the other'?

Thanks you❤

On the subject of watching only in your silo, when I found myself "wound up" by a channel very consistently, I changed my station. Found network news a little better, just facts were better on PBS and NPR. I really became mote aware of someone "winding me up" to be a feeling between my shoulders.

I'm worried, too. I have been for a few years. Our country seems to be moving towards fascism...WAY to the right. It's frightening.

You haven't noticed the border, the jabz or the Transgender BS?

I wished Jeff Greenfield didn’t insistently hover over Lesley and let Lesley speak for herself.

Brian Tyler Cohen would have been unrelenting on MTG. Wish he had done the interview.

I too agree with the rest of the comments. I have liked, watched and respected Lesley over the years, but she truly dropped the ball by not holding Green accountable for her comments. Lesley don’t defend yourself on this one. Acknowledge your lack of judgment, isn’t that how we learn to improve, even as we get older. I am former journalist and disappointed in Lesley and 60 minutes. It’s not that people shouldn’t know about MTG, it’s that you should have done a better job at pinning her down on her crazy thoughts and comments.

These are two people I greatly respect. It was a bit of a challenge for me to overcome my preset admiration and try to apply a critical eye and ear to the points they were stating.

Stahl rolled over with Marge which gave Marge a very underserving leg up

This is so meta. I like Lesley Stahl and remember the piece she did way back in 1984 about the audience response to the Reagan interview. I thought and think it was powerful. All of the things they talk about people not wanting to listen to views they do not agree with completely matches the way she responded to MTG interview criticism. Really amazing.

I've always loved Leslie but have to admit that her inview with that bleached mouthpiece was softball league.

Not sure how this could be effectively accomplished, but think about jury selection and/or prep. Think about what the jurors or prospective jurors know about a pending case. Emphasize that what the jurors ultimately decide HAS TO be based solely on what they hear in court. Now apply that here. Ask people who have no idea who Marjorie Taylor Greene is what they think of her based SOLELY on what was represented by the Stahl interview. They'd undoubtedly have no clue whatsoever who Greene is as a person, or what she represents. Their opinions about Greene would absolutely be more positive than ANY rational opinions about Greene ought to be. That means this interview was a complete failure. It's that simple.
