Giving Marjorie Taylor Greene a platform isn't good for America

Marjorie Taylor Greene's Rise to Prominence is a Poisonous Pill for America

Last year, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia sparked outrage when she spoke at a white nationalist event organized by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. The event drew condemnation from Republican leaders, who distanced themselves from her extreme views.

Fast forward to last week, when Greene's Twitter account was temporarily suspended over a tweet with a graphic referencing "Trans Day of Vengeance." She has also announced plans to protest in New York City when former President Donald Trump is arraigned on an indictment, calling the proceedings against him an "unconstitutional WITCH HUNT!"

But what's even more troubling is Greene's recent appearance on CBS' 60 Minutes. In the interview, host Lesley Stahl highlighted Greene's sharp tongue and radical views, which have drawn widespread criticism from politicians and activists alike.

However, when asked about her past comments, including those that downplay school shootings as "fake" and support QAnon conspiracy theories, Stahl surprisingly failed to press Greene on these issues. This omission has sparked widespread outrage, with many accusing CBS of whitewashing Greene's extreme views.

Critics argue that the interview was a calculated move by CBS to give Greene a platform without critically examining her hate speech and anti-Muslim rhetoric. Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger called it "insane" that 60 Minutes would feature Greene, while journalist Molly Jong-Fast slammed the show for wasting its "currency" on Greene's conspiracy theories.

The real question is whether CBS' decision to give Greene a platform is good for America or not. It's clear that Greene's views are deeply poisonous and have no place in mainstream politics. By giving her a platform, CBS may be inadvertently emboldening white nationalists and extremist groups, which could have disastrous consequences for the country.

As 60 Minutes itself has shown over its 50-plus-year history, featuring "controversial" guests like Timothy McVeigh and Ayatollah Khomeini, it's hard to argue that Greene is anything but a modern-day provocateur. And when CBS CEO Les Moonves once admitted that Trump's candidacy was "damn good for CBS," but also acknowledged that it might not be "good for America," it's clear where the true priorities lie.

It's time for CBS to take a long, hard look at its values and decide whether giving Marjorie Taylor Greene a platform is really worth it. The answer, quite frankly, is no.
 
omg i cant believe they let her on 60 minutes without asking her about those crazy qanon conspiracy theories lol what were they thinking? πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ“° CBS should've totally fact checked her and called her out for the hate speech she spews πŸ’”πŸ‘Ž it's not like we dont already know she's a white nationalist wannabe πŸ™„πŸ‘Š
 
I don't think cbs should be giving marjorie taylor greene so much airtime πŸ˜’ the woman's views are straight up toxic. like, i get that they're trying to give her a platform and all, but at what cost? giving someone a megaphone doesn't necessarily make their words more palatable or acceptable. it just makes them louder. πŸ—£οΈ and honestly, if cbs is worried about being seen as "whitewashing" greene's views, they should be talking to her about how she can actually do some good for america instead of just stirring up drama and hate. πŸ€”
 
OMG u guys I'm so done with marjorie taylor greene 😩 she's literally spreading hate and poison on social media like nobody's watching πŸ€₯ and now CBS is giving her a platform on 60 mins πŸ“Ί?!?!?!?! it's like they're trying to give her oxygen πŸ’¨ or something! I mean what's next? featureing alex jones on the news πŸ“°?!?!?!?! and don't even get me started on lesley stahl πŸ˜’ she's gotta be hella outta touch not questioning marjorie taylor greene about her actual views πŸ€” like, hello lady Greene has said some pretty outrageous stuff about school shootings being fake 🚫 and qanon conspiracy theories 🧐 are we really gonna just ignore all that and pretend it never happened?!?!?!?! I'm so tired of people saying "oh she's just speaking her mind" πŸ™„ newsflash: hate speech is NOT free speech 😑 and by giving marjorie taylor greene a platform, CBS might be inadvertently fueling white nationalism and extremism πŸš«πŸ‘€ it's time for them to take responsibility for what they're putting out into the world πŸ’ͺ

I'm torn about this... πŸ€” I think giving Greene a platform might actually help her come out of her shell and confront the backlash she's been getting, but at the same time, it could be seen as condoning her hate speech and extremist views which is super concerning πŸ€•. On one hand, free speech is important, but on the other hand, isn't it our responsibility to call out people who are spreading hate and intolerance? 😩 I don't know, maybe CBS was just trying to expose her views to a wider audience and spark some real conversations? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ But then again, couldn't they have done that without featuring her on national TV? πŸ“Ί Ugh, my brain is all confused now...
 
I don't think this is a good idea... πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ I mean, think about it. If CBS gives Marjorie Taylor Greene a platform, they're basically saying that her toxic views are okay to be heard, and that's not what we need in America right now. It's like they're trying to normalize extremism, and that's exactly what we should be working against. I'm all for free speech and critical discussions, but when it comes to hate speech and conspiracy theories, you have to take a stand. We can't just sit back and let people like Greene spread their poison without calling them out. The government needs to step in here and set some boundaries. It's time for some real accountability from the media too... πŸ‘Š
 
I'm low-key shocked that 60 Minutes didn't grill Greene about her actual extreme views πŸ€”πŸ’Έ I mean, come on, downplaying school shootings as "fake" and spouting QAnon conspiracy theories? That's some wild stuff, dude! 😲 And Lesley Stahl just let it slide...not cool, CBS πŸš«πŸ‘Ž They gotta do better than that, you feel? πŸ‘Š It's not like Greene is some harmless extremist; she's actively promoting hate and intolerance. We need more critical questioning, not PR fluff pieces πŸ“°πŸ˜’
 
I'm low-key super worried about this Marjorie Taylor Greene girl πŸ€• she's like a toxic virus spreading hate and misinformation everywhere. I mean, who gets suspended from Twitter for tweetin' somethin' that's basically tellin' people to hunt down trans folks? It's wild. And now CBS is lettin' her spew her toxic tea on national TV without even askin' hard questions πŸ€” it's like they're tryin' to normalize her hate speech or somethin'. I get that we gotta listen to both sides, but when one side is spreadin' venom and the other ain't callin 'em out, that's a problem. We need more accountability and less whitewashin' of hate groups πŸ‘Ž 60 Minutes should be askin' tough questions, not givin' Greene a free pass πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
🀯 I think cbs shouldve done more fact checking on marjorie taylor greene before givin her the spotlight πŸ“°...all that hate speech and conspiracy theory stuff gotta be called out, you feel me? πŸ€” its like, if u wanna give someone a platform, make sure theyre not poisonin the well for america 🌎
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around why 60 Minutes gave Marjorie Taylor Greene a platform πŸ€”. I mean, we all know she's got some pretty extreme views, but at what cost? πŸ€‘ Giving her a stage just might embolden white nationalists and extremist groups, which is bad news for America 🚨. I don't think CBS was thinking about the bigger picture here; they were too busy trying to make headlines 😬. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we'll give you airtime if you promise us some drama!" Not cool, 60 Minutes! πŸ˜’
 
omg i'm so worried about this πŸ€• marjorie taylor greene is literally spreading hate & misinformation everywhere she goes. like seriously how can cbs just give her a platform without even questioning her views? πŸ™„ it feels like they're just trying to get more clicks or ratings instead of actually promoting critical thinking & respect for all humans.

and u know what's even crazier? people who say that cbs is giving greene a platform without critically examining her views. like come on, it's not that hard to fact-check & research someone's background & views before inviting them on the show πŸ€“. it feels like everyone's just letting their emotions get the best of them instead of trying to have a rational conversation.

anyway, i think this whole thing is really problematic 🚨 and it highlights how polarized our society is right now. like, we need more nuance & critical thinking in politics & media 🀯.
 
I think its crazy that they let her on 60 minutes without asking about the real issues like she said school shootings are fake lol what even is that I mean we all know how messed up those things are but come on Marjorie Greene makes it sound like hes a conspiracy theorist or something its not cool CBS needs to be more careful with who they let on their show πŸ€”πŸ˜’
 
omg did u guys know that i just tried the new matcha latte from starbucks and it's literally LIFE.CHANGING πŸŒ±πŸ‘€ i mean i'm not even kidding i was skeptical at first but now i'm hooked like what's your fave drink order btw anyway back to marjorie taylor greene lol who even knows what she's talking about btw
 
idk why cbs is still featuring ppl like mtg... i mean, she's literally got more haters than a kindergarten playground 🀣. seriously tho, her views are straight up toxic & gotta be called out for what they are. can't just give her a platform 'cause she's a rep and expect everyone to just nod along πŸ™„. news outlets should be holding ppl in power accountable for their words & actions, not whitewashing it like cbs did on 60 minutes πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ. btw, who thought it was a good idea to give mtg a platform in the first place? πŸ€‘
 
omg i cant believe cbs just gave marjorie taylor greene a platform again 🀯 like seriously whats next? theyre basically giving airtime to white nationalists and extremists who are trying to spread hate and toxic ideologies 🚫 its not like she doesnt have a history of spewing conspiracy theories and making hateful comments about muslims and trans people πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

i remember when trump was on 60 minutes and moonves was like "damn good for CBS" but now im calling bs lol πŸ™„ whats the real priority here? giving marjorie taylor greene a platform or doing what's actually good for america?

cbs needs to get its act together and stop whitewashing hate speech and extremist views πŸ€” we cant just sit back and let these toxic individuals spread their poisonous ideologies without consequence 🚨
 
I gotta say, I'm so over Marge "The Moo Cow" Greene πŸ˜’. She's just like a poison pill for America - toxic to the core. First off, she was all about that white nationalist life with Nick Fuentes 🀒 and now she thinks it's okay to be all trans-hating on Twitter? Give me a break! πŸ™„ And let's not forget her "Trans Day of Vengeance" tweet... that's just straight-up hate πŸ’”.

But what really gets my goat is how CBS basically whitewashed her whole radical history πŸ€₯. Lesley Stahl didn't even touch on all the crazy stuff she's said in the past, like downplaying school shootings as "fake"... I mean, come on! 😱 How can you just gloss over that? It's like they're trying to make her look like some kind of centrist or something πŸ€ͺ.

Giving Greene a platform is just gonna embolden all those white nationalists and conspiracy theorists... it's a recipe for disaster πŸ”₯. And let's be real, if CBS is gonna give her airtime, they should at least try to fact-check her claims πŸ“Š. It's time for them to take a long, hard look at their values and decide if they're really about promoting free speech or just being clickbait gold πŸ’Έ.

Anyway, I'm calling BS on 60 Minutes' whole thing πŸ‘Ž. If you want real journalism, there are plenty of other outlets that'll give it to you straight πŸ”Š.
 
OMG u guys I just watched that 60 Minutes interview with Marjorie Taylor Greene & I'm like SHOOK 😱 She's literally spewing hate speech & conspiracy theories left & right and CBS just sits there taking it πŸ˜’ Lesley Stahl should've asked her about those school shooting comments she made last year 🀯 Like what is going on here? Are they trying to legitimize her views or something? πŸ™„ I mean I get that 60 Minutes wants to feature "controversial" guests but come on CBS, this girl is toxic πŸ’‰

omg 😩 i feel so bad for everyone who got hurt by marjorie taylor greene's toxic comments πŸ€• her hate speech is literally poisonous πŸ’‰ and it's insane that cbs didn't press her on those issues harder πŸ€” like what were they thinking? didn't they see how much damage she was doing to people's lives? 😭 anyway, i think it's clear that giving greene a platform is not good for america πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ at all. it's like, cbs needs to take responsibility for the currency they're wasting on these crazy conspiracy theories πŸ’Έ and instead focus on spreading love and positivity πŸŒˆπŸ’•
