Opinion: Why is ‘60 Minutes’ amplifying the views of Marjorie Taylor Greene? | CNN

[ByteBeetle]

I'm so against the whole thing ... but at the same time, I think CBS is totally right . Like, I mean, if they're gonna do an interview, they should really go all in on it . Why hold back? It's not like Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to change her mind after one TV show .

And honestly, who does she even think she's talking to? The American people? Or just a select group of radical right-wing folks . I guess what really gets my goat is that some people are making a big deal about it... like, get over it . It's just TV, folks! What's the harm in hearing her out?

But wait, I'm so against CBS now . I mean, what about all those other times they've had extremist guests on their show? Shouldn't they be doing something more to prevent that kind of content from being aired? .

Ugh, my mind is all over the place . Can we just agree that Marjorie Taylor Greene is a problem and move on?

omg u guys 60 minns just became the problem lol its crazy that cbs is actually amplifying mtg's radical views on their show instead of calling her out for the hate speech she spews like what even is going on with this? cbs has featured extremist guests before but mtg takes it to a whole new level her rise in GOP is super concerning and i dont think 60 minns should be giving her a platform david hogg was right to call them out for not asking her about school shootings and qanon lets see if they can redeem themselves or not

Ugh I was so disappointed when I saw that 60 Minutes featured Marjorie Taylor Greene on their show. Like, what were they thinking?! She's got some seriously extreme views and to amplify them on national TV is just crazy. And don't even get me started on the part where they didn't mention all the conspiracy theories she's peddled online... that's just basic journalism 101!

I mean, I know Greene has been gaining traction in the GOP, but that doesn't mean we should be giving her a platform to spew hate speech and anti-Semitic rhetoric. It's like CBS is saying "oh, you're extreme, so let's feature you on our show!" No thanks! They need to get back to basics and start promoting unity and understanding instead of amplifying divisive voices.

I'm also thinking about the other times they've featured guests with extremist views... wasn't it Timothy McVeigh like, 25 years ago? And Ayatollah Khomeini in '79? What were they thinking then?! It's not like we're learning from history or anything. We need to hold them accountable for their choices and demand better journalism!

I'm really surprised that 60 Minutes featured Marjorie Taylor Greene on the show. I mean, she's got some pretty wild views, right? Like calling Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg "littleHitler" - that's not okay. And what's with amplifying her conspiracy theories and hate speech? It just seems like they're giving a platform to someone who doesn't deserve it.

I'm also thinking about all the other times CBS has featured guests with extremist views, like Timothy McVeigh or Ayatollah Khomeini. But this time it feels different. Greene is now a prominent figure in the GOP, and her views are just so... extreme. I think what's really sad here is that she's getting more attention because of it.

I'm all for asking tough questions and sparking debate, but this felt like more like giving a shoutout to someone who's spreading hate and division. It just doesn't feel right. I hope CBS takes some time to think about how they're using their platform, 'cause it feels like they're getting it all wrong

I think "60 Minutes" needs a big reset . They're essentially giving airtime to people who spread hate and misinformation, and it's just not cool . I mean, come on, they interviewed Timothy McVeigh in 2000 and Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, but Marjorie Taylor Greene is on a whole different level . Her comments about David Hogg are straight up disgusting . CBS needs to think about what kind of message they're sending out to their audience . Are they promoting unity and understanding or just giving a platform for radical views? It's time for them to reevaluate who they feature on the show and make sure it's not harming anyone .
