As I watched the childish interview Leslie Stahl conducted
with Donald Trump and Mike Pence on 60 Minutes, July 17, 2016, it revealed to me, again, the pettiness of the mainstream media.
Our country and the world is in crisis and this woman was asking
questions about personal compatibility and trying to see where they differ on
inconsequential issues.
Here are 5 questions she should have asked them:
1. The U.S.
is fast approaching $20 trillion in debt. What specific legislation would you
propose to both stop it from increasing and to balance the budget?
2. The U.S. has
experienced a pathetic growth rate of 2% or lower during the eight years that
Obama has been in office. What specific legislation which you would propose
that would start our economy growing again at a rate of at least 4% or higher?
3. Obamacare and other businesses stifling legislation have put
a damper on quality full time jobs in nearly all sectors of the economy, except
the federal government. What legislation would you propose to stimulate the
creation of quality full time jobs in the private sector?
4. And, with the Feds holding interest rate
artificially low in order to stimulate the economy, it has profoundly affected
those retirees whose return on their savings are important. What legislation would
you propose to change the situation?
5. Now let’s consider some international issues, for the world
to have order, questions such as choosing whether to use water boarding is just
childish as well would you put “boots on the ground.” The question should have
been, what legislation would you propose and what executive authority would you
use to make sure that this nation remains the strongest military power on earth
and stop using the military for social experimentation?
People like Leslie Stahl are paid a handsome six-figure or
maybe even a seven-figure salary to conduct interviews like this and to report
or comment honestly on the news. She is typically one of those who are paid
well, but who are biased and dishonest, and not worthy of the public’s
attention.
