Ever since then, they've been on a more or less continuous slide towards mediocrity, and their audience has shrunk and skewed more and more towards the retirement home demographic, as the residents tune in for the latest expose on anyone opposed to official government narratives or corporate culture.

Coming up next week on 60 Minutes: Revealed! The horrible things which MTG has said about the latest woke orthodoxy! (Oops - I think they already ran that segment a year or so ago!)

BTW, vacuous, do YOU live in a retirement home? ;-)

Too many (otherwise) reliable witness have attested to significant symptoms for the problem to be dismissed on account of no brain damage based on CAT scans, MRIs, etc. .

Maybe the symptoms are psychosomatic but there are just too many victims for that to be entirely plausible. Science just isn't all the way in many areas.

Do we remember when one-number THD was considered the be-all & end-all of amplifier sound evaluation?

Is that you in the photo Comrade Chris? Yes, you do appear to be rather incontinent, if not with actual diapers, surely with your speech.

  You know I've never worn Depends in my life, nor do I have a stash of Depends pictures (like you evidently do!). The only way to account for the picture in your post is to conclude that it must be one of your friends at the retirement home where you live - where the big event of the week is to gather round the communal TV set for the weekly broadcast of 60 Minutes - God's unvarnished truth! ;-)
  - You made an ad hominem comment, and I replied in kind. This conversation is over. n/t - vacuous 09:44:52 04/02/24 (1)

    - I asked a simple question, which you construed into an ad hominem comment - Chris from Lafayette 14:09:44 04/02/24 (0)
      One thing I don't like is a bum rap, but if you want to keep generating them, that's on you.
      
      BTW, I notice in fact that you never did answer my question as to whether you live in a retirement home (with your stash of pictures of old men in Depends). That's OK with me - whatever floats your boat! ;-)

Back in the day if your receptionist says Mike Wallace is in the lobby, you head out the back door and hope camera crews aren't in the parking lot!
It's just not a real news show. - ghost of olddude55 15:41:18 04/01/24 (0)
It's infotainment. Some information but the primary role of 60 Minutes is to entertain.

The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
