CBS is where the good times are this fall.
New “60 Minutes” correspondent Ross Douthat, an outspoken conservative, interviewed Donald Trump on the show last night for two segments.
Douthat’s results were mixed, as you can see below. He let Trump filibuster endlessly and evade most questions.
He did find out that Trump thinks — naively — he’ll go not to hell.
Trump made a couple of mild concessions. One was that his immigration policy had gone too far, but not because it separated families or destroyed innocent people’s lives. It’s because wealthy people are angry their workers are gone. But Douthat didn’t actually ask about that part of it.
CBS News went light on Trump in the end, and let him get away with a number of lies. A lot of them were about his profiting off the White House. There was no discussion of wreckage of Washington, DC but they did discuss UFOs, which was utterly ridiculous.
Douthat gets a C for his efforts. CBS gets a D. Trump gets an A for once again managing to say nothing.
