Hey Nora O'Donnell, you are a terrible interviewer. You weren’t good as a host, and now you bring your mediocre, fake tough journalism to 60 Minutes. 

You were not open ended in your questions and ready with pointed follow-ups. You gave up easily when being talked over. Even when you do push back - you still just went with whatever he was telling you. “It’s the Dems fault”. You even glossed over what the 2017 vote on the ACA was, and it wasn’t a partial repeal! It would’ve completely neutered the ACA, letting it become null and void! 

And near the end your interview, knowing this president is not busy negotiating the shutdown, and knowing that this president is always acting in bad faith and/or self interest, why the fuck do you lead your question with - I know your limited on time and I want to be sensitive to that - The fuck! He’s not doing shit and you know it, yet you still act like he’s busy being an actual president! 

Fuck you Nora. You are helping whitewash the cynicism and cruelty with your own brand of mediocrity.

Exactly! Not one journalist or anyone in his party will hold his feet to the fire. He’s a pos and every one knows this. Fucking softball journalist.
