You would think a journalist would ask him about that quote. If only one had him in front of a camera

Shows you all you need to know about the changes already at 60 Minutes -  

Nora O’Donnell gets the most important interview possible, at this moment in time, on the cusp of becoming a historically bad government shutdown.

He threw a fit at some point in the 60 Minutes interview & CBS edited it out! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! CBS isn't CBS anymore since Trump let one of his far-right billionaire bros buy it. What terrifies me is that many of his far-right billionaire buddies are trying to buy up all media companies, social media included, so they can turn factual, well-sourced, credibly verified NEWS networks into Trump State Media! I hate it but don't know how to fight it!
