Bari Weiss’s 60 Minutes edited its latest interview with Donald Trump to make the octogenarian’s responses appear much more sane than they actually were.

During one exchange between Trump and host Ross Douthat on the topic of Ukraine, the staff at 60 Minutes decided to trim several sections of Trump’s response that included false claims or total fabrications.

      the part where he was asked about personally making $3B since re-elected and Trump responds, “didn’t we all?”.

      That interviewer is a conservative nutjob. Read anything he’s written for the New York Times. We’re just so used to seeing Fox and CNN-level interviewing that it felt like a revelation.

        I don’t think you can call anyone actually holding Trump’s feet to the fire a “conservative nutjob”. Those are the Sticker Mule guys writing rap songs about sucking his dick.

          No, he really is a conservative nut job. He just doesn’t like trump because he’s incompetent, not because they aren’t ideologically aligned.

        But he’s had various interviews where he gets interesting results. But yeah, he’s strange.

        Check out his interview of Peter Thiel.

        An old video, too. YouTube’s third suggested video is usually the weakest suggestion. I just watched something about the housing market and my third suggestion is a product announcement video about some AI agent auditing software or something.

        How did you get Snipping Tool to appear in the screenshot? Is this a new “improvement” since I last used Windows? I don’t remember ever seeing that before.

          You click the snip notification when it pops up following the snip and it lets you at markups, been like that for like a decade at least.

            You click the notification to markup the screenshot, but why is the Snipping Tool icon half visible in the taskbar of the screenshot itself? I’m sure it used to be that either you pressed the key to take a screenshot and it took the screenshot before Snipping Tool appeared or you opened Snipping Tool and then took the screenshot after it had appeared.

              Oh I see what you’re talking about, thats weird, also weird that its half in the tool bar rather than completely, I’ll have to pay attention to my work machine next time I use it but i didnt think icons swiped up from from the bottom when they appeared …
