Why is ‘60 Minutes’ amplifying the views of Marjorie Taylor Greene?
CNN criticizes CBS for platforming controversial lawmaker
CNN opinion writer Dean Obeidallah slammed CBS's '60 Minutes' for featuring Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in an interview that aired April 2, 2023. The criticism came after Greene's controversial past actions, including speaking at a 2022 white nationalist event organized by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and her suspension from Twitter for a graphic 'Trans Day of Vengeance' tweet. The segment, promoted with a tease about Greene's 'intense and in-your-face' opinions, was criticized for amplifying a lawmaker whose views include denying the 2018 Parkland school shooting and defending January 6 insurrectionists. Obeidallah compared the decision to former CBS CEO Les Moonves' 2016 comments that Trump's campaign was 'damn good for CBS' despite being 'not good for America.' The segment included interviews with veteran reporter Lesley Stahl but failed to address Greene's extremist views according to critics.
