Opinion: Why is ‘60 Minutes’ amplifying the views of Marjorie Taylor Greene? | CNN

I'm kinda mixed about this whole thing... I think 60 Minutes has a right to feature whoever they want on their show, but at the same time, I get why some people are upset about Greene's views . I mean, she has said some pretty outrageous stuff in the past. On one hand, it's good that CBS is trying to give her a platform and have a conversation with her. On the other hand, if they're not gonna question her on some of the more... questionable things she's said, then what's the point? I think 60 Minutes needs to take a closer look at their own standards for journalism and make sure they're not just prioritizing ratings over actual reporting. It's like, we need to be having real conversations about important issues, but if we're just gonna give a platform to people who are spreading hate and misinformation... that's not helpful .

I'm so worried about what's going on with 60 Minutes lately . I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene is just a perfect example of how extreme views are getting more airtime than they should be. And I get it, ratings are important, but you can't just sacrifice journalistic integrity for the sake of clicks and views.

It's not fair to the rest of us who are trying to have a real conversation about these issues. We need to hold politicians accountable for their words and actions, not give a platform to people who spread hate speech and conspiracy theories like it's nothing . And what really gets me is that they're doing this now, when we really need media outlets to be holding the line on extremism and polarization.

I remember when 60 Minutes was all about shedding light on important issues, not just sensationalizing them for the sake of ratings . It feels like we're losing that sense of responsibility and accountability in journalism, and it's really worrying me. We need to get back to basics here – what's right, what's wrong, and what's worth talking about .

I'm really worried about this one... I mean, I get that 60 Minutes wants to give a platform for different perspectives, but come on! Marjorie Taylor Greene has been spewing hate speech and conspiracy theories left and right . It's just not okay to normalize that stuff. I think they should've done more vetting before having her on the show . And what really gets me is when politicians like her try to spin it as if they're being persecuted for speaking their minds . Newsflash: just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you get to spew hate and expect everyone else to be okay with it . It's like, we need our media outlets to be doing better than this... holding people accountable for their words and actions is key!
