60 Minutes frames the GOP House Speaker holdouts like they were grave threats to democracy

Kevin McCarthy was recently voted in as House Speaker, but it took 15 ballots to get it done after some GOP holdouts had some demands that were met:

Republican Kevin McCarthy was elected House speaker on a historic post-midnight 15th ballot early Saturday, overcoming holdouts from his own ranks and floor tensions that boiled over after a chaotic week that tested the new GOP majority’s ability to govern.

“My father always told me, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,” McCarthy told cheering fellow Republicans.

Eager to confront President Joe Biden and the Democrats, he promised subpoenas and investigations. “Now the hard work begins,” the California Republican declared. He credited former President Donald Trump for standing with him and for making late calls “helping get those final votes.”

With that in mind, just watch how Leslie Stahl framed the story during 60 Minutes:

Did 60 Minutes let the DNC write that? Because that sounds no different than how the Democrats would frame the story.

They were trying to hard to make the holdouts sound as if they were staging their own “insurrection” that the 60 Minutes stopwatch nearly exploded.

The alternate 60 Minutes take could have been that the Republicans don’t march in lock-step like the Democrats did behind Nancy Pelosi, but of course they weren’t about to go there.

Recently they had the always-wrong Paul Ehrlich on to spout more doomsday predictions, so 60 Minutes is apparently no longer to be taken seriously.

That was nothing short of shameless and exactly the kind of “journalism” we’ve all come to expect these days.
