"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

60 Minutes has always been the left's unofficial propaganda ministry
Leslie Stahl covered a story that involved the federal agency I worked at (the "Kennewick Man", a legal battle over the possession of a set of ancient human remains).
However, she never really contacted the district; instead, she tried to ambush interview the district commander (engineer districts have a commissioned officer as the commander) as he walked out the door at the end of a work day. There's a public affairs officer there, and she deliberately sidestepped that.
The last laugh was on her, though.
She was in town at the same time as a change of command was in process. So we had TWO colonels in the building, and she snagged the incoming commander .
Now, the incoming officer had been in town for maybe a day or two, and thus was not up to speed on the matter. More importantly, as he hadn't officially assumed command, was not in any position to respond to media inquiries.
So he smiled, told her the truth, told her to contact public affairs to arrange an interview, and walked on.
I wrote them off when they boned Audi and have ignored them ever since. The only thing I paid attention to was the laughably forged 'memos' that 60 Minutes 2 used to try to sway an election. Liars gonna lie, 60 Minutes gonna 60 minute.
I haven’t watched 60 Minutes in decades. The last time might have been around the time of Rathergate, but before that I was really turned off by the hit jobs and ambushes they’d started doing on people.

I forgot to add that I hadn't watched '60 Minutes' for a long time before that, and this episode merely confirmed my decision not to do so.
