Leave it to "60 Minutes" to bring on the leader of a "misinformation research group" and then fail to disclose all the pertinent details of her background. The left-wing news program was caught red-handed when it was revealed that Kate Starbird isn't actually an unbiased arbiter of truth and fiction. The background of this story involves the following interview, in which Starbird and "60 Minutes'" Lesley Stahl complain that X (formerly Twitter) wasn't at their beck and call to censor content they deem to be "misinformation."

After the last two elections and their obsession with calling everything non-communist misinformation, I have determined that misinformation=truth.
60 Minutes? Is that still on? Haven't seen it since the 80s.

All Red State stories are now locked behind a nag wall. Not doing it. That's why I have all of you. LOL

FTA: what Starbird says is derived from either dishonesty or stupidity.
The two are not mutually exclusive. Defining oneself as an "expert" in such an etherious field is often a clue that one is a hack. I also suspect that her name is fake. But Brandon gave her $2.5 million to study misinformation so she's okay in his little mind.

60 Minutes has been a lie-athon since its inception. From its very beginning to the present day its vignettes have been carefully crafted to elicit emotion in favor of or aversion to one entity by shading or ignoring facts important to the other side. It has always been untrustworthy.

There's no such thing as misinformation, there's just information. People who can think critically are more than capable of evaluating the information they receive and coming to an informed conclusion. This is where the left has a problem, the only information they want out there is that which supports their narrative.

All I needed to know was that she is a professor at the University of Washington. UW is not a place for education, it is a big campus of nothing but communists.

Does anyone wonder why TV is now just as dead as the movies? There will not be more heroes--action or otherwise. You will have to make heroes of own your parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunt, uncles, and cousins. You can't even pick local heroes outside your family because there are so many "fact-checkers" willing to tear them down, even if they've already been nominated for sainthood! Need I remind you? Facts Have No Feelings.

Leslie Liar Stahl shows up,for a conservative interview with Billy clubs tire irons and tasers. For a Democrat she dons knee pads and chap stick.
60 minutes has bee in decline since Mike Wallace retired.

I'm with poster #7. 60 Liars has never been a good show, at least not since I first saw it in the mid 70s. Like all the national news broadcasts back then, I found myself saying, "Wth? These people are lying". Conservatives were always reported on as backward and evil, and the supposed "liberals" were sage and heroic. I remember thinking when CNN started up back in 1980 something better was on the way. Boy, was I wrong!!
Also around the same time, The Weather Channel came into being. Now THAT channel was actually good for decades. However, the leftists took it over and it's been the (Global Warming) Propaganda Channel for the last decade or so. It's hard to remember when they went to the dark side since I stopped watching it.

A misinformation expert is just a class of social media influencers who tell you what to think. Think for yourself and you have no need for them! Btw, they will lie to make their point. That's when you realize they cannot be trusted. Very telling that these people can spread their lies and misinformation on a nationwide platform like '60 Minutes'. People think they can trust what they see there.

Nothing new about "60 Minutes" lying and misrepresenting their "guests" as unbiased victims of government/big business. What is new is alternative media exposing them quickly and their brand is no longer the gold standard in journalism...such as it is. The Big 3 Networks no longer have a strangle-hold on the news and their influence is dwindling along with their number of viewers.
Ms. Starbird, if indeed that's her real name, looks ridiculous. Her time at the Maddow Make-over Clinic was a waste of money. She really needs a good tailor/seamstress to work on that ill-fitting suit.

I always enjoyed watching Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes.
He was always prepared & ask the right questions.
Plus you never knew his politics.
Like Tim Russert he was fair.
All gone now.
