Critical facts left out of “60 Minutes” interview targeting RT
EDITOR'S NOTE: WE LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR 60 MINUTES' WHOLE SEGMENT WITH MARGARITA SIMONYAN BUT ALL WE COULD FIND IS CLEARLY EDITED SNIPPETS.
Hatchet job attempted by CBS' 60 Minutes
They never factored Margarita Simonyan's robust skills as a debater, doubly fortified by truth. Stahl, to her shame, collaborated in what is by any standard a veiled attack on the First Amendment.

What CBS has allowed to reach YouTube —some of which is reproduced below—is merely a carefully edited version of the 60 Minutes interview with embarrassingly eloquent statements by RT chief Margarita Simonyan.
60 Minutes "confronts" Russia's state-run media RT on election meddling
Notice the ridiculously triumphalistic and mildly intimidating tone used by CBS disinformer Norah O'Donnell when proclaiming that "US intelligence" (we are supposed to be impressed by that) has established that Russia interfered with US elections...as if that was proof conclusive of anything instead of precisely the opposite. Only morons or disinformers like O'Donnell would play such a dubious role, but that is what these pampered people do day in and day out, and are richly rewarded for it. As it is, Simonyan crushes the line attempted by her designated inquisitor, in this case 60 Minutes veteran staffer Leslie Stahl.
BONUS, MORE INNUENDO AGAINST RUSSIA
For good measure, the US media are happy to generate and circulate material like this, too. It's all part of the unrelenting campaign to blacken the image of Russia.

Margarita Simonyan is far more knowledgeable than anyone on 60 minutes, and it shows.
