President Biden’s interview with 60 Minutes continues to draw reaction from the news media and WOR 710 midday host Mark Simone piled on the CBS program by claiming Scott Pelley’s questions weren’t tough enough on the President.
While criticizing Biden’s answer to a question on inflation, Simone criticized the media as a whole for their treatment of the President.
“Scott Pelley was the interviewer. You have to remember, if that was Donald Trump or if that’s George Bush, they’re banging away at him,” Simone said. “Every time he talks there’s a follow up. ‘Yeah but wait a minute, how you come you said…’. When it’s Biden, watch, its like they’re talking to a baby. There’s no follow ups, and if they have to do a follow up when he says something outrageous — when he says ‘There’s no inflation’ — gotta say something. ‘Excuse me, sir, it’s 8.3%’.”
Simone then continued to claim 60 Minutes would have never allowed former President Trump to answer things the way Mr. Biden did.
“Now, since this is 60 Minutes, — and they’re totally corrupt — if that were Trump they would have hit him with ‘Wait a minute it’s soared up to the worst inflation ever and you’re thrilled it stayed there?’. They didn’t question him much.”
