60 Minutes journalist tasked to report on the NSA used to work for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. So there’s that.

So 60 Minutes assigns a friend of the military to a military story & a friend to intelligence to an intelligence story. Great.

Remarkable how media outlets allow US govt officials to defend policies w/out challenge, no matter who is in the WH.

I’m concerned that 60 Minutes may be depleting the strategic softball reserve with its NSA questions.

If you tuned in expecting to see 60 Minutes, just go read the NSA’s press releases. On the West Coast, too.

Hey, young people: Believe it or not, “60 Minutes” once stood for solid, deep, important journalism. I know, that sounds absurd now.

State TV RT @tnyCloseRead Quick pivot on @60minutes from Snowden character-trashing to how NSA will save us all from cyber attacks…

60 Minutes forgot to ask about how James Clapper & Keith Alexander routinely lied to Congress & FISA courts – just ran out of time.

That was embarrassing for 60 Minutes: Two public relations segments for the NSA. Worse than bogus Amazon drone video.

John Miller, the journalist who did that @60Minutes report on the NSA was once the national spokesman for the FBI.

Hey guess what, NSA called @60Minutes to do that segment. Then they had a group of minders at all the interviews: http://t.co/6AnPyYRA2V

If this is true, how in the world did 60 Minutes not disclose it last night? http://t.co/KKwlvATuod

RT @benwizner I honestly think this NSA propaganda video (http://t.co/6WujhlFsmn) was more hard-hitting than tonight’s 60 Minutes travesty.

Wow, the 60 Minutes piece about the NSA was just embarrassing. Kudos to the NSA communications staff. You guys should get a raise.

Even for those w/low opinion of US media, 60 Min sunk to new lows of subservient journalism http://t.co/fQfhA7mpLo – http://t.co/Bo768Ez6fw

John Miller: Journalists said a thing about you, is this true? Keith Alexander: No, no it’s not true. John Miller: I didn’t think so!
