It’s a classic Soviet disinformation technique. Poison the infosphere so no one will believe anything they hear.

The Press responds : It’s all good ! We’ll continue to treat all this man’s actions as perfectly normal.
ETA; The good news, however, is Mikey Cohen’s business partner has just turned State’s Evidence.
Seriously? Details, please!
I hate to second guess Leslie Stahl, but it would have been great to include that aside in your original report.
A significant business partner of Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s personal lawyer, has quietly agreed to cooperate with the government as a potential witness, a development that could be used as leverage to pressure Mr. Cohen to work with the special counsel examining Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Under the agreement, the partner, Evgeny A. Freidman, a Russian immigrant who is known as the Taxi King, will avoid jail time, and will assist government prosecutors in state or federal investigations, according to a person briefed on the matter.
Tune to CNN. His name is Freidman, I think he’s in the Taxi Medallion thingy with Cohen.
Oh, Leslie. I wish someone had been able to record that.
I despise him.
Get in line, sister!! LOL!! We all despise him and want to see him and his entire crime family rot in hell.
He’ll blab it out, sooner or later. He’s getting close to actually shooting someone on 5th Ave.
Sez who? Sez who?
Unfortunately, Ms. Stahl, what you have is mere hearsay…
Bloody fucking obvious as well, not that it matters to the feral tribalists…
And, there you have it. Signed, sealed but, alas, not recorded.
He will just come out tomorrow and say it is a lie.
"I do it to discredit you all and demean you all, so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.”
Then he shape-shifted into Baphomet, ripped off the cameraman’s head with his barbed tongue, and gorged on his entrails as she calmly continued the interview, eventually wrapping up, and thanking The Evil Lord for access amid his hectic schedule of unspeakable cruelty, blood-feasting, and golf.
That cold dead look in his eyes. The look of an individual who has never felt compassion or a sense of duty to another human being in his entire life. What is it about him that people find worthy to place their vote? It is astonishing to me. Then again, maybe those who vote for him aren’t much different.
Well, at least it didn’t take Lesley quite as long to share this deeply alarming anecdote, as it did for her to share with the American people her horrified realization that then-president Ronald Reagan was suffering from dementia, a fact that she (and CBS) covered up quite deliberately.
He had them with “Only I can fix it!”
They like a strongman. Or someone pretending to be one.
I used to watch 60 Minutes regularly. Then they hired Ms Stahl. Worst journalist ever. Accepts anything told to her as fact. See the Kanzias cancer self-therapy episode from a few years back. He lights up a florescent tube with some high voltage field. They used to do this in 1940’s carnivals.
To be clear, the NYT covered Trump in 2011 when he said this:
“It’s like in golf. A lot of people – I don’t want this to sound trivial – but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive. It’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can’t sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.”
