CBS 60 Minutes is about to have a hit piece on American guns

Stop watching CBS

Haven't watched this sheit program since Danny the Retard was trekking through the Afghan mountains in a burka with a mule as his only sexual companion !!!

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

That was Dateline NBC. They ended up apologizing and firing the people who rigged the explosions because the trucks (square body pick up and light duty chassis) had passed all of the federal requirements.

60 Midgets did an "expose" of semi trailer and truck rear bumpers causing deaths when drivers ran into them. I think that might be the last time I watched the show. Not once did they mention that it was the fault of the drivers who ran into the backs of the trucks. They called for federal regulations to make those "bumpers" safer for people to run into.

The 60 Midgets formula has long been one "expose" hit piece heavily edited to make the target look bad, one more or less non controversial story, and one human interest story to make someone look like a Saint on earth.

Ummmm, to be fair, we don't need that shroud on your lawnmower. I mean, just a metal skeletonized frame and 4 wheels. Seems superflourous to add all that extra metal. Safety? F safety!

Maybe a car was travelling fine and got shoved by a bad driver into the lane where a truck is driving significantly slower. SLAM! Not the soccer-mom's fault, but she's dead anyhow.

There's a base level of safety in this world. If someone has a survivable accident if they hit a brick wall but is decapitated by a truck at the same speed, they should fix the truck design.

Again, how many people REALLY died of blowd'up'ed'ness in a Pinto???? Don't get into a rear-end accident and you're AOK, right?

But yeah, 60Min is trash anyhow. LOL

And I'm 95% sure it was 20/20 that did the bumper story.

We should be able to get what we pay for..!!

 

[ChevyGuy91]

Stop watching TV

FIFY

 

[Wickedcoolname]

People still watch broadcast TV? When, between churning butter and hand cranking their model-T?

Despite all of the mandated safety equipment, people manage to kill or injure themselves. People stick their hands down the shoot of a running snow blower, they strap down "dead man" switches on lawn mowers, they don't wear seatbelts or worse buckle them BEHIND their backs. How many people have shot themselves with "unloaded" Glocks?

There is no base level of safety in this world.

Who should pay for the redesign of the rear of the truck? I know who WILL pay, but those aren't the people that should pay.

I'm 100% sure you're wrong as I never watched 20/20 even once.

FIFY...just because... (yes, I tend to be OCD with things like this).

 

[timbo]

Wasn’t it 60 Minutes that did the fake Ford Pinto exploding episode where you can see the explosives under the car as it flips?

I remember the Pinto thing. A Navy friend of mine owned a Pinto in the 70's. He painted a target on the back...for a while he called it his Pinto Bomb until it started leaking oil like an old Harley...then he started calling it the Pinto Valdez. He had a rather sardonic sense of humor to say the least...

At least Andy Rooney is dead.

 

[SS1]

Yeah, been meaning to ask, where at the mill they selling the AT4s?

Did they not get caught using pics from other stories that had nothing to do with the story they were reporting on

In 1986, their bogus reporting and rigging of a car's transmission with a compressed air hose nearly forced Audi out of the US. Drivers complained of "unintended acceleration" when in fact they had been pushing the accelerator, not the brake. CBS showed tearful "victims," including one woman who ran over her kid. They never mentioned that in no car sold could the engine overpower the brakes. Sales dropped by about 70%. After 3 years of ridiculous research, the NHTSA completely exonerated Audi. CBS never apologized or even withdrew the story. This incident is why you now have to step on the brake to start your car or shift into gear.
