So yes, a question for the people at CBS News and their news program "60 Minutes."
Last week, you spent the entire hour on singers and performers because your program was just before the Grammys you were broadcasting that same night.
This week, tonight, you have:
- who is to blame in the shooting death of an 11-year-old boy? His brother, who was holding the rifle, or the gun itself
- U.S. war planners estimate half a million people could be killed if a second Korean war breaks out
- The highest ranking North Korean defector explains why the regime there is more dangerous to the US than ever
That story would be on our new President, Trump---and in many facets.
There are many, many different ways in which he is doing things vastly differently than any president ever, first. But more importantly, if not downright scarily, he is doing and saying things that threaten other Americans and even our own democracy as well as Democracy. Here are just a few:

So the question is, CBS News and "60 Minutes", what does this new President and his administration have to do to get you to cover them? At what point will you report on even one of the many issues of national and international import emanating from this man and his new group of people?
What does this guy have to do to get reported on by you all?
Does he have to "shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue", so to speak?
When do we get to the "news"? The big news. Really, the biggest news.
