In the history of numbskullery in the journalisming history, batty Leslie Stahl from 60 Minutes asked quite possibly the dumbest question I've ever heard. It was so offensively bad I'm almost speechless, which I recognize is an odd way to start a blog post containing words and opinions. In an interview with a freed Israeli hostage, she asked him if maaaaaaybe Hamas could have had an understandable reason for starving him.

Quick recap: On October 7th, 2023, Israel was the victim of a heinous terrorist attack at the hands of Hamas. On October 8th, 2023, progressives in progressive cities throughout America started rallying that the Jews were asking for it (I'm paraphrasing). Jewish-American students were terrorized, attacked, and prevented from entering college buildings. The media simped for Palestine, which makes you wonder who really "runs the media."

Two of the people captured on October 7th were Keith Seigel and his wife Aviva. Aviva was realised the following month. Keith remained in captivity for over a year. He shared the harrowing experience with Stahl, where the following exchange took place.

Siegel: The terrorists became very mean, and very cruel, and violent. ... they were beating me and starving me.

Stahl: Do you think they starved you or they just didn't have food?

Pause.

Continue.

Keith Siegel: No, I think they starved me and they-- they would often eat in front of me and not--offer me food.

Scott Jennings put it best. It's time for the old broad to retire.

"Old broad" is my word. Jennings is a Southern gentleman who went more the "bless her heart" route.

You almost -- almost -- want to give her the benefit of the doubt that she just released some noxious brain flatulence. Anyone who has ever done a podcast or has talked for an extended period of time has those moments where words fall out of your mouth and you aren't sure how they got there.

Then you remember most of Stahl's progressive jorunalisming colleagues would ask the same the question.

Brodigan is Grand Poobah of this here website and when he isn't writing words about things enjoys day drinking, pro-wrestling, and country music. You can find him on the Twitter too.
