Hot off the heels of a reporting scandalthat saw the vaunted news program ooh and ahh over Benghazi lies, “60 Minutes” has just aired a mind-blowingly charitable “report” on the NSA’s mass surveillance.
Rather than grill NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander about what may be the worst violations of the Constitution in America’s intelligence-gathering history, reporter John Miller, who discloses at the start that he is a former intelligence official, throws softballs that Alexander swings at with his well-practiced and beside-the-point answers.
