WTF? 60 minutes is doing stories that are boring and unwatchable.

I'm sorry, I've been watching 60 Mins for over 35 years and I know I'd never approve of some of these boring and uninteresting stories. Neither would Don Hewitt for christssake! I like Steve Kroft and Leslie Stahl and of course Morley Safer but they're not allowed to carry the show anymore. Maybe they don't care or they just have the wrong writers/producers but I'd rather they fix the show instead of letting it go to rot.

ANd to the head honcho who runs 60 Minutes I have one thing to say: FIRE SOMEBODY!!!!

You will recall that our housing bubble a few years ago wrecked the whole world economy. China is at least as important to the world as we are. There could be very serious effects if they have a major economic collapse. The fact that you were not able to see the relevance of that segment speaks to your ignorance.

(And for all intensive purposes, sweeps no longer exist. They do technically, but that's not how ad rates are determined and programming decisions are not based on them in any major way. At least not at the national level or in any major markets.)
