    @Bush Lawyer,

    That's not a written agreement. That's not even evidence of a written agreement. Without that, it's impossible to know what, if anything, was agreed to. I'm beyond the point of taking CBS News' word for anything (and you should be too if you value integrity).

    We do not know what sort of agreement they are referring to, oral or written. All we know is that they say there was one, and Trump is not denying it. Dunno whether you have the right to lecture me on what I should value to maintain integrity. I think that is for me to decide.

    You don't find their vagueness and lack of evidence the least bit troubling? You're prepared to take the source of Rathergate at their word?

    I'm watching the Trump CBS interview now. It's hilarious when she says, "This is 60 Minutes, we can't put on things we can't verify." :roflol: That must be a new policy.

    What was vague? They said there was an agreement and that Trump breached it. Nothing vague in that and Trump has made no denial. Given that Trump has a history of not keeping to his agreements, reckon I will sway to the mob who assert there was one, as would be normal commercial practice.

    Was the agreement with President Trump, or just a staff member? Was it written down, or just a verbal agreement? If it was written down, who signed it? What other stipulations were in the agreement? You can't answer ANY of that, because CBS is being VAGUE with the details of their supposed agreement.

    LOL, busted. Because you're defending them, because you keep whining about Trump violating an agreement... which you're now admitting you have not seen, you have no idea what's in it, you don't even know for a fact whether there ever was an agreement.

    Was fun, wasn't it? :) That was not an interview, it was a clear and transparent attempted entrapment. She spent the entire 38 minutes literally begging Trump to say something negative (i.e. unemployment is up) that should could edit, distort, take out of context and present in the worst possible light on Sunday.

    Trump did great, he was onto her from the get go, totally cleaned her clock and he did end up having a good informative interview that 60 minutes can not possibly twist. As an added bonus the American people now know how sausages (that is fake news) are made. :D

    CBS approached the whole event with some malice. If they are not going to give a fair interview, then why play by their rules? It's way past due they got exposed... AGAIN... Hello Dan Rather.

    Oh yes I do. They assert there was an agreement. Trump makes no denial of that.

    Mate, I can see nothing unfair in any question. I saw Trump whinge at the outset that he is happy as long as they are 'fair.' All I saw was Trump using that Podium to make campaign speeches I have seen a zillion times at his rallies, no matter what question was asked. I guess 60 Minutes sought to make him accountable and they did not want him to use their platform to propagandise.

    And you don't think CBS News' ability to just "assert" and be believed should be in some doubt at this point, given their history with assertions?

    I could go on with paragraphs, but the answer is, no. I have seen far too many Trump lies to ever believe that any non-Trumper thing needs to make stuff up. There is no need to lie about him. He is history.....soon, and you really ought to be happy that happens. The USA might get its mojo back internationally. Right now, it is a laughing stock. I know you will not believe that, but ey, I am out here, down here, and 'you' cannot afford 'for more years.'

    It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't care. True or not, it doesn't matter what Australians, or Europeans, are laughing at. They don't matter.

    CBS is saying there was an agreement, and the agreement was broken.
    Nobody on the Trump /WH side disputes what CBS says.

    And their word is trash, so absent some evidence to support their assertion, I'm not prepared to believe them or take them at their word.

    "CBS News calls out W.H. for breaking agreement and posting Trump's '60 Minutes' interview online"

    Trump is not a man of his word, we all know that, the world knows that

    they asked trump questions, they so mean to Trump, Trump is mentally unable to answer questions, they should know that, it was a set up

    it's like when republicans said Trump lies so much talking under oath would be a perjury trap
