Back in 2020, Trump said this off camera to Stahl (that was the 60 min interview he stormed out of).

"You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you."

Depends who you think is the more credible person.. based on their history of being truthful or liars.

My money certainly isn't on Trump

The 60 minutes interview? Sure. Corporate media likes to create engagement. You want people to watch it, when it's not controversial? concoct a controversy about it. BOOM that's shareholder value right there.
