This is 60 minutes... where we're only 1 year behind the news! This is like their exposé on high-speed trading that came six months after the Flash Crash. Brilliant. Not that I hate the show. But their tendency to cherry pick well-trodden stories always annoys me.

60 Minutes pretty much follows the same template for every story they do. If you watch it enough, they'll eventually cover something you know about, and reveal their total lack of understanding. They just slavishly go through the motions, hitting all the same notes every week.

Indeed. And in addition to that, they don't even dig deeper with the extra time. This expose has all the depth of a pleasant Sunday picnic with Mason.
