I have spent a lot of time around people. Out of a general sense of curiosity, I watched the Scott Pelley interview with NYT journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro, who, by professional obligation and sense of career enhancement, stepped into the role of codependent enabler in order to advance a professional narrative that is very disturbing to witness.
In this short video segment below, less than a minute long, what we see is a glimpse into the world of deeply disturbed and mentally unstable people; very likely narcissists, with intensely overstated internal senses of grandiosity and self-importance.
That sense of identity is certainly why these trait carriers need to cloister together in groups, tribal media, in order to receive the affirmation needed to retain their worldview without challenge. These are deeply intolerant, and emotionally unstable people.
What you see below is not emotionally mature or mentally stable behavior. What is witnessed in this video is a psychological pathology and a codependent enabler of that pathology, under the mistaken premise of sensitivity.
This is the opposite of intellectual. This is a disturbed child in an adult physiology. It is alarming to witness outside a clinical or institutional setting. WATCH:
♦ Take it or leave it advice. If you ever encounter this personality trait in a person or group, professionally or personally, I would strongly advise exiting the proximity as quickly and carefully as possible.
Find a way to get away. Do not engage. Do not attempt to talk, discuss, frame counterpoints, debate or engage this mindset with any challenge. Just politely disappear in the least controversial way possible.
There’s no benefit to engaging with unstable people—protect your own peace by avoiding contact. This applies both online and in person. In either case, politely excuse yourself or leave safely.
Be cautious while doing so; it might feel like you’re holding your breath until you’re away, but the main goal is creating distance. Excuse yourself however necessary and find a safe way to leave quietly and without drawing attention but do so with urgency.
The full interview is below. I caution anyone who might be tempted to watch this interview, there is a particular horror in knowing there are people carrying these traits in positions of influence. Jim Jones was less to fear.
It is best to leave management of this psychology to the experts in the field.
There are a lot of people like this in Washington DC, in various stages of this mindset, particularly in the White House correspondents’ media pool.
Having navigated a life of specific control, Scott Pelley represents the apex level of this psychological disorder. When left unchecked for this long, there is no recovery possible. Mr. Pelley will never be wrong in anything, ever.
From the position of his shoes in the closet, to the fold of his towels and the shape of his eggs in the morning, to the acceptable sounds he will tolerate walking through a park; everything is viewed through the prism of self.
Behind that self is a deeply disturbed loathing.
Keep distance. Preserve your peace.
My hearing has declined in recent years with tinnitus interfering with listening. Not much a hearing aid can do and I’ve tried! Would someone here print in a Reply below what Pelley’s last, whispered, hissed comment in the video above was? I would appreciate it;-)
Hey Doc…
Click on the ‘cc’ in upper right corner to help.
thank you Mr Wordman, i suffer that malady also
Thank you. I did not know that.
As tears welled-up in his eyes, he momentarily looks away to regain his composure, and manages to hoarsely whisper … “Not that one!”
(referring to the list of things Trump accused him of being).
The lights dim.
He bows his head.
The Battle Hymm of the Repiblic quietly begins to play in the background.
We hear the muted sobs of widowed war wives and mothers.
And then Pelley’s majestic wings and halo glow in a brilliant golden hue on the darkened set.
Viewers are forced to bite a nuckle and quietly weep…
Acting…actors are really what most media people are,. Pelley was never a journalist.
Always remember what 60 minutes did to Lara Logan, a true and brave journalist.
🤣
Excellent, john…the pathos was overwhelming (see above 😎)
That’s the same look we give the dog when he grabs a “snack” out of the cat’s litter box.
If you could see my face now…
🤣 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
My sister’s dog does same, then looks at us like we don’t know what we are missing 😂
🤢
Thank you Sis!!!!
Perfect 💯🦅💥😂
Well done!
Spot on! 😂 😂 😂 😂
😆Beautiful! 😆
“All the other descriptions the President used about me might be applicable,….not that one.”
This is his last comment from the 58 second video. Hope this helps.
As a kid, we’d call that being a “dipwad”. Don’t know where it first uttered, but quite appropriate in Pelley’s case.
Funny must be older then you. We called them dickweeds
I’m apparently younger..we just call them dicks.
a Dip sh!t
I’m developing tinnitus too.
My daughter had it and took a supplement that made it go away within days – hasn’t recurred in a year.
I keep forgetting to ask her about it, but remember when my head hits the pillow and the familiar “ring” takes center stage in my brain. Ugh!
I shall ask her about it ASAP & then take it myself.
I’ll let y’all know the results!
These frequencies could easily emanate from the wifi networks humming along 24/7 in just about every household. I’ve always been able to hear high pitched sounds, especially at night when the ambient noises have all quieted down.
A sound machine will be your friend.
Yep! My husband has tinnitus and uses a sleep machine to
listen to, “brown noise” to block out the ringing. Works!
OK. I took the bait. I clicked it. Now I’m sickened. This guy is a nutcase and the whole thing is performative targeting women and emotional men.
This guy is GROSS.
Atypical liberal. They have a mental maturity of a kid in the 1st grade. They know everything and can do anything. The live a life of pretending they are something. The boys pretend they are girls etc. They all pretend they are smart. Everyone is supposed to believe them and do as they say. Then along comes reality and that is where Pelley is at right now. They can’t handle the truth and maturity.
And to think of all the innocent minds that believed this guy through the years. That’s what sickens me!
Targeting very low information voters.
I hate to sound crass, but a lot of lefty dim wits have taken themselves out of the gene pool lately. Between their embrace of abortion, birth control, same sex coupling and now the poison death shots, things are not going very well for them. At all.
👏 👏 👏 👏
THEY are everywhere. On both sides of the aisle. Careerists.
Pelley bends over backwards to keep everything about him. Certifiable
I wouldn’t hire a journalist applicant who says they’re motivated by the First Amendment.
TRUTH and transparency anyone??
The First Amendment prevents govt suppression of a Free Press. It also protects ability to editorialize. Truth should be the motivation for journalism.
Scott Smelly, a legend in his own mind.
Prior to this topic I’d never laid eyes on him and seriously could not have picked him out of a lineup.
His whole self-aggrandizing schtick is pathetically hilarious.
Whadda crybaby . . . in a foxhole. . . LOL
0.o
He a feminine Dan Rather.
Funny but when I watched it, the name Dan Rather popped immediately into my mind. He sounds and even slightly looks like a version of Dan Rather. Very similar leftist mindset. He’ll fade into obscurity on some unwatched and unlistened-to podcast. Just like Dan Rather.
Yep, guy is an attention whore.
There seems to be a lot of them around now days.
“In the desert with water coming in”… to the fox hole. Seriously?
Rain-man
He should be so lucky??
The water was coming from his bladder as he pissed himself.
He fashions himself a god
With his wife’s money.
A lot of these people seem to think they have a right to the money others earn.
I was waiting for him to practice “Do you want fries with that?”
Then I wouldn’t feel so bad knowing he will land a job he is actually competent for.
.
DO NOT place him in a job that our President did so well, and so cheerfully.
What a knucklehead! Hey scotty Noone cares about your self righteous pompous duma$$.
A performance worthy of an oscar or a Sarah Bernhardt, aka, “Queen of the Stage” award. . .I am moved to contempt, nothing more.
“…stop the hammering, can someone stop the hammering?”. Rush mocked him hard for that.
That was Lawrence O’Donnell.
They’re all the same..Hannity, Pelley Larry O’Donnell
He was in foxholes, filling up with water, in the dessert…. okay.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
That wasn’t water…
Ok, hang on. So Scott has been in the foxhole, but PDJT hasn’t?
Remind me, please, how many times has someone attempted to get PDJT? And weren’t those fox holes on our soil?
SMH. Some people’s kids.
“Effete men turn to the Left because there they find fashionable and self-righteous justifications for their lack of manhood”.
Well, sir, the current POTUS has had three attempts made to end his life. You, not so much.
I see my decision not to watch 60 Minutes for the past three decades or so was a good one.
When she said and President Trump was exiting, “But I came all the way to Wisconsin…!”,
… in my mind I would have enjoyed his response to be,
“And I’m the POTUS and I flew all the way to Wisconsin for my job. What makes you so special?”
I am sure she is now “Drinking Wisconsinbly”?
47 just took a plain Diet Coke…
You think she wanted to come to “fly over country”, yuck!
Pelley and his fellow cohorts who all very badly do their best to impersonate a journalist are the reason they’re credibility continues to crater to new lows.
Anyone old enough surely understands that the history of 60 minutes is one of lies.
There’s an empty straight jacket waiting to fulfill its purpose. What a pompous “burro.”
We are truly living in a psychopathocracy
PsychopathIDIOcracy
I could only do the first 10 seconds. Knowing what’s coming there is really no need to listen to any more.
The first reaction when watching that clip is the guy is apex-level drunk….
Nailed it perfectly Sundance.
We used to have a guy in our company who was far and away the finest presenter of our line of products. I would bring him to help us win important sales presentations. He was articulate, grasped all the details, made the customer feel like “he was on your side“, he totally won trust with his manner and decorum. But when the show was over, this dude was a egomaniacal, psychotic piece of work. A pure scoundrel, cheated on his wife, cheated in golf, was dishonest to the core. Which eventually got him fired. He was a completely different person out side of the office.
Scott is a great salesman and presenter. He establishes trust, he is articulate, convincing, concerned, and mannerly – he’s on your side!” I can see why CBS made him their top salesman to sell their propaganda products. Scott Pelly reminds me of this dude. His haughtiness sets off alarm bells in my head. In the end when political zealots run out of rope they always say – “I’m a patriot, don’t ever question this!” As if it wipes the slate clean.
That handkerchief interviewing him was all part of the propaganda.
The last time I watched this maniac was in 2010 when he did an interview with Melinda Gates on population control. He said, “the last thing the developing world needs is more children.” He and Gates were discussing the engineering of humans like they are God themselves.
These are really disgusting human or as El Rushbo used to say, human debris
Garbage people.
Thirty-five years ago I took a journalism class at a state university in the most liberal state in the union. The professor used creatively edited video clips that had been aired on 60 Minutes to show us the bias that we should not commit in our careers.

I have read Joseph Galloway
I know Joseph Galloways writing
I know Joseph Galloways thought and beliefs
You, sir, are no Joseph Galloway.
A while ago this YT video appeared in my feed. The title intrigued me: “How Intelligent People Deal With Stupid People — Schopenhauer”.
This mirrors alot of what SD says but goes even deeper i to the issue
Here’s the YT blurb:
Arthur Schopenhauer understood what most people refuse to accept: logic is powerless against willful ignorance. In this video, we explore Schopenhauer’s brutal philosophy on how intelligent minds can protect themselves from the psychologically draining effects of dealing with irrational, foolish, and willfully ignorant people.
From the Dunning-Kruger effect to Daniel Kahneman’s System 1 and System 2 thinking, from Schopenhauer’s “The Art of Being Right” to the ancient strategy of Sima Yi’s Submission Gambit — this video reveals the hidden architecture that the most dangerous minds in history used to neutralize fools without wasting a single drop of intellectual energy.
You will learn:
— Why arguing with a fool is intellectual suicide
— How to weaponize absurdity using reductio ad absurdum
— The psychological quarantine method for protecting your mind
— Schopenhauer’s Porcupine Dilemma and strategic detachment
— The Submission Gambit: How Sima Yi defeated a powerful fool
For tonight during the big game…LOL…in the meantime…we need some humor…

We’ll just call him ‘Birdbrain’🤣🤣🤣
Excellent Mainecoon !! Thank you for this.
YW! I thought it was excellent too.
I’ve been around a lonnnngggg time (84 in a few months)…. This guy is a wack-a- doo!!! We’ve all been around nuts like him in business and elsewhere. Your description Sunshine is “text book”!
Keith Olbermann another one
Great advice Sundance, but sooner or later this enemy will have to be faced; there are simply too many of them in positions of power.
I think they call that stolen valor. Remember Hitlary talking about dodging bullets in Sarajevo, or wherever that fantasy was taking place. Pathetic losers.
After reading Sundance’s great summation, what does 1 do when they suddenly realize wife of 30 years is similar in some of same faults. Rarely wrong, Very self absorbed, can only see situations thru her very narrow lense.
I never realized how bad situation was , maybe for 28 it wasn’t? Last 2 years it really multiplied. She unhappy, me trying to live best life. Being sober 30 years and AA certainly help.
Pray and help others.
Pelley me la pela. I won’t translate that vulgar Spanish phrase but let’s just say I detest crybabies with white hair.
The Desiderata says, “Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit,” but it doesn’t tell us how to deal with a witch’s brew of malevolent passive aggression disguised as righteousness, insufferable, impenetrable smugness and a level of self-pity that I find breath-taking to listen to!
Not that I could stomach much listening!
I got through the 57 sec excerpt and 2:35 of the full interview then turned it off, which I think both Sundance and the ghost of Max Ehrmann would agree is the healthiest thing I can do for my own psyche!
It’s worth mentioning that Barack Hussein Obama possesses all of the infinitely creepy character traits I mentioned above.
Beneath his selfie-taking glibness is a shallowness of mind reflected in his windowless Klingon Prison presidential library, which he insisted on designing himself and, for those who still remember, Obama’s infamous Asteroid-in-a-bag directive to NASA, which entailed sending a rocket to the Asteroid Belt to drag a giant meteor back to earth without having a clue about what to do with it once it’s here! What a blessing THAT life on earth extinction event in the making never got off the ground!
This is the Barack Obama/Scott Pelley’s world of grandiosity and delusion….and they’re welcome to it!
And …. YOU are one of the corrupt journalist that supported RUSSIA GATE and the rest of FISA abuses by omission of the truth to the American people! Biden’s laptop had your cover….. YOUR fingerprints are on almost everything that destroyed 60 minutes as ANY kind of journalism that anyone would be proud of !
President Trump took a bullet for this country, grazed or not. He is more a patriot than this thing.
“Farewell? a long farewell, to all my greatness!
This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honours thick upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And,—when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening,—nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do.” — Act 3, Scene 2 from Henry VII
Henry the 8th, sorry
first amendment v true reporting. he cant see that the sycophant framing narrative of the 5-10% of the population is not needed wanted, will be paid for, (advertising dollars) or tolerated. when the boss and overall director of the network and news division tells you to change course and knock it off, you dont get to say f you.. i have first amendment rights. you can do that but then the firing/termination rightly comes. he and his ilk, in my view any nothing but ass clowns. SD rightly said about these types, no reasoning with them.. true, true, true. unfortunately my mom in same boat. side note: i discussed apparent medicare fraud of about 6k by a dme vendor, and i reporting it to hhs ig, i was the bad one for reporting for investigating and as needed, prosecution.
Who the hell is scott pelly?
Serious question.
Never heard of him, but i havent been around a TV since I left home at 18 and that was 49 yrs ago.
So who is this yayhoo?
Combat ?? COMBAT ?? !! BTDT … but PELLEY ?? !! ??
Pelley is mentally ill … that’s what comes from decades of incurable narcissism … and now it’s 100% on display for all to see …
Wow Sundance. You just professionally diagnosed and dismantled that little prick.
He reminds me of one of my neighbors.
Thank you. 🤜✝️🤛
Sundance —
God bless you.
STOP THE HAMMERING! STOP THE HAMMERING NOW!
“Keep distance. Preserve your peace.” That is likely why I never felt compelled to sign up for any social media. It is also why I don’t tune in to mainstream media. I don’t follow media pundits like Tucker or Bannon..
I find none of the above to be credibly reliable sources of real information, so I have managed to avoid all of them. Yet, I am more informed than ever.
How can that be? Hmm
Correct in your assessment. MSM has for decades morphed into a corrupt psychosis.
“If you ever encounter this personality trait in a person or group, professionally or personally, I would strongly advise exiting the proximity as quickly and carefully as possible.”
dc cesspool is chock full of these types!🦨
“Find a way to get away. Do not engage.”
Reminds me of pearls and swine. The mildest word you speak will be regarded as a bullet, and it won’t be long before the tusks and trotters come out.
Hogs are dangerous.
Back in December of 2020, on the family email network, I was accused by an extended family relative who is a Democratic Party operative in Ohio of being a gullible fool, brain damaged, and a racist pig for supporting Donald Trump and his efforts to fight the stolen 2020 election.
A few of the extended family relatives on the email network chimed in supporting the Ohio relative’s accusations against me.
My response to all of those people — the Ohio relative and those who supported his accusations — was that I was done with them for good and they would not be seeing my face or hearing my voice ever again.
I have not seen or talked to any of these people in the last six years and have no regrets whatsoever about telling them to take a permanent hike.
Similar. And life is much less tiring now.
democrats are a party of adult babies and they want the government to be their daddy and punish their sibblings.
