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.
Witness the Jack Lemmon doppleganger delivering a ponderous self serving monologue in acting class.
Whatta heapin’ steamin’ festering manure pile.
What a crybaby. Trump broke him. LOL!
Oh, did President Trump call Pelley a “Little whiney c-word”?!
Well, apparently it’s true!
Someone should get Scotty some vagasil to rub on where it hurts.
Preparation H
Makes sense that Scott has such a huge ego…
Pulleys are always the center of a tension 🙂
This dope has the “martyr’s” syndrome. Absolute disgusting individual. Love to have five minutes alone with him.
He has a very bad complexion. He is not a healthy person.
I’d like to know where and in what desert his foxhole was that was filling up with water. Maybe he’s the Second Coming! He should have changed it into wine. /s
Scotty is very upset he lost his job and is lashing out.
I wonder how many of his “fellow journalists “ at seeBS are upset he is gone? My guess is not many, if any.
Thanks for the heads up. There are quite a few narcissists running around today. Try not to get into their “realm”.
60 Minutes has been a dying product for decades.
Stick a fork in them. They’re done.
If I ever watched 60 Minutes it was so long ago I cannot remember when it was or a single episode. To me it is only one of those holes in the TV schedule that I just click on by with the remote.
I quit watching any of the Sunday morning shows back around 2008 or 2009, and even then it was almost only Fox Sunday. Remember how Obama had his campaign and later his new administration boycott that show because it was somehow biased? Then Chris Wallace gave in to Obama’s demand to change the format or his people would never come on the show. Before that, it was standard that the Republican and Democrat guests would be on air at the same time discussing back and forth whatever the topic was, but after Wallace gave in, it became standard for the Republican to go on first and then followed by the Democrat who would spend his or her time refuting everything the Republican had said. Wallace never tried to push back on any of that and it worked out perfect for the Democrats and is now pretty much the standard everywhere. Shannon Bream seems okay, but not enough for me to fit the show back into my Sunday morning routine.
As for any other “news” or current affairs commentary on TV, I watch almost none of it on any channel. I do occasionally watch the early morning local channels, but mostly only to see the weather and traffic updates, and sometimes even that proves to be incorrect.
Sorry Scott, President Trump has weathered 3 assassination attempts, one that came within 1/4″. You’re a self important, narcissistic fool. Cry us a river, moron, good riddance.
..but don’t cry too much…could flood the foxhole…
Never heard of the man ,Of course I never watched sixty minutes. The last two weeks was more than I needed to Know about Scott Pelley.
Unfortunately D.C. and most of the drive-by media is made up of people just like Scott.
and the lgbtq + crowd who celebrate it
Unbelievably nauseating. Pelley had no problem editing Kamals’s word salad to make her look presidential. He also covered for Biden, who obviously was not capable of going to the bathroom by himself, let alone run a country.
Sundance was right. I barely made it through the small clip. There was no way to get through the whole interview. When he was crying about being in foxholes – isn’t he supposed to be a reporter? That’s what he claims he was.
Good riddance.
Good knows every man’s heart, It will go easy for Mr Pelley.
Sorry, it will not go easy for Mr. Pelley.
this is why PRIDE is often considered the deadliest of the 7 deadly sins ; thus christians and morally normal people do not in any way participate in PRIDE events
Leftists sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because whiny narcissists stand ready to obscure the truth on their behalf.
Wonder if Chris Wallace is bugging Bari for a job?
This is what happens when the marbles in liberal’s heads start reproducing
It’s better that Andy Rooney is not around to witness this. He would have some acerbic commentary with which to close the show and pound the last nail in the coffin for Pelley’s career
@ScottPelley You self important, sanctimonious crybaby! Yes, in 1968– rightly or wrongly, I believed in 60 Minutes and anxiously watched it weekly. Then, somewhere along the line– either I wised up, or you guys sold out– you became 60 Lies. Lesli Stahl’s interview with Donald Trump was more of a “When are you going to stop beating your wife” sound-bite fest, and your reprehensible editing Kamala Harris babbling interview (Yes, I saw both versions) threw out any and all credibility you may have had. You people DESERVED to be fired– years ago– when you stopped being a news source and became a lying propaganda program. You brought this on yourselves!
Temptation finally got the better of me, and I watched the short clip.
Sorry, Scott. YOU AIN’T NO ERNIE PYLE, and DO NOT EVER denigrate the contributions of those in uniform again..
That’s all I care to muster towards this sad, pathetic shadow of a man. 🙁
These gut wrenches expressions when the lies are coming out, but which he totally believes are truths, reminds me of WJC when he said “I did not have sex with that woman…” Psychopaths cut from the same cloth.
