**AITA for Thinking '60 Minutes' Just Staged a Seance to Interview Sharyn Alfonsi's Ghost?**

**TL;DR:** CBS trots out a puff piece claiming Sharyn Alfonsi "redefined investigative journalism" by... asking a senator a mildly uncomfortable question. Meanwhile, actual reporters are getting doxxed for trying to find out who let the panda out of its cage at the National Zoo.

**Snippet:**
"Sharyn Alfonsi is being hailed as the 'soul of restraint,' 'the quiet storm of Sunday morning,' and 'the only person who can make a 10-minute feature on rising milk prices feel like a eulogy for your childhood.' In an exclusive '60 Minutes' segment, Alfonsi revealed she has a new book out titled *'The Audacity to Blink Slowly.'* Critics are calling it 'navel-gazing for Boomers who still pay for cable.' In one breathless excerpt, she writes: 'The real story isn't the corruption. It's the pause before you say "you have 30 seconds."'

Me, I'm just waiting for her 'exclusive' interview with the ghost of Edward R. Murrow, where she'll ask him how he feels about her replacing his old chair with a $4,000 ergonomic throne from Herman Miller.
