A landfall on ‘60 Minutes’

Regarding “Irma Rains on Bannon Parade” [Sept. 11]: I was not a fan of Steve Bannon’s style — until Sunday night on “60 Minutes.”

Since you gave a paragraph to Bannon’s physical appearance, I thought it would be only fair of you to spend the same time on the appearance of a baggy-eyed, weary Rose. Beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder.

It might be said that the media’s desperate attempt to gin up viable breaking news around what turned out to be the non-news event of Hurricane Irma’s landfall in the U.S. could only be equaled by Rose’s desperate attempt to inject spectacular denouement into his largely failed takedown of Bannon. Neither event, in any case, was worthy of one’s missing even the most humble of local car chases. In retrospect, it’s a shame local news coverage was preempted in favor of the breathlessly reported “news” of a nonfunctioning traffic light in Miami or a pair of limp palms in Tampa. As my mother might have said, a veritable tempest in a teacup.
