If You Take the Weasel Job Then You Must Be the Weasel. “Bilton reveals himself as a goon, a soft-peddler, a PR man, an obfuscator; the opposite of everything that 60 Minutes is supposed to be”.

Me on Bluesky yesterday:

I've met Nick Bilton a couple times and he's a friend of friends, so I'm going to be diplomatic here: he's a vichy collaborator who took on the job of destroying a load-bearing beacon of journalistic truth on behalf of a right-wing billionaire bc Pres DJT got his wittle feewings hert. Shame!

This is not "just business"! Conservatives are turning the nation's newspapers & media companies into Fox Newses that propagandize for the Trump regime and the people who participate should be called out and shamed!

You know how I feel about "just business".
