And so, it begins – the epic battle of wits between Elon Musk and “60 Minutes.” I mean, who doesn’t love a good showdown between a billionaire with a bad haircut and a news program that’s been around longer than he’s been alive? But, let’s get serious for a second (just a second, I promise). Apparently, Musk is calling for the “60 Minutes” team to receive a “long prison sentence” for their supposed interference in the 2024 presidential election. Because, you know, that’s exactly what the country needs – more prison sentences for journalists doing their job.
But, I digress. The drama all started when “60 Minutes” posted a graphic on X (formerly Twitter) featuring a quote from former USAID administrator Andrew Natsios, a Republican, who said that USAID is “the most accountable aid agency in the world.” And, of course, Musk had to jump in and defend his buddy Donald Trump, because that’s what friends are for, right? He even went so far as to ignore the show’s request for an interview – how very presidential of him.
And, as if things couldn’t get any crazier, Musk started ranting about how “60 Minutes” deserves a long prison sentence for their “deliberate deception” in interfering with the last election. I mean, I’ve seen some wild tweets in my time, but this one takes the cake. Or should I say, it takes the Twitter cake? But, in all seriousness, it’s a bit rich coming from someone who’s been known to stretch the truth from time to time.
But, let’s not forget the president himself, who’s previously called for the news program to be “immediately terminated.” Because, you know, the best way to deal with criticism is to just shut it down. And, of course, there’s the $10 billion lawsuit that Trump brought against CBS, accusing “60 Minutes” of deceptively editing its interview with Kamala Harris. But, as The Wall Street Journal reported, some executives have raised concerns that settling the lawsuit could expose them to legal threats.
And, in a bizarre twist, CBS released the unedited transcript and camera feeds from the Harris interview, which apparently confirmed that the “broadcast was not doctored or deceitful.” But, hey, who needs facts when you have a good conspiracy theory, right? But, seriously, it’s a bit concerning when the president and his allies are trying to bully a news program into silence.
In making these edits, “60 Minutes” is always guided by the truth and what they believe will be most informative to the viewing public – all while working within the constraints of broadcast television. I mean, it’s not like they’re trying to brainwash us or anything (although, if they were, I’m pretty sure they’d be using more effective techniques).
Anyway, it’s been a wild ride, folks. And, as always, I’ll just leave you with this: fake news is bad, but real news is good. Unless, of course, the real news is reporting on something that you don’t like, in which case it’s probably just fake news anyway.
But, hey, what do I know? I’m just a frustrated, over-caffeinated person ranting on the internet.
