Putz. Prove me wrong.
Matt Taibbi wants "in excess of a million dollars" from @eoinhiggins.bsky.social for writing a book he probably didn't read and certainly didn't understand. Being that Taibbi's recent hobby has been filing and celebrating SLAPP suits, this isn't unexpected, nor is the childishness of the complaint.
Yep. It is, uh, not the best complaint. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is an excellent explanation of how unbelievably incompetent and full on nonsense the note from Weiss was. My guess: 1. Someone who has very little experience is journalism (and not the stuff that tickles billionaires) is clearly a mile wide and foot deep as an editor and in far over her skis.
Watching the segment: The first thing I'm going to zero in on is the crime stats. Here's how 60 Minutes set it up:
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
Here's the rest of Bari Weiss' memo. "We do not present the administration's argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT," and on Sec. Noem's trip "no comment from her or her staff about what her goal on that trip was... or if she had or has concerns about the treatment of detainees." LOL!

Now CBS will look even more unctuous by frantically trying to stop this from being aired EVERYWHERE. Hey, Ellisons, pro tip: The Internet is written in indelible ink and it won’t work.

This is entirely to please Trump, who has voiced criticism of 60 Minutes under the new owners, who are the definition of rank amatuers, emphasis on rank. This Stephen Miller interview suggestion is idiotic in the context of this story and shows a startling lack of sophistication or smarts.

On @pivotpod.bsky.social last week @profgalloway.com rightly criticized @facethenation.bsky.social host Margaret Brennan for doing right wing talking points instead of asking factual questions and it looks like it’s gotten worse this week. What a major fail and an embarrassment.
Squint real hard, and you might just see the “WTAF?!” word balloon that pops above Rep. Massie’s head right after Margaret Brennan finishes her question.
BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?
MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

New theory: The one person missing from the Netflix-Warner-Paramount deal is Elon Musk. He is close to the Ellisons, would love to get his grubby hands on CNN to wreck it and it will garner this attention sponge much needed notice. I would not be surprised if he came in as an investor.

Slack jawed Nepo Mogul
David Ellison appears to be mortified that CBS/60 Minutes is “going rogue” by covering the news and by keeping him “in the dark” about a segment critical of Trump.
Because Ellison doesn’t realize that’s how it’s supposed to work.
