Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

Nothing Moves the Needle
Not that long ago, the press could root out corruption, topple presidents, and end wars. Now, even the biggest scoops have little impact. Here's how and why the media lost its mojo.

Mark Ruffalo@markruffalo.bsky.social · 3d agoHe is always playing both sides. Apologist for the fracking industry while saying he protected clean water. Says he will MAHA but doesn’t use his power to get forever chemicals out of our food. He could do it tomorrow. No. It’s always someone else’s fault or he is always “misunderstood”. Phoney.

"Nothing Moves the Needle." For me, this is one of the most successful attempts to explain what's happened to the fourth estate as Trump and his movement try to wreck it. The essay is long, but worth it for the way writer Craig Unger @craigunger.bsky.social redescribes the crisis in journalism.

The official White House account dropped a Rick and Morty-style video last night, packed with bizarre symbolism. I guess it’s about their twisted view of immigration. 🤷🏽♂️ I’m not even sure how to describe what I just watched.
