Unsurprisingly, 60 Minutes ratings are down.
What people like Ellison don’t understand is that many of us wouldn’t watch CBS News, including 60 Minutes, if you paid us.
Like Bezos, they don’t understand that consuming content is as much a statement of values as anything.

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

Actual question, serious answers only:
Why do some Americans readily accept that certain covert, illegal methods for obstructing the casting/counting of votes are a plausible threat — while dismissing other (covert, illegal) methods for doing the same thing as absurd or not worthy of consideration?

The claims against Donald Trump's anti-voting executive order and the US Postal Service are now clearly ripe and I am representing the Democratic Party to block it from taking effect. I am realistic about the Supreme Court but I believe we will win!
