This letter from 60 Minutes’ new EP, Nick Bilton, is so telling and transparent.
It’ll be hilarious to listen to anyone defend Pelley after reading this. And when they do, they will do so dishonestly.
Letter from Bilton to Pelley below.
ELECTION DAY: just remember, if you want to save California, vote for Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt. You must, however, do even more than that. The Democrats will have an army out there “harvesting” ballots. If you know someone who is sick of the Gavin Newsom/Karen Bass nightmare, help them with their ballot to vote to change California back to the Golden State it once was.
Aplausos de pie para @cayetanaAT, que le da mega cachetada con guante blanco a la soberbia @Claudiashein…
“La soberanía no es una bandera, no un discurso inflamado contra el extranjero. No reproche histórico lanzado desde la mañana.
La soberanía empieza en algo mucho más elemental: poder salir a las calles sin pedir permiso al criminal, poder abrir un negocio sin pagar extorsión, publicar verdad sin calcular su coste de sangre, votar sin que nadie haya decidido ya el resultado desde un despacho sin ventanas.
Un país no es soberano sólo porque nadie lo invada, también tiene que impedir que otros poderes lo vacíen desde dentro.”
Y remata magistralmente:
“Quien amenaza a la soberanía mexicana no son los Estados Unidos, no es España y desde luego no es la historia, ni Hernán Cortés ni Isabel la Católica.
Lo que amenaza a la soberanía de los mexicanos son tres fenómenos o flagelos internos y corrosivos:
1. El crimen organizado
2. El populismo autoritario
3. La mentalidad de dependencia”.
Son feministas hasta que Bad Bunny les baila pegado.
Son socialistas hasta que descubren lo cómoda que es volar en primera clase.
Son ecologistas hasta que toca un fin de semana en yate o un vuelo a las Maldivas.
Son tolerantes hasta que se enteran de que votas a la derecha.
Son pacifistas hasta que alguien discrepa de ellos.
Son partidarios de la libertad de expresión hasta que escuchan algo que no les gusta.
Son antielitistas hasta que los invitan a un reservado VIP.
Son ciudadanos del mundo hasta que les toca tenerlos de vecino.
Son partidarios de repartir la riqueza hasta que les toca repartir la suya.
News is a Narrative. Journalism has never been objective.
The self-aggrandizing whining by Scott Pelley and others at 60 Minutes is a last gasp of their "without fear or favor" bullshit
They're political hacks who got exposed in the Trump era and no longer wield the power over perception they once did
But it was always a lie. The pretense of journalism as a neutral, nonpartisan career path is a 20th century fiction
When America was still colonies, newspapers were openly partisan. They were organs of political parties. There was honesty in this. They didn't hide the overall agenda from the reader.
Only a moron could believe today that 60 minutes, CBS News, NYT, WaPo or any lib press outfit is unbiased (or ever has been)
Their most consistent ethic is to be unethical. The central premise of their profession- "we just tell the truth"- is a lie
Ultimately the objection to change at 60 minutes is really just rage that the general public sees them for what they are- activists and stooges
People who pay attention and live in reality no longer trust them, and their self-anointed role as the priesthood of truth has become a laughingstock
Whoopi Goldberg’s comments reveal everything wrong with identity politics.
I didn’t marry my wife because she’s white.
She didn’t marry me because I’m Black.
We got married because we share the same values, the same faith, and the same vision for raising a family.
At no point did marrying a white woman make me less Black.
At no point did marrying a Black man make my wife less white.
What it made us was a family.
The people obsessed with race can’t understand that most Americans don’t choose friends, spouses, or family based on skin color. We choose them based on character, values, and love.
The civil rights movement wasn’t about putting race at the center of everything. It was about moving beyond it.
Jamie Dimon, Mark Carney, and Tony Blair just started sounding exactly like Donald Trump.
That's not a coincidence. It's surrender.
When your enemies start using your language, you've already won the battle. Here's what they're scrambling to hide 👇
“How many people that you meet that are unhoused don't have teeth at all? They don't have teeth. Why? Because meth rots your teeth. You can't succeed without teeth!”

Hey, @spencerpratt,
In Los Angeles, there are 2 types of “zombies”:
1) Drug addicts on the streets urinating and defecating.
2) Voters who step over them and keep voting for Democrats.
Called the "Grey Ghost" by the Germans because of his seemingly supernatural ability to repeatedly return to the battlefield after they thought they'd killed him...
Wounded seven times and refused evacuation on multiple occasions, even checking himself out of a hospital in England and hitchhiking back to the front lines in France to fight again with his men.
This is New York WWII legend, Matt Louis Urban.
Some acts of courage are so extraordinary that they almost defy belief.
In June 1944, as American forces fought their way through the hedgerows of Normandy, Captain Matt Urban's company was being torn apart by enemy tank fire. Men were falling. The attack was stalling.
Urban picked up a bazooka.
Accompanied by a single ammunition carrier, he crawled through the hedgerows under relentless fire until he was close enough to engage the tanks. Then, standing in full view of the enemy, he destroyed both of them.
His company surged forward.
Hours later, a 37mm tank round shattered his leg. He refused evacuation and continued leading the attack. The next morning, wounded and bleeding, he led another assault before being hit again.
Eventually evacuated to England, Urban learned that his battalion was suffering terrible losses in France.
He didn't wait to recover.
Still limping from his wounds, he left the hospital and hitchhiked his way back to his unit near Saint-Lo, France.
When he arrived, he found them pinned down by fierce enemy resistance. Two supporting tanks had already been destroyed. Another sat motionless, its commander and gunner gone.
Urban sprinted through a storm of enemy fire, climbed onto the tank, and exposed himself completely to enemy bullets. As rounds ricocheted around him, he manned the machine gun and personally led the attack forward.
The battalion followed.
Over the next weeks he was wounded again.
And again.
And again.
Each time he refused evacuation.
By August after his commander was killed, he was leading an entire battalion.
Then, on September 3, 1944, while personally leading an attack across open ground toward a heavily defended German strongpoint near the Meuse River, he was struck by a devastating neck wound that left him barely able to speak above a whisper.
Still he refused to leave the battlefield.
Only after the enemy position had been destroyed and the crossing secured would he allow himself to be evacuated.
Matt Urban would become one of the most decorated soldiers in American history.
His lengthy Medal Of Honor citation positively sings of what was aptly described as 'limitless bravery'.
When you read it, you're left with a simple conclusion:
There are brave men.
And then there are men of seemingly supernatural courage like Matt Urban.
Durante años he sostenido que solamente hay algo peor que Morena: la oposición mexicana. Una oposición tibia, desarticulada y muchas veces incapaz de defender las instituciones republicanas.
Sin embargo, esta semana ocurrió algo que me hizo reconciliarme, al menos por un momento, con la política opositora. Una simple camiseta terminó exhibiendo una realidad que muchos prefieren callar.
Mientras algunos legisladores portaban con orgullo camisetas de apoyo a la gobernadora de Chihuahua, apareció una propuesta incómoda: vestir una camiseta con la leyenda "Yo con Rocha Moya". Y entonces sucedió lo inesperado. Nadie quiso ponérsela. Ni Morena, ni sus aliados, ni quienes todos los días salen a defender al régimen. De pronto, el silencio habló más fuerte que cualquier discurso. Porque hay ocasiones en que una negativa revela mucho más que una declaración pública.
La política tiene momentos en los que una sola imagen desnuda una verdad completa. Si quienes lo respaldan públicamente se niegan a identificarse con él cuando llega la hora de hacerlo frente a las cámaras, la pregunta surge por sí sola: ¿qué saben que los ciudadanos no sabemos? A veces una camiseta vale más que mil discursos. Y esta vez, la oposición encontró una manera inteligente de exhibir una contradicción que quedó a la vista de todos.

21 years ago, I sat in a prison cell and learned I was pregnant.
Every sign pointed toward abortion. Every circumstance said this baby would never have a chance.
But I chose life.
I saw value in my daughter before anyone else could.
What I didn’t know was that her birth would help change laws in America. Fifteen years after I gave birth while chained to a hospital bed with a sheriff standing watch, that story reached the highest levels of government. And @POTUS granted me a full and unconditional pardon and signed legislation ending the shackling of women during childbirth in federal prisons.
Today, that same baby walked across the stage as a graduate of MIT.
From a prison birth to one of the most prestigious universities in the world.
Never let your circumstances determine someone’s worth.
There is value in life.
There is purpose in every child.
Go, baby. The world is yours. ❤️🎓

Thomas Sowell breaks down how most intellectuals think:
“The best definition I’ve heard is from Hayek—he says an intellectual is a ‘secondhand dealer in ideas.’”
“The vast majority of intellectuals don’t originate any ideas but they peddle ideas that other people have originated.”
“That gives them a great deal of freedom because ideas and words are so malleable. Reality is not malleable. So they can believe in all sorts of things which have no realistic possibility and which have failed time and again in history.”
“But because they know how to rephrase it and repackage it, they can just keep right on going.”
It’s actually possible California can be saved. It’s not a matter of whether Steve can win. He can, and he will. The real question is will he win by a large enough margin to beat the cheat. Democrats are going to cheat like never before, and Californians must VOTE to beat them.
