Took my 11-year-old daughter to a checkup today.
The nurse asked me to step out of the room.
I politely said no.
She said, "It's only for a moment."
I replied:
"My husband and I don't leave our children alone with anyone, including medical providers. Anything you need to say can be said with me here."
She looked annoyed and left.
The part that stuck with me?
As soon as she walked out, my daughter thanked me for staying.
Her eyes got huge the moment the nurse asked me to leave.
Maybe I'm overprotective.
But I'd rather be present and unnecessary than absent and regret it.
Larry Ellison acaba de hacer la única pregunta que ningún periodista en la Tierra puede responder.
Un periodista del Wall Street Journal le dijo a la cara a Larry Ellison que Elon Musk no sabe lo que hace.
Ellison solo le hizo una pregunta.
Ellison:
“Este tipo aterriza cohetes sobre plataformas robóticas en medio del océano… ¿y tú dices que no sabe lo que hace? ¿Alguna vez has aterrizado un cohete?”
“¿Quién eres tú? ¿Por qué debería creerte a ti antes que a mi amigo Elon?”
Esta es la pregunta que toda la clase mediática lleva una década esquivando:
¿Quién eres tú para juzgar?
¿Qué has construido?
¿Qué has lanzado?
¿Qué problema has resuelto que no implique un teclado y una fecha límite?
Ellison:
“Ahí estás tú, delante de tu Apple Macintosh, escribiendo un artículo diciendo que Elon es un idiota.”
Se sientan detrás de un portátil que no diseñaron.
Usan una red que no construyeron.
Funcionando sobre chips de silicio que ni siquiera pueden explicar.
Para decirle al mundo que el hombre que envía humanos al espacio no sabe lo que hace.
Nunca han construido nada más pesado que un documento de Word.
Y aun así lo publican con absoluta certeza.
Eso es lo que debería inquietarte.
No la crítica.
Sino la confianza con la que la hacen.
La ausencia total de autoconciencia necesaria para juzgar disciplinas en las que no durarían ni un semestre.
Musk no opera en opiniones.
Opera en la capa física del universo, donde las matemáticas funcionan… o el cohete no regresa.
Sus críticos operan en un editor de texto.
Construyó el vehículo que transporta astronautas de la NASA a la Estación Espacial Internacional.
La constelación de satélites que lleva internet a zonas de guerra activas.
El coche eléctrico que obligó a todos los fabricantes del planeta a abandonar sus planes basados en motores de combustión.
Sus críticos más ruidosos construyeron una firma al final de un artículo.
Entonces… ¿por qué tanto odio coordinado?
Porque perdieron la correa.
Los ataques no aumentaron porque Musk empeorara como ingeniero.
Aumentaron porque compró X.
Abrió el algoritmo.
Le devolvió la plaza pública a la gente.
Y destruyó su capacidad de controlar lo que puedes pensar.
No odian al ingeniero.
Odian que el ingeniero les quitó el monopolio.
No puedes cancelar un cohete.
No puedes publicar un artículo contra la gravedad.
No puedes editar las leyes de la física.
Ellos controlan la narrativa.
Él controla la física.
Y uno de los dos va camino a Marte.
Sayonara Scott Pelley, you were never much of an unbiased reporter, however, you are a Class A scumbag. Your dissemination of political propaganda is nothing short of treason. Why don’t you do the entire populace a favor and take that washed up hag Leslie Stahl with you.
Scott Pelley, the leftist Democrat tool, being fired is the best thing to ever happen in USA media. We are winning over the culture. Democrats and fake news are being exposed. Hide and watch, libtards . Do Jake Tapper next !
Rachel Maddow is mentally ill. Everything she says is a fascist lie. She needs to be institutionalized. I hope Hungarians sue her.

@JoelValdezDOW It takes a remarkable lack of self-awareness for her to post that, considering she was part of an administration whose Department of Defense oversaw the lowest military recruitment numbers since Vietnam.
Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”
Dear legacy media journalists:
In light of your Scott Pelley lunatic antics; apparently, you all need a reality refresher. So as a public service to your cratering brand, here you go:
1- You do not run the company that employs you. The executive management runs the company, subject to oversight by the owners and/or the stockholders. You are not part of that oversight process.
2- The company that employees you does not owe you an explanation of everything they do, especially with regard to personnel matters. In fact, your own legal / HR department will tell you it is problematic to discuss personnel decisions beyond a need-to-know basis.
3- People don't care who reports the story - they care about the quality of the story. Reading a teleprompter put together by the production team that did the story isn't the galactic-level skill you may think it is.
4- This one should be obvious, but when journalists are the story versus reporting the story, you all failed.
5- When you run a story that is critical of an individual, administration, or institution; allowing the subject of the story to comment ahead of time is not "injecting political bias into the story." It's Journalism 101, which apparently is no longer taught in Journalism 101.
6- We really don't care what a "former producer" or a "former correspondent" thinks about anything. There's often a good reason they are a "former" something, and that reason usually undercuts their credibility.
7- This one also seems obvious, but you're subject to - and only subject to - the same employment laws that affect everyone else in every other business. When the First Amendment was written, the "press" referred to the printing press, not some special class of citizenry that is exempt from laws that affect everyone else.
8- When you have a show that suffered one of the worst scandals in journalism history - revolving around the literal forging of fake memos - don't tell us it's a gold standard that never had a blemish in its history. You just look dumb when you do that.
You're welcome.
One of the worst Scott Pelley segments was when he featured Paul Ehrlich to warn that the planet was heading for extinction. This was in *2023.* Journalist Pelley never mentioned that Ehrlich had gone 0-for-30 in world-is-ending prediction racket over the previous 50 years.
🚨 NEW: Greg Gutfeld SLAMS fired CBS host Scott Pelley as a “self-serious weasel,” adding “every time he speaks it’s as though it has some ‘historical urgency’.”
“60 Minutes doesn’t exist as some lone bright beacon in the wilderness. A 24 year-old guy named Nick Shirley ran 100 laps around 60 Minutes on a big story they missed!”
“Look at @nickshirleyy, @christopherrufo, @BillMelugin_ and it reveals how far 60 Minutes has fallen. They’ve done no real investigative pieces. And all the mistakes they’ve made! Remember Lesley Stahl on the laptop, denying it was real, or Pelley himself blaming Biden’s infirmity on a stutter?! These guys are idiots. Goodbye.” adds @greggutfeld.
