One of the finest investigative journalists of our times, a veteran of CBS news foibles himself, has posted a definitive explainer -- with deep context -- of the "60 Minutes" takedown by "oligarch functionary" Bari Weiss.

@dangillmor it’s crazy how the Gaza genocide aligned politically with immigration in the US. The only common factor I see is race..
"Weiss simply has no idea what it took to report this story, and even less about the value of what her reporter delivered. Ellison would not have installed someone who did."
Good - and damning - quote.
@funcrunch @dangillmor Also: "[Weiss] is 100 percent right that public trust in mainstream media has vanished, but she will only ever reproduce the failures of credulous, lazy and ignorant elite journalism that prompted rigorous people's loss of trust. [...] that’s why she has her job."
@dangillmor Good article, except that he called the story that most of us have seen by now a "leaked version". It wasn't leaked, it aired on Canadian television and people recorded it.
