This much is clear. CBS is being âmurdered,â as Scott Pelley calls whatâs happening, not because of economics but because of politics. Economically, â60 Minutesâ is a gold mine. Politically, Trump thinks itâs dangerous as hell because it tells the truth about him and his regime, and wants it killed. Itâs important to see all this as a systematic effort by Trump to silence the truth about what heâs doing to America.
Trumpâs increasingly corruption â rife with crony capitalism, corporate welfare, and payoffs to the powerful â is producing an increasingly corrupt economy in which everything depends on bribes and personal deals made by the biggest Republican loyalists and grifters, oligarchs and plutocrats, billionaires and multibillionaires, and monopolists.
When political and economic deal-making become personal transactions â when greed and payoffs replace trust â what happens? Authoritarianism replaces democracy. And an economy collapses, as it did at the end of Americaâs first Gilded Age, in the Great Crash of 1929, leading to the Great Depression.
One day we will look back on the murder of â60 Minutesâ as one of the travesties of Trumpâs despicable reign.
In the meantime, thank you Scott Pelley for telling the truth. Thank you, former â60 Minutesâ producers, correspondents, and staff, for telling the truth.
And now, what do we do in the interest of the truth? We boycott CBS.
