In this Monday's episode of Media Confidential Alan and Lionel are talking to NPR's media correspondent David Folkenflik about what is actually happening at American broadcaster CBS.They discuss the popularity of CBS's flagship show 60 Minutes and how a new leadership is trying to make changes at the programme.They'll talk about how Bari Weiss, editor-in-chief of CBS News, is getting along in her new role—and how staff are reacting to her new pick of Nick Bilton as 60 minutes executive producer.The three discuss the influence of David Ellison, CEO of Paramount Skydance, which owns the channel. Plus, Alan asks if the apparent internal ructions are down to ineptitude or trying to keep Donald Trump sweet...They also ask if David will be attending the re-run of the White House Correspondents dinner, which was cancelled (and Donald Trump evacuated) after a shooting...

Robert Channick, business reporter for the Chicago Tribune, joins Bob Sirott to talk about Ryan Baker’s departure from CBS and the arrival of “The Late Show” set at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago. He also discusses how operations are continuing at “60 Minutes,” including how Nick Bilton was hired as a consultant.

A 37-year 60 Minutes correspondent got fired in a conference room over a dinner he refused to attend. Scott Pelley lost his job and won the PR war in the same week, and the side that was supposed to be running the institution handed him the moral high ground in writing.Everyone is covering the firing. Molly is covering the two dueling statements, the word "performative" in a termination letter, and the moment CBS made it personal while Pelley kept it strictly business.Chapters:0:00  — The Cinnamon Gummy Bear and a Notification That Ended 37 Years3:30  — Bari Weiss, David Ellison and the Paramount Skydance Takeover7:00  — Tanya Simon Out, Nick Bilton In, and a 60 Minutes EP With No Broadcast Background10:30 — "She Is Murdering 60 Minutes" — The All-Staff Meeting Ambush15:00 — Reading the Bilton Termination Letter Line by Line20:00 — "It's Not Personal, It's Business" — The Godfather and You've Got Mail Move24:30 — Pelley's Statement, the 19 Minutes, and Why He Never Names Weiss or Bilton30:00 — The Trump Lawsuit, Brendan Carr and the Warner Bros Acquisition Motive34:00 — Bari Weiss's Leaked "Find a Way Back" CBS Morning Call38:00 — The Three Remaining Correspondents, Megyn Kelly's "Whiny" Callout and the Wednesday Podcast SwitchWe dissect:-The Paramount Skydance ownership change, David Ellison's fingerprints on every move, and why Bari Weiss arriving as editor-in-chief last October was the real start of the timeline-Nick Bilton's resume — British documentary filmmaker, ex-New York Times tech columnist, Elizabeth Holmes credits, zero broadcast journalism — and why that detail matters at the institution Mike Wallace built-The exact line Pelley fired across the room — "She's murdering 60 Minutes.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Scott Pelley's firing came after Bari Weiss dismissed several of his colleagues and hired a new “60 Minutes” boss, Nick Bilton, whom Pelley then clashed with in a staff meeting. Pelley, along with a number of other “60 Minutes” correspondents who were fired, have now accused Weiss of editorial interference and bias, charges that CBS News and Weiss deny. Also Broadway shows losing their appeal / Graham Platner's ex-girlfriend disappointed with her NY Times interview.

On Tuesday, 60 Minutes executive producer, Nick Bilton, fired the show's longtime correspondent Scott Pelley following a confrontation during a staff meeting in which Pelley criticized Bilton and CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss. Pelley's firing is the latest shakeup at the show and network since Weiss took the head role in October 2025; Pelley and other former correspondents have accused Weiss of interfering in editorial decisions in an attempt to cover the Trump administration in a more positive light.

Charles Manson famously said, “You can't kill me. I'm already dead.” I thought about that quote as the 60 Minutes scandal erupted, with a conversation between reporter Scott Pelley and newly hired producer Nick Bilton. From the NYT:“She is murdering ‘60 Minutes,'” [Scott Pelley] said. “She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she's been doing exactly that.”Mr. Pelley added: “She has no qualifications for her job; you have slender qualifications for this job. The changes that she's made at the ‘Evening News' have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?”Mr. Bilton responded: “Well, I will show you. That's what I have to say. That is my plan over the next two weeks. I'll be meeting with everyone. I'm very excited to meet with everyone, yourself included.”Needless to say, it didn't exactly go as planned. Several sanctimonious “don't you know who I am” statements later, Pelley was out. 60 Minutes isn't quite dead, but it is a relic of the past. In the 1990s, it was pulling in 20-30 million viewers. That dropped to 14-16 million in the 2000s. By the 2010s, it was down to 10-12 million. Now, just 9 million people tune in every week in a country of 340 million. Much of that is due to the changes in technology, but still. There is no doubt that 60 Minutes, like all of legacy media, is trapped inside the same bubble that thinks Jimmy Kimmel's nightly monologue is still relevant, believes the Oscars still represent the majority of moviegoers, and that the New York Times has its finger on the pulse of everyday America. Like so much of what we might call “resistance era culture,” there doesn't seem to be a place for 60 Minutes in our culture now, beyond being a propaganda tool for the Democrats, which explains why so many of them feel a profound sense of loss now that Bari Weiss was brought in to give them a refresh. Pelley's statement to call out the new management at 60 Minutes was the hissy fit heard round the world. The irony is that his statement is itself bad journalism. He throws around serious allegations without offering any concrete examples:Pelley has since talked to the New York Times to explain what he means by some of this, but even still, these are all examples of his own bias, one he can't see and refuses to admit even exists. Instead, he insists that 60 Minutes is now showing bias simply by representing the other point of view.In the interview, he explains how Bari Weiss wanted him to portray the other side of the story in the killing of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. He says he did not think she drove her car into the officer or that Pretti was in any way violent. While that doesn't mean they should have lost their lives, there is no question that they were at war with federal officers in a way we've never seen since the last Civil War. His bias was front and center at a speech in 2025, where his mass delusions about what this country has become were laid bare. This guy was willing to give Bari Weiss a chance, come on.Already a legend in his own mind, Pelley is writing his own legacy now as a self-made hero who stood up to the fascist regime.Here is Michael Moynihan: A Woketopia, if You Can Keep ItSome say 60 Minutes never recovered from its biggest scandal, when CBS Corporate forced the show to censor an interview with Big Tobacco whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand, as depicted in Michael Mann's brilliant film The Insider. The Hollywood of today would never make a movie like that unless it somehow blamed Trump and the Republicans. Not only wouldn't they make it, but they couldn't make it, no one inside the empire would allow it because, contrary to their own mass delusions, the fascism was always coming from inside the house — all sticks of wood bound together as one, where no dissent is allowed.I look around now, and I see relics of the old empire. They're frantic and wild-eyed. They're terrified that it all came crashing down. They don't know why America turned away. But I do. We never set out to build an empire. For us, it was riding the wave of new technology, new social media, a new computer in our pockets, and a brand new president to bring us into the promised land.It was not Donald Trump's fault that our empire collapsed. It was the old cliche about how power corrupts. We acquired too much of it. Every company, institution, celebrity, movie studio, publishing house, and ordinary person has a social media platform. If you controlled social media, you could control them. Our public humiliation factory kept everyone in line, lest they be “it” on social media.That was true even before Trump won, but the tweak to the algorithm in 2017, Donald Trump becoming president and ruling over Twitter at the same time, sent those of us inside the empire into waves of uncontrollable mass hysteria. Many of them would never come out of it and are still locked in the spell of the mass delusion that a “fascist dictator, racist, rapist, criminal, pedophile” won the election in America not once, but twice. Somebody had to be lying. Pelley simply can't tell the story the other way because he can't see it. He's still inside of it. I see them now, those who bought the dream like I did, befuddled as to what to do next. They just want their power back, their empire, their utopia. Use fear, that always works to drive lazy voters to the polls. Fear of what? Tax cuts for the rich? Fox News? No, fear of the big things, the existential things, like “fascism” and “democracy.”How do you even come back from that and make a pitch to the people that you should be put back in power to rule over a country you believe is under a Nazi occupation? How does Bruce Springsteen, Robert De Niro, Barbra Streisand, Katie Couric, Ellen DeGeneres, not to mention every single Democrat politician, come back from that?Maybe it's the effect of the internet on our brains, but the so-called “resistance” seems to have lost touch with the tangible reality of history, of what it looks like to fight real fascism. What Nazis really were. When you can make any reality you want, why wouldn't you?They are fine with the guy who has a Nazi tattoo because to them, that isn't real. Of course, leave it to Salena Zito to do the job of a real journalist and remind us:70-80 million people died in World War II fighting to save the world from a fascist dictator, a real one. How can these people live with themselves by spreading the lie that we are living through anything like that now? And that, more than anything, is why the empire collapsed. It was built on a foundation of delusions and lies. Bari Weiss and the Fourth TurningI have Bari Weiss to thank for starting this Substack. Very few people had the courage or the moxie to stand up to the Twitter mob back in 2020, but she did. I was on Twitter the night the mob came for her. The screeching scolds had already been nipping at her heels at the New York Times after she was brought in to shake up the ideological chokehold the Left had on the paper (and still does). They hated her, gossiped about her, shunned her, and yet, there she was, showing up anyway. She is built of stronger stuff than the kind of person who would ever crumple under the weight of the mob. Tom Cotton's essay, Send in the Troops, reflected the views of most Americans, that if the riots over the Summer could not be controlled, the military should be brought in. Their opinions did not matter to the mob or, apparently, to the New York Times. While 60 Minutes spent many stories on January 6th, they barely touched the riots in the Summer of 2020. They didn't talk about the false narrative of Jacob Blake in Kenosha. That was left to local reporters.They never told the other side of the story because no one did until Bari Weiss tried and was smacked down in a way that woke me up. It was like the lantern dropping out of the sky in The Truman Show. It punctured the delusion at long last, and I realized that I was not getting the truth from the legacy media. They were lying to us and gaslighting us because Trump had to lose the election, and nothing else could matter. But the truth still mattered to me. And it mattered to Bari Weiss. Eventually, she would launch a Substack revolution with The Free Press and urge others to follow her. And so I did. Weiss is a millennial, the generation that's to take the baton from the Baby Boomers, per the book, The Fourth Turning. You can see this unfolding everywhere, but perhaps nowhere as profoundly as with what happened at the Times and now at 60 Minutes.Here is how the Times' Lulu Garcia-Navarro's interview with Pelley went on how he came to know Bari Weiss:Um, yeah, sure pal. That sounds like padding for an upcoming lawsuit, not the truth. There is no way the Scott Pelley, who gave that speech at Wake Forest, is going to give someone hired by David Ellison “the benefit of the doubt.” That he had never even heard of Bari Weiss or had no idea any scandal had erupted at the Times over the Tom Cotton op-ed says it all. The Fourth Turning is like winter. The old must die to make way for the new. Trump didn't collapse the empire on his own, but he's a “Gray Champion” all the same. The one Baby Boomer who could tear it all down to make way for the millennials, like Bari Weiss, to reshape the future for the generations to come.MAGAIn 2020, I escaped the Doomsday Cult our empire had become and was searching for signs of life, for truth, for something that felt real. I began driving across the country and saw an America that people like me had forgotten even existed. It wasn't a virtual world where we make our own reality. It was a tangible place, with things people built with their own hands. It was farms, churches, town squares, neighborhoods, highways, and factories. What we built online had no place for this America. If you never understand that, you'll never understand MAGA. From the hills, the backyards, and the fields, one name called out from this forgotten America: Trump.Even now, in 2026, these signs still stand. Not just in one state, in nearly every state. Trump is not in power because he's a fascist. He's in power because we, the people, put him there to fight for us against the mighty empire that was like a black hole, sucking all of American society into it.Anyone who thinks Bari Weiss would do Donald Trump's bidding at CBS News is living in a fantasy. They don't know her, they don't know him, and they most certainly do not know this country anymore. It doesn't seem like it's asking too much for guys like Scott Pelley to snap out of it at long last and to realize this is a big country with lots of different kinds of people in it. And all of them have the same right to representation. If the culture stopped speaking to them and the government stopped representing them, well, it's all over but the shouting.// This is a public episode.

How did a program that is still profitable, still watched, and still regarded as one of the great institutions of American journalism end up in open internal war? And how do Bari Weiss, Nick Bilton, the Paramount/Skydance and Paramount/WBD merger, the Trump administration, and FCC scrutiny together shape the power structure behind this crisis? We also look back at the history of 60 Minutes: how Don Hewitt brought magazine-style storytelling, star correspondents, and a Hollywood sense of drama into television news; how the show became a myth of American TV journalism; and how it shaped Chinese audiences' imagination of foreign media and investigative reporting. We also ask how much longer this model of television news can survive in the age of streaming, algorithms, and AI.

In today's edition of The Update Journal, we say goodbye to the old Dunkin' $6 Meal Deal — because apparently breakfast had a working-class era and corporate decided it was time for layoffs. For a brief, beautiful moment, six dollars could get you fed, caffeinated, and emotionally prepared to face society. Now? We gather around the hash browns, lower the flag to half-croissant, and remember when breakfast had a budget and dignity came with a wake-up wrap.Then, A Closer Look heads into the drama over at 60 Minutes, where Scott Pelley reportedly confronted the show's new executive producer, Nick Bilton, during a staff meeting. And listen — when Scott Pelley is the one bringing the heat, you know something has gone terribly wrong, because this is not a man built for nonsense. This is a man who looks like he fact-checks his own dreams. Reportedly confronting the boss in a staff meeting? That's not workplace tension. That's “the group chat is going to be unbearable by lunch” energy.And today's Honorable Mention takes us into the future of teen romance, where some boys are choosing AI girlfriends over real-life relationships — with experts warning that the consequences could be disastrous. Because apparently dating has gotten so exhausting that some people said, “You know what would make this easier? Removing the human.” Nothing says healthy emotional development like forming a deep connection with an app that remembers your birthday because a server farm told it to. We used to worry about teens not going outside. Now we have to worry that their first breakup is going to come with a software update.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, a prediction market reported former U.S. Rep. George Santos to federal prosecutors after he boasted he'd be going to President Trump's State of the Union address, then bet against his own attendance, according to a person familiar with the investigation.A stranger stabbed a 42-year-old man during an early Wednesday clash just blocks from Times Square, police said. The victim was knifed once in the chest just after 2 a.m. outside a building on West 42nd Street near Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, a storefront shared by a Chinese restaurant and a pizzeria, cops said. And out in the American West, a man was shot and killed by the FBI after taking 10 school employees hostage inside a Southern California office building and warning that he had strapped explosives to himself and some of the hostages, police said.

Send us Fan MailAngelo, Rhea, and Jay are back — and this week there are three numbers that have shaken Hollywood to its core: $81 million, $100 million, and $52 million. That's what three YouTube kids just grossed at the box office... a 20-year-old with Backrooms, a 26-year-old who turned $750K into Obsession's biggest second-weekend spike in modern box office history, and Markiplier, who walked out of a gaming channel and grossed $52 million on $3 million. The film school brats gave us Scorsese and Coppola. The VHS kids gave us Tarantino and Rodriguez. Is this the YouTube generation?THEN: Scott Pelley walked into a meeting and told his new boss, Nick Bilton, to his face that Bilton and Bari Weiss are "murdering 60 Minutes" to placate Donald Trump. CBS is still waiting on federal approval for the Paramount/Warner Brothers merger, Bilton has zero broadcast background, and Pelley just lit a match on his own legacy.

Scott Pelley just got fired from CBS News and 60 Minutes "for cause" after publicly ambushing new executive producer Nick Bilton at an all-hands meeting. Bilton's termination letter is savage — and Pelley's pompous response trying to blame Donald Trump and Barry Weiss makes it even better. His Wake Forest commencement speech from last year might be the most Ron Burgundy thing you've ever seen.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) We wrap a number of major primary elections across the country. Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra surged to the top of California’s crowded gubernatorial primary, with billionaire Tom Steyer trailing in the contest. In Los Angeles mayor's race, incumbent Karen Bass has been forced into a runoff and could face Republican Spencer Pratt, who is leading second place. In a New Jersey House district which could prove key for Republicans holding their majority in November, former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett is projected to win the Democratic primary. 2) US forces intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones aimed at neighboring Middle East countries and struck a command center in Iran in response. The exchange followed days of Israeli military escalation against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, prompting a phone call between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Tensions remain high after the US attacked Iranian radar and command-and-control sites, with Iran trying to target an air base in retaliation and the US and Israel having different ideas about what an end to the war should look like.3) The US is proposing a new tariff of at least 10% on imports from 60 trading partners, following an investigation into how trade partners handle goods allegedly produced by forced labor. A 10% tariff rate would apply to imports from Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Taiwan and the UK, among other places, while products from other major economies, including China, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil and Switzerland, would be subject to a 12.5% levy. The levies won't go into effect immediately and are subject to a public comment and review period before implementation, which could result in changes before any duties are codified, with written comments due by July 6 and public hearings beginning on July 7.4) CBS News fired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley after he confronted his new boss at an internal meeting on Monday. Pelley had questioned the qualifications of Nick Bilton, who was appointed to lead the CBS newsmagazine, and accused CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of “murdering” the program. Pelley said the leadership of 60 Minutes is "no longer recognizable" and that the principles he holds dear are gone, which is why he must leave.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tigran Gambaryan⁠ spent 8 months in grueling conditions in a Nigerian prison. But that's not what made him famous.Episode 52 of Beyond the Code dives into Tigran's incredible journey. For those of you who don't know, Tigran started off as an IRS special agent, where he used a simple Excel spreadsheet to reverse engineer the Bitcoin blockchain and track major crypto criminals such as those responsible for the Mt. Gox hack, Welcome to Video, Alpha Bay and Silk Road —earning him the nickname, “the man who broke Bitcoin”. After a decade in Government law enforcement, Tigran took up a pivotal role at Binance leading their financial crimes unit and fostering global regulatory ties. Tigran's story is one of innovation and grit, as chronicled in Andy Greenberg's Tracers in the Dark. But things took a turn for the worse for Tigran when he made a trip to Nigeria last February and what was supposed to be a simple training session spiraled into detention, interrogation, and bribes and imprisonment, exposing systemic corruption. After 8 grueling months in Nigeria's Kuje prison, through media pressure and U.S. diplomatic efforts, Tigran's release was finally secured and thankfully he is now home with his family. Links to videos and articles:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Caa4X7GqTkQ https://www.wired.com/story/tigran-gambaryan-us-congress-resolution-hostage-nigeria/https://fmino.gov.ng/disregard-falsehoods-being-peddled-by-tigran-gambaryan-against-nigerian-government-officials-fg/https://www.wired.com/story/tigran-gambaryan-us-congress-resolution-hostage-nigeria/https://www.cryptotimes.io/2025/02/14/nigeria-used-binance-as-scapegoat-wanted-150-million-bribe-tigran-gambaryan/ https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1832182160918503643 For those interested, you can buy Andy Greenberg's book, Tracers in the Dark, on Amazon: https://a.co/d/3umNV17If you want to do it right (chronologically), start with Nick Bilton's book, American Kingpin (https://a.co/d/hTRVY2C), which tells the story of Ross Ulbricht and the Silk Road.

There was a time, not long ago, in which most people might have scoffed at the idea that Elon Musk, an entrepreneur with aspirations to save the world from climate change, would become a right-wing folk hero. And yet, that's precisely the transformation he underwent this year. The billionaire CEO of Tesla—now known for his ardent support of Donald Trump and his endless philippics against the “woke mind virus”—has become a major power player in the MAGAverse, and is set to head up a new initiative in Trump's second administration, so called the "Department of Government Efficiency." In the latest episode of Inside the Hive, VF special correspondent Nick Bilton and New York Times tech reporter Kate Conger unpack what brought Musk into the MAGAverse, how he plans to gut the regulatory state under Trump, and why the duo's ego-fueled bromance may be destined to blow up. “I think we are on a collision course of personalities with these two,” Conger predicts. “[Musk is] going to want complete control...and I don't think Trump is going to be willing to give him that."

Episode 39 Unthreading the Silk Road: A Conversation With Author Nick Bilton A marketplace of drugs, guns and murder for hire. Journalist and author Nick Bilton explored the illicit web-based market the Silk Road in his page-turner, American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road. In this engaging episode, he joins host Matt Adams to dig into how he conceptualized, researched and wrote this book. They also forecast where internet-based crimes are potentially headed thanks to artificial intelligence. Nick and Matt's conversation takes listeners back in time to the early 2000s—the early days of internet-based crime—and provides a legal and practical perspective on how federal agencies altered their tried-and-true processes to confront and catch criminals committing crimes via the web. The episode also explores how the acceptance of responsibility—or lack thereof—by a defendant can affect sentencing decisions.

If you've ever wondered why there are so many annoying people on Twitter, you've got Tumblr to thank for that. Tumblr, the microblogging site that reigned supreme in the 2010s, was like Facebook's cool cousin who has blue hair and goes to art school. It was the cradle of identity formation for lonely teens and adults, and it was also a happy home to lots and lots of porn. Tumblr's NSFW content made it a search-engine-friendly way to consume porn without your mom finding out. But its alternative edge made it an easy victim to much more powerful companies - which is why, in this episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the Tumblr porn ban and its consequences on society. Tangents including but not limited to: the “free nipples for sale” movement, Hannah's Addison Rae addiction, and Maia's misanthropic middle school blog: “Who the Poo Cares”.  Hannah's Tumblr: https://acidrain-e.tumblr.com/ Maia's Tumblr: https://takemybadge.tumblr.com/ Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic Leah Collins, “How Tumblr went from a $1 billion Yahoo payday to a $3 million fire sale.” CNBC (2022). https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/15/how-tumblr-went-from-1-billion-yahoo-payday-to-3-million-fire-sale.html Josh Holiday “David Karp, founder of Tumblr, on realizing his dream” The Guardian (2012). https://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/jan/29/tumblr-david-karp-interview Michael J. de la Merced, Nick Bilton and Nicole Perlroth “Yahoo to Buy Tumblr for $1.1 Billion.” The New York Times (2013) .https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/20/technology/yahoo-to-buy-tumblr-for-1-1-billion.html Allison McCrcken, Alexander Cho, Louisa Stein, Indira Neill Hoch “You Must Be New Here: An Introduction” a tumblr book: platform and culture, Chapter 1, (2020).

By 2012, undercover DEA agents had cracked holes in an underground criminal conspiracy. It was the “Amazon.com of Drugs” – the Silk Road. But to take down its shadowy founder, they'd have to team up with a surprising number of federal agencies – and go to criminal lengths themselves.

“The QUESTION CIRCULATING around Silicon Valley isn't if such a scenario is worth it, even with a 1 PERCENT CHANCE OF ANNIHILATION,” writes Nick Bilton in Vanity Fair, “but rather, if it is really such a bad thing if we build a machine that CHANGES HUMAN LIFE AS WE KNOW IT.” Bilton joins us to share his research on Artificial Intelligence and its implications for politics and society.

In the short but long weeks since Elon Musk took over Twitter, it seems like the platform, along with the social media class, has been put through the spin cycle. Between debates over who could be verified and how much that might cost, employee layoffs, and, of course, the lingering question of whether and when Donald Trump might be replatformed, there have been many questions about the fate of Twitter.    Vanity Fair's Nick Bilton, who literally wrote the book on Twitter, joins this week's episode of Inside the Hive, taking listeners inside his notebook to lay out the problems that Twitter faces as both a company and a barometer of the mindset of the country.    “Jack Dorsey and all the folks at Twitter used to say that Twitter is a reflection of society,” Bilton tells ITH listeners. “I think that it is a reflection of the extremes in society, and it brings out the best and, a lot more times, the worst in people because of the way it is designed.” What will happen to the platform given the political atmosphere, and can it help propel someone into the White House—or keep them out?

This week, Vanity Fair tech correspondent Nick Bilton speaks with cohost Joe Hagan about the recent leaks from Facebook that reveal the company knew of the toxic impact of their platforms, including Instagram, on users, especially teenage girls. In a world in which the social media giants—FAANG, or Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google—are too rich and powerful to be contained by limp political and regulatory systems, “we're left to the wolves,” says Bilton. After covering the social media world for a decade, Bilton says the only way to beat the media giants is to hack the system—ourselves—by reprogramming our behaviors, which are the literal coins of the social media realm.

The story of Bitcoin starts to get a lot spicier! After looking last time at some of the unsung heroes who were so pivotal in Bitcoin's early days, it's time to gauge the impact of some rather more controversial characters.  To many, Bitcoin is still synonymous with hacking, scandal and crime - perceptions that are hard to shift. Much of this bad press is down to two ill-fated projects that wereinspired by Bitcoin but ultimately ended up staining its reputation.  So, in this episode, we take a look at the sorry tale of the Mt Gox exchange and the even darker story of the Silk Road marketplace. For a long time, Mt Gox was the place to buy bitcoins and Silk Road was the place to spend them. The rise and fall of both are stories that still haunt the crypto space to this day. Understanding the role both played in the story of Bitcoin - and vice versa - helps make sense of a lot of today's cryptocurrency landscape.  The stories of Mt Gox and Silk Road are rich in detail, so if you want to dig further into what happened in both cases, the following resources may be of use: Books: American Kingpin (2017) by Nick Bilton (all about Ross Ulbricht and Silk Road) Bitcoin: The Future of Money?
