Master baker tier. Every paragraph earns its place on the tray.
Summary
A highly inflammatory and opinionated article attacking Nick Bilton, the new executive producer of 60 Minutes, for allegedly being humiliated during his first all-hands meeting with staff. The piece describes Bilton as unqualified and claims longtime correspondent Scott Pelley challenged him publicly. The article is written in an aggressive, mocking tone and appears to be a satirical or opinion piece rather than factual news reporting.
