Why We Must Eat The Rich Immediately

A very worthy recipient of today's Two Minutes Hate, more Silicon Valley scum:

Sarah Rumpf / Mediaite:

Nicole Shanahan, ex-wife of Google's Sergey Brin and a rising MAGA star, allegedly offered WaPo reporters writing a profile piece on her $500K to reveal sources  —  Nicole Shanahan has been “tapping a vast divorce settlement” from Google co-founder Sergey Brin to launch herself …

Dominick Mastrangelo / The Hill:   Nicole Shanahan offered $500K to Washington Post reporter to share sources, be a ‘whistleblower’

Glenn Thrush / @glennthrush:   Jaw dropping

Elizabeth Dwoskin / @lizzadwoskin:   The bribe offer is just the tip of the iceberg

Elizabeth Dwoskin / @lizzadwoskin:   One of the stranger things that has happened to me in my journalistic career.

Jennifer Carole / @jcarole:   @lizzadwoskin @MollyJongFast Damn integrity. The plague of so many. Alas, I too would have demurred.

Ashley Parker / @ashleyrparker:   When we began reporting on Nicole Shanahan, she offered us $500,000 to be “whistleblowers” and share our sources. We declined — but kept reporting our profile. W @lizzadwoskin, @MerylKornfield + @aaronjschaffer: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

Nu Wexler / @wexler:   Definitely would NOT recommend this media relations tactic https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... [image]

Peter Kafka / @pkafka:   Everyone says the business model for journalism is screwed. But there are plenty of opportunities to make money if you're willing to be creative and ethically flexible.

Christopher Ingraham / @_cingraham:   Wow. Does kind of make you wonder about typical business practices in Silicon Valley and elsewhere.

Jack Shafer / @jackshafer:   “Shanahan said she would ‘pay your friend’ — The Post reporter — ‘half a million dollars to be a whistleblower’ to expose people Shanahan claimed were spreading false information about her.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

These people are evil & must die be imprisoned for life. There are no two ways about it. As a disease vector if nothing else. And not to be trusted, either.

The article is full of juicy details about Shanahan’s whirlwind romance with Brin — reportedly begun after they met while she was engaged to her first husband, Jeremy Kranz, who “soon discovered the affair” and “sought to have the marriage annulled after only 27 days” — a volatile relationship that sparked divisions with Brin’s family and professional colleagues and then collapsed in scandal amid a Wall Street Journal report she had an affair with Brin’s longtime friend Elon Musk.

Can't these billionaire losers find attractive or intelligent women?

... many of Shanahan’s former Silicon Valley associates are now concerned she will use the massive pile of money she got in her divorce settlement with Brin to [...] "push unverified medical views to a broad audience.”

Yes, one of those who think they know more than medical science. And it certainly would be irresponsible not to speculate as to whether it was her money or her, shall we say, charms, that got her the RFK Jr. vice presidency.
Why not both, right?
