He’s saying “I was paid to hold the opinions I espoused.” He didn’t speak them in good faith and didn’t come by them honestly. I think your comment is being seen as a distinction without a difference.
no, it’s not clear he’s saying he was paid to have those opinions, only that his job then was to share opinions, but his job now, according to him is to find facts. I’m no fan of bongino, but I’m really big on intellectual honesty.
Yeah I mean that seems to be what he’s saying to me. Do I think he was lying before? Yes. Do I think he’s lying now? Also yes. But I don’t think he’s admitting to lying.
I mean, is he saying he was lying though? Saying “I was paid for my opinions” is kind of a stretch to “I was lying.”
