What a disgusting spectacle of sycophancy! Plus, it would become Dolly Parton to refuse Bozo's largesse, as she had induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Blood money from the little space cadet (and Cecil Turtle lookalike) kinda obviates the point of philanthropy, and valorizes a dick.

I am an unapologetic Dolly Parton stan but between that awful 5-9 squarespace commercial and now this shit...the faith wavers. Just hoping she puts it to good use. And while I can’t fault her for accepting the money her recent proximity to otherwise loathsome concepts/individuals has been rough to stomach.

Wonder if the edict came from the new ownership (John Malone) to throw Bezos a line. That John Malone who held up Fox News as a good model of “journalism”. Because I can’t think of any other reason to interview Bezos.

Wow, I read the 2nd and 3rd and thought Jeff Bezos threw money at Dolly Parton for her to interview him on CNN, and my reaction was, "Well, these celebrity-on-celebrity interviews are usually pretty awful, and I don't expect hard-hitting journalism from Dolly Parton." But now I'd like to see that more than the thing that actually happened!
