Description:

Ozy Media CEO Carlos Watson speaks out, addressing numerous reports of mistruths that have led to his company’s demise. Confronted with misleading claims in his own company’s pitch deck and a review of texting exchanges between himself and Andrew Ross Sorkin, Watson defends the company’s history and discusses his own leadership. He addresses the allegations of inflated viewer metrics, his COO’s impersonation of a YouTube executive on an investor call with Goldman Sachs, and suggestions that his staff was misled about their work’s exposure and impact. In a lively interview, Watson assures Joe, Becky, and Andrew that Ozy Media will continue operations, and takes on the NYT media reporter who broke the story  first, Ben Smith.
