Why betrayed? Did you know him personally? Are you friends?

Fault is on the people. First for getting scientific info from someone who isn't a scientist. Second for letting the TV raise their kids. And finally, for not understanding the difference between an actor and invented persona and the real world.

Bill Nye is a performer, he owns nothing to anyone and is very likely pandering because he thinks it will bring him money. Once he see it is otherwise, he will probably backtrack himself a little.

The loser here is him, who is alienating part of his viewers with content that is presented with such bad quality. I can deal with controversial, but objectively, it is a piece of crap on the production side. For the viewers, it is as easier as change the channel.

Why do you guys care so much about a children show actor?

you're not supposed to think about it. you're supposed to ignore it completely and prepare a crippling defense against attackers

he's been a nobody for most of his life until 2010's meme brought back his shitty old show.

now he's just trying to earn his retirement funds. he knows this is his one shot and he's making the most of it. can't blame him.

actually might be better that he's accelerating the death of liberalism in the west.

Nope. Never cared for him and now it just reinforces his douche-baggery.

I watched him when I was younger, but I didn't really like his show, and I didn't really like him. That never changed. I never liked the guy, and as I spent more time in science I couldn't figure out why he seemed to be key, especially in the whole global warming nonsense.

So, I don't feel betrayed. I can understand why you, and maybe other do, but I feel vindicated in a way; that he was a screwball, but I didn't have evidence, but now...

Why? He's just an actor reading lines. Did you feel betrayed when Mark Hamill played Phineas Tiberius Mindslap instead of Luke Skywalker?

Why would you ever put enough faith into any TV personality that you would feel betrayed when they don't meet your expectations.

Bill Nye does what is good for Bill Nye just like everyone else. Face it, if someone tossed millions at you to stoke the egos of the mentally ill wouldn't you do it?
