E2 Bill Ackman and I Call Out Visa For Doing Business With Pornhub - Laila Mickelwait Laila Mickelwait · 2 August 2022 Own record
“Billionaire activist investor Bill Ackman and I had a full 17 minutes on CNBC’s Squawk Box morning show, where together we called out Visa’s CEO for Visa’s ongoing relationship with Pornhub.”
Reasoning
The evidence shows Ackman appeared on CNBC on 2 August 2022 and discussed Visa and Pornhub [E1][E2], but neither item gives the time of the appearance beyond calling it a morning show [E2]. Under the criteria, that is not enough to tell whether it was at or about 8:20am ET (true) or at a noticeably different time (mostly true).
