This after he admitted to lying to get ratings and popularity.

“I was paid in the past for my opinions, that’s clear, and one day I’ll be back in that space,” Bongino declared. “But that’s not what I’m paid for now. I’m paid to be your deputy director, and we base investigations on facts.”

Not really taking a position here, but when he says he was paid for his opinions, was he not meaning he was earning income by giving his opinions on air? Not that someone was paying him to have a specific opinion?

Not sure, but who would think he was working 5 hours a day for free?

I can only imagine that he was saying that he was paid for having certain opinions.

I could be wrong and I hope I am....but I don't think I am.

Whether one is running a podcast, radio, or tv show, one is being paid to give their opinion or knowledge through advertising or subscription by listeners. That’s not to say that one couldn’t accept money to represent a specific opinion or position as their own, but he seems to be juxtaposing his previous career with his new positiok in government. There’s a more simple meaning than the malicious admission that you’re attributing to his words.

It's very clear he was making a distinction between hosting a show that people watched to hear his interpretation of events (opinions) vs being paid as the deputy director of the FBI based on his ability to prove things (facts).

There is nothing negative about that, not sure why you would read into it more.

That’s not what he’s saying at all. Are all opinion writers and columnists liars? They get paid to provide their opinions.

What a slimy and dishonest point to try and make.

That’s not what he means.
He means he was paid to give his opinion, not paid to have a particular opinion.
