NEW YORK — CBS says Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg will appear in his first television interview since the feature film about him and the creation of his company premiered this fall. His interview will air Sunday on "60 Minutes."

The network said Wednesday that Zuckerberg will talk about "The Social Network," which featured a dark portrayal of him by Jesse Eisenberg, as well as the direction he's taking his company and his status as one of America's most influential figures.

The interview is conducted by Lesley Stahl.

The media is now building the new persona of the emperor of the Internet. We are being groom to like our new master for his wonderful qualities.

Watch for the accolades from the sychophants about the new emperor's amazingness.

Let's not forget that this admitted thief, with his civil profiling tool masquerading as a social network is actually posing one of the biggest threats to personal privacy in the history of mankind.

very well said. i wonder where the media reporting is on that lawsuit in which a guy claims to own a large chunk of facebook? (up to 80%) oh thats right, the govt buried it, and the medias not reporting it. like in the court hearing where they asked zuck was it his signature on the contract - and he couldnt respond.

oh well, he's in the 'club' now, and lives by different rules.

funny thing, he doesn't even have a profile on his own site. su ckers.

I am sure we will be amazed at how his lack of social skills will be displayed. He just likes the spotlight and his bank account loves it too.

It should be interesting to hear what he has to say about the future of FB. He is really getting the most out of all the publicity. mainstreethost
