Bari Weiss is absolutely despicable

[Takket]

You know I had heard that she sent a letter out to CBS News about needing to win back public trust. But only just now having read a snippet of it do I realize how awful she is.

Here’s a piece:

To win back their trust, we have to work hard. Sometimes that means doing more legwork. Sometimes it means telling unexpected stories. Sometimes it means training our attention on topics that have been overlooked or misconstrued. And sometimes it means holding a piece about an important subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair.

Can you believe her???? “More legwork”??? Can you imagine this idiot with no experience running a newsroom walks into your studio. She kills a story critical of the administration. And not only does she do that but when she does so, she implies that you are LAZY??? That you did a bad job researching and investigating??? That you should have done more “legwork”.

Weiss is downright evil.

1. The old fair and balanced argument

Weiss thinks truth and honesty get too much airplay, so now it’s other side’s turn.

3. Equal time for Reality and

what some asshole calls a "hoax"

[yaesu]

2. I haven't watched CBS crap since they got rid of Dan, been decades, they are in fox goptv mode now

That network is done, kaput, down the toilet.

[Rebl2]

14. Haven't

watched cbs national news in years. I wasn’t even a big fan of Dan Rather, but am more so now. I liked Walter Cronkite and watched him.

[SunSeeker]

4. Bari Weiss should be hauled in front of Congress to explain herself.

She needs to specify exactly what part of the story was so not "comprehensive and fair" that she ordered the whole story yanked off air just hours before airtime, for the first time in 60 Minutes history.

[MyOwnPeace]

15. Waste of time there.......

the majority of both bodies know exactly why she did what she did. Hell, some of those bobblethroats might even want to give her some worthless medal!

[SunSeeker]

21. No it's not. Nobody is giving her a medal. She needs to be forced to justify her claims.

We can't keep letting these conservative media heads get away with making "fairness" pronouncements to cover up for their obedience to Trump's unconstitutional demands. We can't keep letting Trump decide what gets aired in the US. Our freedom depends on it.

She needs to be brought before the American people for her complicity in Trump's efforts to destroy the 1st Amendment.

Granted, we don't have the majority in either house, but that should change soon, especially if we don't display the defeatist attitude you are suggesting.

All of these media heads need to be hauled before the House once Jeffries is Speaker.

[MyOwnPeace]

25. I certainly agree - she should be held accountable.....

but THIS congress won’t do it! If anything, they, and at tRump’s suggestion, the DOJ will investigate what Democrats should be held responsible for that show not airing.

5. Corporate ownership pays media influencers like Weiss to overlook and misconstrue facts.

[OldBaldy1701E]

32. Bingo! (n/t)

[SocialDemocrat61]

6. She is the

Leni Riefenstahl of the 21st century.

[Dulcinea]

7. She should have been fired immediately or resigned.

But since she's not a journalist, she has no concept of journalistic ethics. She's just a two-bit hack who used to run a blog. I predict this won't end well for her. She got a job well above her talents & abilities by kissing up to billionaires & will pay the price eventually. Do you think Ellison will take the fall for this fiasco? Nope.

[Jarqui]

8. Isn't that basically called editing

which it appears they had already done for that video.

A bunch of that video was pretty straightforward and factual.
You cannot unsee those images

[Mz Pip]

9. Hold the story

Right. Gotta make sure the other side has an opportunity to make excuses, lie and gaslight.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

10. Needs more work!

[dalton99a]

11. A craven, shameless right-wing whore

[rurallib]

12. What was it W Bush said "We gotta push the propaganda"?

Looks to me like she is doing what her bosses want.

[90-percent]

29. Catapult the propaganda

n/t

90% jimmy

[jaymac]

13. Just like

the Kennedy center's drop in entertainers and also patrons, cbs is in for a rude awakening. they think we are stupid and brainwashed like fox fools.........their ratings are taking a big hit already..........and look how many viewed the bootleg version.........she''ll be the death of a once great station.

[BidenRocks]

22. Disney and Kimmel was a warning shot.

CBS is crap with old cop shows.
The demo is old like me.
I only watch Colbert and football. Any 60 Minutes worth a damn will be on YouTube.
They pawned the Tiffany years ago.
CBS died in 2026 due to suicide.
Sad!

[BootinUp]

16. She's doing a fantastic job

Of destroying what was left of CBS news integrity.

[bmichaelh]

17. Last Week Tonight

On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver did a segment on some of her reporting in the past with "The Free Press"

[Mr.Bee]

18. People Who Grew Up

with FOXNews and being told all other news sources around the world
are fake news and are put into the editor position of CBS News-
What could possibly go wrong?
Of course they're going to try to turn it into a mainstream version of FOXNews!
If you were TEN when FOXNEWS debuted, you'd be about 40 today...

[GiqueCee]

19. Weiss...

... is a Republican. As such, she is utterly devoid of even a sub-atomic trace of empathy or common human decency; she's congenitally incapable of critical thinking, and is steadfastly devoted to the furtherance of the diseased conservative belief system, which is a cancer. And cancer always destroys its host.

[JustAnotherGen]

20. She'll get hers

Might take some time - but the propagandists will all get what's coming to them.

[Initech]

24. They tried the propagandists at Nuremberg.

We need to try the propagandists here too when this nightmare is finally over. They are all complicit in making and enabling the worst abuses of humanity and the Constitution happen.

[Initech]

23. Fuck that piece of shit!

[Klarkashton]

26. There is no both sides to the El Salvador torture

Prison story. There is nothing to be "fair" about.

[marble falls]

27. It's her super power.

[duckworth969]

28. Weiss is a textbook example of the banality of evil

[eppur_se_muova]

30. "Never attribute to evil that which may be due to pure incompetence."

That seems to be strongly implied here. She has no idea how the people under her management do their jobs, and she's not interested in finding out, because she already knows everything.

[mdbl]

31. Translation: We need to learn how to lie like Fux Nooze

We also need to train our reporters to speak lovingly to magat morons who make no sense and have no intelligence.

[LudwigPastorius]

33. She's a Trump-fluffing empty suit.

By trying to make CBS' news shows FOX-lite, Weiss is going to lead it off of a ratings cliff.
