really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Bari Weiss has completely disgraced journalism, and effectively destroyed CBS and 60 Minutes. My heart goes out to the news team who worked so hard to bring us this story about one of the most horrendous actions of this government.

CBS has pulled the 60 Minutes investigation into the immigrants who were unlawfully detained at CECOT, a super max prison in El Salvador. Last week it was the Erika Kirk show. Now they’re censoring the news. CBS has fallen. They’re state sponsored propaganda now.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

The Trump-Epstein Files open.substack.com/pub/qasimras...

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday? Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

This is extremely important

“The American government’s most prominent foreign-policy theorists have transferred their domestic obsessions to the outside world, projecting their own fears onto others. Their fantasy world endangers us all,” Anne Applebaum writes:

Michelle Obama always keeps it real. That’s why we love her. This is how a decent and good person speaks about other decent and good people who died from a tragic murder.

These men are fragile losers, but it's also instructive because MAGA is now full on white nationalism. We're seeing an intersection of white Christian nationalists, white nationalists, and neo-Nazis. All wanting power and dominance. Hoods are off. Don't sleep on this.

Nothing more than perceived wealth that doesn’t exist for the purposes of taxes, but magically does for the purposes of leverage. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay real taxes on low wages and can’t leverage shit. The game is rigged. Tax the rich.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
