Imagine a "covid II" which disproportionately affects children now that this has become elite conventional wisdom

Just the logical extension of "criticizing me is censorship" endorsed by the new york times, the atlantic, the Harper's letter writere, etc

A damning and embarrassing indictment for the Labour Party.

Not rejoicing in his terminal diagnosis, but i was hunting for something about ben sasse and was reminded of how most "liberal" commentators totally bought his 100% fake persona and got mad again

"Journalists regularly tricked by astroturfing groups" would be a good story but you can see why they don't write that one

i have spent time with bari weiss, who used to date my former roommate and who i am in an alumni program with, and i feel comfortable saying she is both stupid and evil

“It’s the new Jeffrey Epstein jet.” Kristi Noem “posting a fun video in front of caged, tatted men.” Look how Bari Weiss’ The Free Press wrote about CECOT — the El Salvador megaprison Trump shipped people to — just months before she stopped the 60 Minutes segment on it: zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...

NYT shows how Bari Weiss really screwed this up. She didn't attend any of the 5 screenings of the story, which began on Dec. 12. She only first weighed in on Thursday, and the show incorporated her suggestions. She then waited until weekend to ask for more edits. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/b...

The Atlantic had to get the "it was OK for Harlan Crow to have Nazi memorabilia" guy off the bench for this one

It's actually worse. The Supreme Court has held 9-0 -- Clarence Thomas and other executive power fanatics included -- that detainees rendered to another country via the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to a pre-deportation hearing. There is no legal debate whatsoever.

It’s interesting that the administration wants you to know that Bari Weiss is in league with them.

Supporting LGBT+ rights is political in a way that breaches the civil service code and opposing them is not political in a way that precludes charitable status is a... complex position to hold, although one managed by former LGBA hate group with charitable status trustee Kathleen Stock.

I know she's just kind of saying whatever, but it's on-brand for Bari Weiss to review a damning story about the US sending people to a concentration camp and respond "we can't air this, have you even asked Tom Homan if he feels bad about any of it yet?" Perfect readout of who she sees, and doesn't.

The Pedophiliad

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

if 'gender critical' is a grass roots movement then why are there only ever, at max, 50 ppl are their rallies? yet at trans rights marches, and pride, there are thousands and thousands? @theguardian.com and the rest of them never seem to be able to square that circle.

Wes streeting special, with press helpers

To people like bari weiss, there are about one hundred people who are actually human and most are on the group chat

How does this piece from bari's personal publicist - dylan byers - hold up. archive.is/Ee1qi

Labour politicians love their emotional support nazis

and if you are bari weiss, and you watched this, and you said, "the main problem with this story is it's unfair to steven miller"—the moral deformation there is hard to exaggerate.

Excellent thread here by Bill of all the times Bari Weiss didn't care when stories she published had additional comment. This exec, Jennifer Sey, has become an anti-trans activist, currently offering a bounty for any pro women's soccer player to join her and accuse female competitors of being men.

Folks, you can’t have Christian Nationalism without the antisemitism. It’s a central tenet of the ideology. The fact some of these Jewish Heritage folks are just realizing this is wild to me.

He's a YIMBY abundance guy

Canadian TV network bravely airs dissidents’ report on U.S. abuses after political commissar orders its suppression

Her whole thing is “No, it is the executives who are actually oppressed.” Once you view any decision she makes through that lens, everything makes sense, including how she’s gotten to where she is.

"Get the principals on camera" is such a telling phrase here, because it tells us that for Weiss there's no world in which the victims of these horrific actions can actually be seen as the subjects of the story: They're background noise, and the people who matter are the ones sending them.

Coming up with the worst possible lie to cover for getting my ass whooped; a lie that now opens myself, the promoters and betting companies up for investigation ino order to own the libs

what do we think the revamped 60 Minutes segment will look like? the obvious answer is it will include interviews with the administration, but an underrated contender is interviews with victims of purported migrant crime.

embrace partisanship the way republicans have, own the issues that are important to people and make them “a democrat thing”

Never forget that "more conversations need to be had first" is a primary tactic that neoliberals use to kick the can down the road to avoid ever having to do anything

She has a point. The public knows about the prison abuse, which is why 60 Minutes instead ran a story last night about Mount Everest, which has never been covered before

Don’t worry, guys. Special envoy to the president Ric Grenell wants you to know that the CBS thing is totally on the up and up, and not to please the admin. He’s proving that by demanding CBS fires people.

for no particular reason I remembered this larry summers banger

Remember how pissed Jenkins got over Weiss criticism around this time? Lol

need a word to describe people with public platforms who lie stupidly, expect people to believe them, and then think it's rude that they don't. The Bariglesias maybe. people don't think they need to put the work into lying anymore.

Holding a story because the subject of reporting refuses to provide comment is b.s. and everyone knows it, even Bari Weiss. Just Google "request for comment" and "site:https://www.thefp.com" and you'll see pages of stories on Weiss' own website published without comment.

Something which isn't always acknowledged is that "contrarian thinkers" are just regurgitating conventional wisdom with a little extra racism, and these forbidden views are generally expressed by the most platformed mainstream figures, like Pinker.

This to me is the biggest issue. These men spoke at grave risks to their own safety about being beaten, raped, and tortured at the order of the President of the United States. All of Weiss's odes to free speech and "dangerous ideas" is and has always been horseshit

I think many people know him as that cheerful guy on NPR. But this paragraph written as Hurricane Katrina made landfall is the essence of Jonah Goldberg.

a simple lesson in press coverage: every journalist has lindsey graham's cell # and there are never any investigative stories about lindsey graham

nor her many defenders

though only successful because of the Ethics of Access Journalism

'legitimate concerns' is just a way for politicians and columnists to say 'i agree with that bigotry' without admitting to themselves that they hold bigoted views.

I asked our university's official AI assistant to draw a map of Poland in 1941. Great stuff. Glad we are steering our students toward this helpful resource.

Presented without comment.

Since it's such an enormous public benefit, perhaps you could explain why you decided to vote against lifting the cap in July of last year.

Also screw the BBC for its naked agenda. It refused to carry a hugely expensive first ever YouGov survey we commissioned showing how awful trans lives in the UK have become because it was "not strong enough" but there's no piece of anti-trans hatred too petty for it to platform.

The entire american "free speech" panic was about elites being criticized, which is why anyone who ever took it seriously should be ignored forever
