Comes from writing opinions and quitting the NYT to form an opinion substack called “The Free Press”. Presents herself as some kind of maverick but is another right wing grifter and bullshitter. Goes into a storied network thinking she smarter than the actual journalists who see through her.

She reduced the viewership of the former Kennedy Center show by at least 50%. That's Trump style winning.

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

She's not even a journalist or professional editor. She's an oped writer bullshit artist who swindled her way into the role. Debates aren't journalism. Saying im not a conservative im a centrist isnt journalism.

Don’t forget this… www.rawstory.com/trump-kenned...

Bari Weiss has woven a rich tapestry of mediocrity.

In the future, Bari Weiss won't allow CBS to air a documentary on the Holocaust because she won't be able to get "important voices" among the Nazis to give their side of the story. What a fucking joke. She's not a journalist, she's a PR manager for the Chump regime.

JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

The level to which the most viciously - and violently - anti-speech government and administration in American history pretends to care about free speech takes monumental levels of shamelessness

The condescension and moral preening are getting all the glory in this email, but don’t sleep on the new head of CBS News declaring that the last 7 days were a “slow news week.”

We have a Christmas Eve drama that is so First World that it is profoundly embarrassing. I will donate $250 to the charity of choice of the person who comes closest to guessing.

Trump: I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you? Caller: I am eight

"Sometimes, working hard looks like.... not working hard. Sometimes publishing a story looks like killing a story. Sometimes telling the truth looks a little like lying. We make these decisions so you don't have to."

oh yah I'm sure Bari Weiss is going to be the one to restore trust and integrity to journalism LMAO

If that 60 Minutes piece had been sympathetic to the Trump administration, Bari Weiss would have featured it on prime time TV.

"We are not out to score points with one side of the political spectrum"

Good Lort. Imagine writing this & SENDING THIS to an organization of professionals that have more journalistic chops in their toenails than you will acquire over lifetime.

Yeah, post through it, Bari.

She outlines basic practices of journalism, things "60 Minutes" was doing long before she came along, and then has the temerity to say, "this may seem radical," like she just invented journalism. What an insufferable human being.

“The only way to win back Americans’ trust in the press is to let Trump veto any story he doesn’t like”

“Hello people who actually do this for a living, your rightwing billionaire installed boss is here to tell you I’m much better and smarter at everything you do”

She’s preparing them to do all the propaganda for the #VileAdministration that’s is currently occupying the White House.

I like how a she says a week that started with a dump of Epstein documents, seizure of tankers, blown up fishing boats, and saber rattling towards Iceland is a... *checks notes* "slow news week."

CBS Legal *and* Standards & Practices signed off. The piece was actively being *promoted* on CBS and its digital platforms the Friday before the segment. This wasn't something clapped together in a week where you could *plausibly* argue it wasn't vetted.

And again, the producers reached out to the WH/ DHS/ DOJ for comment FIVE TIMES and received no response. As we all know, that in itself “is a comment” and trying to “both sides it” is journalistically impossible. She has no credibility & is driving viewers away.

"on a slow news week" is probably the dumbest fucking thing I've read in my life

I have every reason to believe she knows exactly how insulting she comes across. That's a key part of her whole brand.

The fucking gall. She has never been a journalist, and her version of building trust is giving a veto to Stephen Miller (or Donald Trump) about whether they are sending innocents to be tortured in a foreign gulag. The Who-Me destruction of institutions is a pervasive modern cancer in society

Look at how much this smug fuckface loves it.....

Also by the grace of Great patriot/ Vanity Fair photographer Christopher Anderson You can rest assured That underneath That chyron border Is a fucking fat gut #Mm

Why is the guy on Fox smirking and chuckling? He thinks it’s amusing that we paid El Salvador almost $5 million to torture innocent people? And let’s not forget, the plan was that they were never going to leave. NEVER. El Salvador just got worried about the blowback from their own citizens.

worthwhile to note that stephen miller now lives on a military base

Revolt? Me thinks he doesn’t understand that word. Journalists aren’t government employees.

You don't die if you're being tortured. That's the point. The detainee in the CECOT video from CBS said most inmates preferred death to their treatment. Did you know there's a "Enhanced Interrogation Certification" (torturer) in the US military? They know how to keep people alive.

The Kremlin has littered social media here with anti Republican Pro Trump propaganda. It's a shake down.

Breaking: Stephen Miller discovers journalism and does not take it well.

LOS ANGELES IS GETTING POUNDED BY STORMS AND FLOODS AND IT'S A REMINDER THAT CLIMATE CHAOS IS HERE. CLIMATE JUSTICE MEANS PROTECTING OUR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS AND INVESTING IN SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE NOT CORPORATE PROFIT. SOLIDARITY WITH EVERYONE IN LA RIGHT NOW.

This is the sort of thing that the villain from Sorry To Bother You said and that was supposed to be dystopian science fiction

The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous. It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.

Bury Weiss, Harper’s Letter Postscript: J/K.

lol I just can’t believe she’s comfortable talking to people who put together “60 Minutes” like this

Critic: "This movie is one of the year's best examples of lousy filmmaking" Ad: "One of the year's best! -Critic"

There’s a lesson here about writing in the age of weaponized lies: Always precede false claims with giant red text, ideally wrapped in a <blink> tag, that says “THIS IS A LIE I AM REFUTING!!” But also, why is a book that makes this kind of lazy, bad-faith argumentation getting any accolades at all?

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty: My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media. Huh? When did I say that?!

Heritage's Project 2026: Trying to stay alive

Prof. Josh Blackman resigns from right-wing think tank the Heritage Foundation: “Dear Kevin Roberts — Your initial remarks were indefensible. Your apology was underwhelming… you aligned Heritage with the rising tide of antisemitism on the right.” www.publicnotice.co/p/heritage-f...

Lutnick isn’t stupid. He knows what he’s saying here is a lie. Kellyanne knows this is a lie. But they have nothing but contempt for the Fox audience, and serving up lies to the lemmings has worked so well for so long. A tiny handful are doing well, millions are not.

Discount Magda has thoughts.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.
