CBS destroying a brand they built up over the course of like 100 years for one criminal idiot is a pretty funny bit

I wrote a little thing about "Fairytale of New York" and about hope for a better year, but mostly I wanted to share the rendition of the song played at Shane MacGowan's funeral in 2023 because it's so beautiful. Happy Christmas, I love ya baby. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

As he writes from his perch in the Atlantic...

I’d certainly take them over a mortuary molester like Stephen Miller.

Once again …

Bari, I'd like to echo Scott Pelley: Girl, this is not a part time job.

Bari Weiss Praised El Salvador’s Dictator Before Spiking '60 Minutes' Story on His Torture Prison Weiss touted El Salvador’s leader while her blog published jokes about immigrants sent to CECOT, writes @premthakker.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...

If you saw the cut feature on Rama Duwaji and are tempted to go cut your hair immediately, consider this your reminder to call your oldest friend and talk it out first

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

i feel like this from roosevelt's 1942 state of the union address still works as a mantra today for our fight

Weiss and Noem sharing a cell in CECOT would be great.

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

so the two notable programming moves bari weiss has made at CBS are... airing an interview nobody watched and not airing a 60 Minutes segment that everybody watched. it's like she's satirizing herself

Even BILL CLINTON is saying he doesn’t care if the full release of the files implicates Bill Clinton. Amazing.

Rot in hell, Bari Weiss. Oh, crap, I don't believe in hell. Rot in CECOT, you talent-free, boot-licking sadist.

Words of wisdom as always from Joan

"Conquering insecure rich people is dangerous. That’s what we’re dealing with right now, with the #Trump administration and with the #BariWeiss media reign." #CBS #Media #Hollywood 💔 #RobReiner

Must-read, especially for much needed words of hope at the end.

I wrote about Bari Weiss doing the hard work of defending the rich and powerful www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

No words, sweet Donovan We failed you—again and again Rest now, brave one May every comfort find his family 💔

Oh, no. That is so sad. How can you not call guns a public health issue?

This is so sad

Oh Sally. I remember when you were great. I am so fucking betting against Bari Weiss because she believes in her own small set of grievances, and she is she fusing them to the grievances of larger people and I hope they are all defeated. But she certainly will be.

It’s so funny the person who started “The Free Press” is now in charge of state TV.

Donovan Metayer, a survivor of the 2018 Parkland school shooting in Florida, died by suicide at age 26 on Dec. 15. Even after a mental health hold, he was allowed to purchase the gun with which he ended his life.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

I wrote this before the 60 minutes nightmare. It even hurts more now.

Sharyn Alfonsi is an award-winning journalist who has worked for 60 Minutes for 20 years. Before that she reported for ABC, CBS & local news outlets. If Alfonsi says her story was spiked by Bari Weiss political reasons, that’s exactly what happened. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Good labeler for these people

TFM FTW.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

3/ additional point. I’m not aware that that Weiss has ever worked as an investigative reporter or editor. She’s an opinion journalist to the extent she’s a journalist. Final calls are not always made by people who come out of journalism. But the head of a news division generally …

She is evil, and lame. She has overreached. She will be gone, not soon enough, but sooner than she thinks.

Edit button please: I want to TELL...

I'm just sitting here cooking and I want to Alex Witt--no, you don't have to call it the Trump Kennedy Center. It's also not the Department of War or the Gulf of America. This shit matters, people.

Thinking today about this sentence: "Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9 percent increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a 2020 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office."

Many people commenting on this are saying she's just following Bari Weiss's orders. Which, maybe, but also: Brennan has worked for CBS News since 2012 and has hosted "Face The Nation" since 2018. She's been like this the whole time, though she might be getting bolder now.

lol

67 Senators could remove RFK Jr. today but there aren’t 67 Senators who care about Americans’ lives, health, or wellbeing. Babies will die. Our leaders hate us.

That sound you hear in the background is the clock ticking on Bari's career at CBS and in the upper echelons of right wing power. 18 months from now she's back to substacking for clickbait and attention.

In this week’s newsletter, I explain how Trump’s $1,776 payments is actually one of the most dangerous things he’s ever done. Armies loyal to a paycheck and not the government is how you get authoritarian overthrows of republics.

We lost Rob Reiner and we're stuck with Bari Weiss. What a week. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Truly insane that the networks took this speech live after refusing to do the same for Biden in 2022

This is vile Lots of DC reporters pretend Collins is reasonable and not like the MAGA extremists. Maine media fawns over her She's ruthless and despicable as are allies

best beastie boys song ever
