Bari Weiss's leadership at CBS News draws sharp criticism
Bari Weiss, in a top role at CBS News, is facing intense criticism online and from staff over editorial choices and errors.
First Bari Weiss's CBS failed to do any prep work, so Tony Dokoupil was unable to broadcast from Beijing. Now he's been kicked out of his Taipei hotel for broadcasting without their permission. www.status.news/p/tony-dokou...
I’m high enough for this schadenfreude
So many people out there suffering from Imposter Syndrome and Bari Weiss just…doesn’t.
She’s really bad at her job, isn’t she, like she was manifestly unqualified!
I just know she screamed "Well someone should have told me John did the overseas paperwork before I fired him!" and it was not the first time anyone in the office had heard her make a similar complaint but she still hasn't had a single moment of self reflection
Bari’s really covering herself in glory she probably fired all the competent people in the travel department because they were Black and Latina ladies
Fucking amateur hour over there
Wild how rules work when you can't just pull strings.
Schadenfreude. Stephen Colbert eating popcorn and wearing 3D glasses. Trump and Bari Weiss and CBS and whomever degrading what we watch. Including kicking Colbert to the curb. While CBS cannot even set up coverage of Trump in China. Way to go, CBS!
lmao theyre calling her the most qualified newscaster ever
I cannot escape, and do enjoy, the suspicion that there’s a layer or two of support staff at CBS News that passively resist by just playing ignorant.
He's going to be starting off Whiskey Friday really early tomorrow (or today for him?)
When they won't give you whisky fridays, you create your own
On the one hand <nelson laugh>. Then realizing it just sucks feeling they continue to do this to tarnish real journalism <cry’s in Kirk Van Houten>
I read that the hotel was NOT happy with hair man's aggressive description of China relative to Taiwan and asked him to broadcast someplace else.
Someone in legal knew, and let them fuck it up anyway.
Whiskey Thursdays am I right
She enshittified CBS in record time.
Laissez les bon temps rouler
PRC 🤝 Taiwan Sick of this idiot
A deep fall from CBS' days of having someone like William Shirer reporting from Germany before and during WWII.
I do recommend the Kavalan for whisky Friday's though.
"Israel to Bari Weiss: 'Thank You'" The CBS News editor-in-chief let Netanyahu choose who would interview him. Plus, the pro-Israel pressure campaign against the New York Times’s Nick Kristof falls flat. This week's Ragebait media column from Zeteo:
He's a fucking war criminal, why is anyone giving him a platform?
I've historically liked Major, but I was so disappointed in his interview. Allowed him to completely reframe the horrors he's causing in Gaza and the region. Sick. Same with the Landry interview.
You know what to do, folks. Tune them out. Don’t say their name(s).
Israel is planning a $700M propaganda campaign for next year. This means more politicians to be bought and paid for. Best way to fight this is boycott any media company that takes their money.
Netty needs to be arrested for bona fide war crimes.
She didn't ask why isn't Israel ships joining US ships to open the Hormuz Strait? She didn't ask about his genocide against unarmed starving non-combatants She didn't ask why Israel will not go & get the Uranium from Iran Tell Bari that Edward R Murrow is rolling over in his grave
Hmm… First Bibi was in Our Country🇺🇸 Situation Room. Now dictating who he wants to interview him on our USA media corporation.Where’s our Backbone & Stewardship?
"Allowing Carr to muzzle the ladies of The View would be a mistake akin to handing CBS News over to Bari Weiss. And since Trump is loyal to no one, it would only win them a temporary reprieve." By @lizdye.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's latest PN: open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...
As Commissioner Gomez said, "You cannot buy this Administration's favor. For the right price, you can only borrow it. And the price always goes up." Our country is being run like the mafia. Encouraging that some see that and are fighting back.
America is still trying to figure out why the FCC, and Carr, are relevant.
You never submit to bullies because they'll never stop that way.
Hands down far and away the thinest skinned people EVER. And frankly its not that folks are actually lying but presenting facts about who and what these asshats are and maybe they should change THEIR behavior and then there wouldnt be bad facts to discuss.
A typically excellent CBS Sunday Morning piece on CBS News Radio (1927-2026), which is shutting down next week after 99 years. Why is a storied radio network that still has 700 affiliates being forced to close? Ask Bari Weiss and the beancounters at Paramount. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOJM...
I’m sorry, but Bari Weiss is not counting beans, she’s taking a jackhammer to the whole enterprise for political reasons. Truth and fascism don’t mix.
Is this financial or ideological?
Just so sad. They just have to destroy everything, don’t they?
I’m convinced the only Trump supporters left are the ones who bought the never-expires pass on the racism train to hell. They’ll never give up.
I have early memories of Charles Kuralt and the theme song is burned into my DNA. I only today learned it is called Abblasen
When Bari Weiss came to CBS she had almost no experience in broadcast news. It was a political hire, not journalism. "...By whom do you want to be interviewed on 60 Minutes, Mr. Prime Minister? Would Lesley Stahl with 35 years on the program suit, or would our Major Garrett be more to your liking?"
CBS News: Crossed the "Not Journalism Anymore" Rubicon Washington Post: Crossed the "Not Journalism Anymore" Rubicon Los Angeles Times: Crossed the "Not Journalism Anymore" Rubicon Ppl can criticize NY Times, but at least their bad judgment calls are independent.
There is nothing Stahl or other reputable 60 Minutes correspondents can do to salvage the program's reputation. They need to resign or risk being tainted by this management.
So depressing to see a once premier news operation degraded in this way. Did Weiss let Bibi screen the questions, too?
Autocrats both hate and are terrified of women.
Please, Ellisons, destroy *all* the brands you own.
If you’re a journalist, and you know you were given an interview over a more experienced colleague because the interviewee preferred you, shouldn’t you be embarrassed for being singled out as an easier mark?
I think unwittingly Ellison did this to himself and deserves what comes his way 😆
today in Bari Weiss being very bad at the nuts and bolts and day to day workings of her job she doesn’t know what she’s doing and has clearly pushed aside anyone who does
Tony deserves it which is kind of a nice silver lining.
That theory that Bari DOGED a bunch of logistics people in CBS News is looking better and better.
We have an entire website chock-a-block with lawyers and subcontractors whose whole job is "visa"
Inexplicable to see an iconic news brand kill itself over Bari Weiss.
Will this impact whiskey friday?
on the one hand, media institutions being destroyed is bad otoh, lmao
