Bari Weiss's leadership at CBS News draws sharp criticism
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...
Lindsay (Tired Version)134So many people out there suffering from Imposter Syndrome and Bari Weiss just…doesn’t.
Scrapple Bottom103I’m high enough for this schadenfreude
Jacob Whittaker67I 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
PGDubFan54She’s really bad at her job, isn’t she, like she was manifestly unqualified!
Julia Is Moisturized, Unbothered, Not Asking for Money42Bari’s really covering herself in glory she probably fired all the competent people in the travel department because they were Black and Latina ladies
yazikus29Wild how rules work when you can't just pull strings.
Michael Matuzak23Fucking amateur hour over there
Jenny Lens, Punk Pioneers Photographer20Schadenfreude. 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!
Proportionwheel15I 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.
Fuzz Litebeer14I like to think Dan Rather us laughing at this. His ass was reporting from the jungles of Vietnam and these mfers can't even do paper work. 😂
Wingofbenu12lmao theyre calling her the most qualified newscaster ever
Emanuel Brown9Laissez les bon temps rouler
pershing48.bsky.social8He's going to be starting off Whiskey Friday really early tomorrow (or today for him?)
Billiam J. Puffenstuff III, ESQ, RN, CPA6It is rat as fuck to me to know that I am more capable of planning and permitting traveling to China than the head of CBS News. And to be very clear I am, on a good day, a fucking idiot
Rod Green6Weiss is living proof that a meritocracy doesn’t exist in America.
PNW Lark5Someone in legal knew, and let them fuck it up anyway.
magastolemymate.bsky.social5It’s really something when we’re rooting for the foreigner against Americans. Or foreign countries over the US? Crazy times but nothing looks better than stupid people continually fucking up publicly on the international stage. Go Taiwan hotel.
owen-symes.bsky.social4Ed Murrow's spinning corpse is gonna be able to power a small city at the rate Weiss is ruining CBS News!
Lyle Scout4She enshittified CBS in record time.
Virginia S. O'Possum4This is what happens when you fire all the people who do the real work.
Ian4On 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>
pavlek3When they won't give you whisky fridays, you create your own
greatgrapeape.bsky.social3I 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.
Tim Yocum3Whiskey Thursdays am I right
d1fferentp3rson.bsky.social3A deep fall from CBS' days of having someone like William Shirer reporting from Germany before and during WWII.
Brandon Downey3I do recommend the Kavalan for whisky Friday's though.
John Penus 𓅸2i caught the past 5 minutes of tony waiting for my local news and it was an interview with a man from taiwan that said mainland chinese people don’t believe in souls or an afterlife and made a weird comparison to dogs. real propaganda hours on cbs.
johnniegoat.bsky.social2At least he didn't get a parking ticket
Chairman Meow2Weiss was brought in to destroy CBS News but I don't think even the Ellisons thought she would be THIS incompetent and embarrassing.
Sean2Bari Weiss, trying to break the bad news with humor using a bad Italian accent in front of everyone: Tony, we got-Dokoupil-a problems! (Then she resigns and writes 3 part series on the woke newsroom rejecting her hilarious joke, instantly restarting her right wing grifting career.)
KO2It’s almost like incompetence is a core value of fascism.
Melissa Jo Peltier2Did they fire all the producers with Asian travel experience?
Turk_Sanderson2Even your local Public Access station would be aware of any governmental protocols and or barriers needed to be overcome in order to maintain compliance with a host nation.
EveryZig3142PRC 🤝 Taiwan Sick of this idiot
anitamargarita2I love this for all of them (esp the cbs employees who knew better)
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.
The Next Day12That theory that Bari DOGED a bunch of logistics people in CBS News is looking better and better.
Mark Shatraw9We have an entire website chock-a-block with lawyers and subcontractors whose whole job is "visa"
Rod Green9Inexplicable to see an iconic news brand kill itself over Bari Weiss.
KWierso4Will this impact whiskey friday?
panda, the aloofful scientist4on the one hand, media institutions being destroyed is bad otoh, lmao
Kaitlyn the Strange2I choose to believe that everyone else has decided to leave a clear path to the rakes.
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...
Lynne Raughley12I’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.
Letty Finhadden5Is this financial or ideological?
timelady123456783Just so sad. They just have to destroy everything, don’t they?
Neckties of Noir3I’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.
Kaiser of Flavorbürg2I have early memories of Charles Kuralt and the theme song is burned into my DNA. I only today learned it is called Abblasen
CBS paid Bari Weiss $150M to make a mess out of it. They failed to get a visa for Tony Dokoupil, forcing him to broadcast Trump’s China trip from Taiwan. Then the hotel barred CBS from broadcasting. They are averaging around 3.7M viewers compared to ABC News’ 9M. www.msn.com/en-us/news/i...
Banksta7After Colbert is gone then I’m done with CBS. He’s the only one I watch now.
Maureen Rogers6I love that for them.
Newsjunkeee3Bari doing her absolute best to bring CBS down to OAN-level quality and viewership numbers 😅
Khr5@bsky.com3Loving all the bad news that CBS is getting
Me-Shell, myself and I3They should have known by his poll numbers...I guess they are a "low IQ person"
The Excelorcist2CBS under Bari Weiss is inverse Harlem Globetrotters.
FUCK DONALD TRUMP2Katy Tur must be so proud
HigherEd Alicia2Right now Ta-Nehisi Coates is somewhere smiling
jandee924 🌻🕊️🦋2I wonder if anything can save them now (CBS, that is).
