CBS News Radio ends as Bari Weiss plans programming shakeup

Jeff Eyges 🇺🇦 🇵🇸33

They should all retire. Leave her with nothing but the name.

Michael@theFreakShow30

She got bought off with over a $100 mill for her bogus Free Bird Press, in return she just has to Foxify CBS as a right-wing crackpot propaganda platform for the Ellisons. Ewww.

Donna Cohen, MLIS, MEd29

And he was extremely delicate, in my opinion. But I guess he got his point across. 😏

Jodi Jacobson19

She has no detectable talent or judgement in any kind of news or actual facts.

The Red Circle16

She’s a propagandist hired to “shape” the news properly.

DebmBudd13

I continue to be gobsmacked at how delusional so many of these folks can be. "Other people have principles? Really? But they will still work for me, who has none, right?" 🙄

SeasideGramma@TheBeach 🇺🇦🩴🌊 🌻12

Bari lacks every thing great about Anderson and Colbert. She’s an empty vessel.

Kevin from the Armageddon11

Blindsided? Is she really that fucking dumb? Jesus Christ.

John Ryan9

Smart move on Anderson’s part! Why stay on a sinking ship that would only further destroy your career.

Ande9

To be blindsided, you need awareness, Bari Weiss is anything but aware. She lives in a bubble of grandiosity & acts from that mindset. Her success can be explained by the same reasons another person of grandiosity, Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos), was able to con many people with her “greatness.”

The Bari Weiss Show is gonna be great

Anderson Cooper works for CNN. 60 Minutes interviewed Marjorie Taylor Greene as if she were a real politician. Corporate media railroaded Biden on his age to get Trump back. Cooper thinks he's taking a moral stand, but just because he doesn't like the jam offered doesn't mean he's giving up toast.

Good for Anderson. Maintaining integrity is vital. CBS has become politicized and free speech is not respected. I will no longer watch any programming on the station. It is disgraceful what Weiss did to Colbert. I’m glad Anderson stood on higher ground.

Spirit from Montgomery5

It’s called “I would rather starve then eat your bread “!

Fdell4

She’s a useful idiot for now.

🩵💙🩵 Beth 🩵💙🩵3

I just can’t stop thinking that they hired her specifically to take CBS EKG into bankruptcy. This Colbert business has to be the dumbest business move I have ever heard of.

After this is over, there's a place for a book entitled 'Profiles in Integrity'. Getting to 'over' depends on the folks in it.

(((be kind)))2

"OK, yes, I'm asking you to compromise your journalistic integrity, but I'll give you more money!" she whined

Dorian2

A Epstein reference goes far in network media

Michael Friedman2

I picture Weiss, the inexperienced bull, huffing as she jealously gazes inside the china shop watching others dance the Tango without causing much of a stir…if that.

rnate.bsky.social2

Anderson Cooper was great at CBS but Bari is one of major reasons I am blocking CBS .

Dana2

Touché Anderson. It’s not like this will change much, but at least is another embarrassment for the incompetent Weiss. I’m sure the boatload of money she received from the Ellisons will soften the blow.

Cosmic Breeze 🫘10

Love your new setup. It looks great! You are thriving in your new venture. 👏👏👏

Cookie Vargas8

It looks like cbs “symbolically” closed their news radio at the same time as Colbert ended to signal their complete enshittification.

Grumpy Zeus8

CBS has achieved Tesla status: A brand now hated forever. May it never recover...

Maddiej7

Or knocking down the east wing of the White House….

Johnny Appleweed5

The Louvre is very old and would be better served with a new building adorned with gold and randomly strewn Corinthian columns.

Carol Mathias4

I worked in radio 1978 to 1981. You really reminded me of the importance of what I did and I am mourning the loss.

Twice-On-Belmont3

I got a big surprise this morning when the national CBS radio news I've woken up to for 40 years was....ABC?! Notably, the quality of reporting on ABC was far higher than it's been on CBS Radio as of late. (Happily, the local anchors and reporters are still there.)

Claudia Hall Christian (she/her)3

Can you ask Ellison why? He used to talk about being independent, free to do what he thought was right bc he was a genius. It's bizarre to see him doing the bidding of an idiot like Trump. Can you ask him wtf?

Dan in NY2

When I lived in a place where the local paper was all local news, I had no TV, and my written news came in weekly magazines (yeah, I'm that old), I could rely on CBS radio news, on the hour, for 3 minutes of news - 5 minutes at 8AM and 6PM. I'm sad to see it go but I would boycott it today.

JC 🏳️‍🌈2

Heard the newsroom is a ghosttown today. Many folks just called out sick. Bari Weiss is never going to live this down among us old radio creatures.

ninaberries2

so sad. I always loved working on radio row near cbs radio news reporters like steve futterman at all kinds of events (globes, oscars, etc while I was at npr for 15 years). I was trained in the fred friendly newsroom at columbia and learned to write like a cbs "newsman" rip cbs radio news 📻

hear-ye--hear-ye.bsky.social2

The control of media, the narrative in the country is a battle we cannot lose. The propaganda that is being spewed out is why Republicans are in office. Israel first billionaires, are controlling a large part of media. Elon Nazi tendencies are destroying brainless MAGA crowd.

Jimmy stands up for science2

One more step in the enshittification of CBS. See also Colbert, 60 Minutes, etc

chiefpad23

No reconciliation with CBS. No. Not ever. The punishment must be eternal and relentless. You don't let the criminal out of prison just because he stopped robbing banks.

kikime2.bsky.social15

Let me know when the Ellison spawn is ousted. Then I might be interested.

Sterling B.12

The owners are still poison, she is meaningless

outspoken1net.bsky.social11

Damage is done and they will just get someone worse.

The Potty Mouth Pundit9

Oh, now there’s a fucking tragedy. And like the Ellisons care. They hired her specifically to break CBS. Welp, Colbert is gone as of tonight and Tony Doukoupil is tanking their nightly news time slot so *checks notes* I’d say: Mission accomplished. #FuckCBS

EllisonX7

They could dig up the bones of Walter Cronkite and I'll never watch CBS again

Curt6

Irreparable harm done. No do overs.

wjmckeown.bsky.social4

Don't care. Done with CBS. They destroyed themselves for the orange menace

kntter0.bsky.social4

Don’t care, won’t be watching SeeBS regardless

Jacob J Jacobson4

Keep her, dump her, it don’t matter. They are who they are. And I’m done with them. Might as well just fucking keep her. They aren’t changing regardless of whether she’s there or not. They told us who they are. Fascist fucks.

S Robertson Women’s Rights ARE Human Rights4

Too late the trust will take years to believe anything CBS News says or reports This is how Twitter became so useless for real facts

Fight The Sadistocracy4

So what. They’ll just install someone worse. That’s the Magguh way.

Catherine3

She already cashed the check.

captainwest.bsky.social2

Incredibly stupid for CBS to drop Stephen Colbert, but it was all about the money, and the Hell with the audience.

Rosecrucian Roeth2

Too little, too late 😠

Jerome2

I don’t mind that she goes. But there will still be oligarchs running the thing, that I will never watch again.

Mamaw Life '262

Who cares? I'll never watch CBS again.

scrambledbrainz.bsky.social2

They could toss her out on her ass in broad daylight and do it live and I would NEVER watch. They are nothing but propaganda. 🖕

Sian of the South2

Too little, too late. Also fuck the Ellisons!!!!!

martilives.bsky.social2

They can get screwed for all I care….ill never ever watch that network again

TrixxyIL2

Weiss did exactly what she was hired to do.

Dog Named Bob2

Some people are already calling her Bury Weiss

Turk Pipkin15

Small typo. The correct name is Barely Wise. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Wile E. Coyote's ACME Sales Rep13

Pardon my Klingon, but Bari Weiss is completely full of crap. She knows Anderson Cooper is an actual, serious journalist and that she's nothing but a glorified hack hired to skew the news, not report it. So give me a damn break and cry me a river.

greg606

And a 1, And 2, sing 🎶…… F&ck Bari Weiss !!! F&ck Bari Weiss !!! F&ck Bari Weiss…… I need more participation from the sopranos, tenors and baritones !!! 🤬 The alto section is magnificent, as always 😇.

Diana❌👑📎5

I've been watching clips of Colbert's last shows all day & it makes me so sad. 💔 Bari Weiss & CBS, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you.

Lucy. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 💙 🌻 🌹4

I will enjoy watching the end of her f'cking career and total collapse of CBS.. She can rot in hell. I'm so damn sick of these cruel, ignorant assholes.

churchlady3203

Her professional trajectory was downhill to self-created publications stuffed w her own opinions. When one gets believing one is always the Wunderkind, that may not be the best fit for returning to formal journalism. CBS should have been more wary. Or wanted her destruction. There IS that.

Michael B Lehrhoff3

Bari Weiss gives gutless corporate sellouts everywhere a bad name. Cronkite and Murrow are rolling in their graves at what has befallen the Tiffany Network.

Nellie Cubed3

I don’t understand. This wasn’t live. Why wouldn’t she have had the opportunity to view it before airing? She’s scrubbed other segments on 60 Minutes.

Yellow Dog Dem 2

Blindsided Bari? Obviously Bari can't read a room.

angarhad52.bsky.social2

What on earth did she think he was going to say? That she was a genius and that CBS was a bastion of free speech and integrity in journalism?

Cindy Bloom2

too bad she wasn't furious enough to have a stroke

🌻Gabs🌻 🇺🇲🇲🇽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦 🇬🇱2

He was supposed to say thank you so very much for the opportunity you have given me and then proceed to kiss her feet.

dem6400.bsky.social2

I think he was very tactful in his exit interview, considering they want journalists to sacrifice their integrity to appease a thin-skinned old man who wants puff pieces about himself and everything else right-wing biased.

br00t4c2

#BuryWeiss and the Ellison nepo baby fraud deserve all the opprobrium. All of it and then some.

Epstein files or bust 🇺🇦25

Oligarchs must kill the truth machines.

MarkArts17

America is closing down. Late show - dead and gone CBS Radio - dead and gone Corporation for Public Broadcasting - dead and gone USAID - dead and gone US National Parks - for SALE

Emily12

Edward R Murrow's traditional sign-off phrase is more apt than ever: "Good Night, And Good Luck."

Cig Ciglar7

Just another thing that was once great, but is now gone. Seems to be an accelerating trend.

Libby Justice5

To paraphrase @rickwilson.bsky.social, everything Donald Trump — and Bari Weiss — touches dies. They’ve killed Colbert’s Late Show and CBS Radio. The CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes are physically alive but are mostly dead, too.

Tracy L Cooper 📎3

They are ruining CBS & do not care.

Tony H3

Another small sign of America in decline.

Antifa H.R. Manager on Blueskee3

America got a bit darker tonight.

Allan2

As someone who watched Walter Cronkite, I prefer it this way. The other option was to turn it into a propaganda machine. I would rather see them shut it all down than have them continue soiling the memories.

Brett Coughlin2

PBS is next if our current president has anything to say about it.

Jack Benjamin13

The added level of irony is that Colbert highlights would often be referenced on CBS Mornings as a general form of cross-promotion. Ignoring the finale isn’t just weird, it’s explicitly against precedent.

Jason Snell2

I noticed that Colbert has been buried on Paramount+ as well....

Kim Masters2

I just did a hit on *British* radio about Colbert!

Barbara Rybolt 🐸2

Thanks for posting! I’m crying ugly tears yet again!

josefkaf.bsky.social2

Don’t think Weiss and those a**holes that own CBS now understands. You can’t buy a credible business and turn it into a circus. Ask Rupert Murdoch. You must first buy the tent and then hire the clowns. She is so out of her depth.
