Reports: Bari Weiss seeks major interview to address CBS controversy
CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.
BeijingPalmer451alternately you must convince her that the problem is that she hasn't put herself on TV *enough*, the public is clamoring to see follow-ups to her sitdown with Erika Kirk. whenever Bari isn't on TV all the other anchors should be asking 'where's Bari'
Dr Surekha Davies, Historical Monster Consultant (she/her)44From your post to @ichotiner.bsky.social's ears!
Nathan Kalmoe (he/him)30He’s a very good listener.
Wonkish17I didn’t get enough sleep, so just imagine Weiss as Tobias Fünke talking to Lindsay about doing an interview with Chotiner.
Thebazilly14Oh please please please 🙏
Brandon Baumgartner10Lord, I don't ask for much...
Ana Marie Cox187Making me feel really good about never listening to “The Daily.”
Helen Kennedy48Damnit. Got there first bsky.app/profile/beij...
Allison Good4If this happens, broadcast it and show it in movie theaters
Sharon Z2Give the people (of Bluesky) what they want (schadenfreude)
Rich Seviora2plz god I’ve been so good this year and I ask for so little
Peter2IC: so you say you’re against cancel culture BW: oh yes, yes absolutely IC: and yet immediately after taking over CBS you engaged in an ideological purge and blocked airing of reporting on Trump administration policies?
I'm actually surprised by her apparent desire to do this: I thought she had the self-awareness to know her superpower is convincing the Epstein class of her brilliance, not conning us plebeians. But I guess I was giving her too much credit.
Mike Boylan-Kolchin410Anyway, I hope she wins out and sits down to be interviewed by Olivia Nuzzi or Scott Jennings or whoever and then just does the me sowing ... me reaping meme
Benji Cardoso ✡️105Everybody knows the best most serious journalists strive to become the news themselves
Jodi Jacobson61Self awareness? Oh, there is none.
Will C59"I thought she had the self-awareness" well imma stop you right there, because I think I see the flaw in your line of reasoning.
Lindsay (Tired Version)31What I wouldn’t give for this level of Imposter Syndrome Immunity
Paul Arzooman24She is desperate to be loved/respected. In her mind, all she needs to do is that one thing, that one interview, and people will recognize how brilliant she is.
Megan Greenwell110Dear Bari, As one of the first journalists to ever write about you way back when we were 20, I think we can agree I’d be the perfect interviewer — I know all about your history as a public figure, and can promise extremely informed questions. When shall we record? Looking forward to it, Megan
Mom33Everyone needs a Discord (or other community) where you’ll have five trusted friends who tell you “-2” or will slap you in the back of the head. If you’re stuck in your own goop for even a year, you will be genuinely unable to handle finding out everyone else finds you dislikable or incompetent.
Sydney Bauer30Bari keep going we all want you to sit down with multiple interviewers I hear the New Yorker has one that does great work
Jason Linkins27It figures that Michael Barbaro is the guy set up to provide this tongue-bath.
animal from the international network26Rasputins are rare. Delusional, narcissistic morons are much more common
mallow12holy shit, Interview with the Vampire (1994) reference 😳
Brian Bergstrom8It's the same narcissism that led her to decide that one of the first things she'd do when she took over was to put herself in front of the camera to interview Erika Kirk, to the fascination and delight of no one
Tony Clark6EXCLUSIVE: a preview of how Weiss will behave in the sit-down
Zach Heltzel5Let me bail Bari out of this jam: Whiskey Friday with Isaac Chotiner
Russ4It's easier to lie to other people if you convince yourself first.
DILLON: “Bari Weiss is taking over CNN now— and has isolated herself on the 6th floor of CBS, with guards.” Tim tells Rogan Bari’s loyalty to 🇮🇱 is behind her takeover of CBS/CNN to help Trump, saying it’s not antisemitic to question motives of pro-🇮🇱 donors Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DaCHX1e...
The Subsequent Mrs. de Winter18Those guards aren't going to help her when the folk she has aligned herself with start rounding up the gays and the Jews.
Doremus Jessup14Joe Rogan is an unfunny fucking moron who nods a lot but that other guy scores some points.
UniversalHealthcare13Why would they want to lie about ICE murdering innocent Americans? Because that is her job as a fascist propagandist selling Trump's lies. And I think Rogen knows it and is complicit. He is playing dumb to try and have some plausible deniability for supporting fascism.
Wednesday2849I swear to God, she can’t possibly be in charge of CNN too! Boycott CBS and Paramount!
Jinx8Because of the people that own the distribution of information, the revolution will not be televised... youtu.be/vwSRqaZGsPw?...
Jinx5"... And when you trust your television / What you get is what you got / 'Cause when they own the information, oh / They can bend it all they want" - John Mayer "Waiting for the World to Change"
Bari Weiss is betting that a morning show led by Mikey Barbaro, Steven Pinker, and Alan Dershowitz can help CBS compete for blue-collar middle-American tv viewers.
Honestly not sure if this is a real thing
kathidomalski.bsky.social8This is going to be one of those pitchbot posts that comes true in about three weeks.
Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer6"My Martha's Vineyard Struggles, Part 37"
freakanatcha.bsky.social4All the AM shows have QVC type "Deals and Steals" segments. Do you think Dershowitz hawking underwear would gain traction? Serious question
Mo4Before I saw that it was you that posted it, I thought it was real
whatodo.bsky.social2she is targeting thevspace owned by Fox and will lose viewership . 60 Min crew that pulled in 9 million viewers should go to ABC where journalism apparently can matter.
i can think of no finer summary for michael barbaro's career than that it's the safest space for bari weiss
David 29 Sunset4It makes a certain amount of sense that his job would be kind of like that for his nyt colleagues, but ffs I'd be ashamed to be identified as an ideal softball interviewer for people trying to rehab their public images.
Don House3*in the most annoying and condescending vocal tone you have ever heard in your fucking life* "hmmm"
missingjigsaw.bsky.social1Michael Barbero's podcast is dangerous and unacceptable.
Why read @nytimes.com (Ross Douthat), when you can get the same crap from Bari Weiss & the Heritage Foundation? 1/
Jenny Cohn242/ This guy. Seriously, wtf? bsky.app/profile/rexh...
Candy England6Feminism? It was a long, hard struggle to gain women’s rights. It wasn’t just “feminists”. It was almost all women. Single and married. Childless and with children. Many of us had no real connection to “feminism”
anima1.bsky.social6This woman began her career in a Rape crisis center??? but thinks rape is basically a product of male biology is the most sexist thing I’ve ever heard. So rape isn’t about power anymore but sex drive in this learned woman’s mind. Save yourself for a husband!! A rehash of mid 90’s anti feminism.
Krisi 🏳️⚧️1Ross Douthat really hates women.
I don’t think people are wrong when they say that billionaires are happy to drive news outlets into the ground if they get a propaganda benefit but it does make it a lot easier to say “this billionaire is obviously wanting a propaganda outlet” as Bari Weiss loses more viewers without losing her job
Brendel112The problem with being a bullshitter is that eventually at some distant point you might actually have to do the work and be revealed as a fraud but I kind of wish that point could be reached before they get all the money and power
Dr. Brian O'blivion2She should sit down with that Isaac Chotiner fellow; with each interview he seems to reveal each subject's own inner elegance of thought.
Dr. J. Franklin Williamson2Something of a “visible hand,” despite all of conservatives’ hand-wringing about the lack of the invisible hand in mainstream media, eh?
Oaf of Rugged Collectivism Sean1Interesting, all the reactionary conservative news outlets are "loss leaders" for capitalism, so fully commit to the bit while MLM has to "make money" and "satisfy investors". Traditionally loss leaders like the Corvette brings people into the showroom to buy a Equinox. We're required to buy BS.
Dave Against The Machine🏴1The problem is that when Bari Weiss talks to anyone who isn’t an okd rich white man they are immediately repulsed by her. Ive seen her past interviews
Scoop: Bari Weiss has been in talks for a blockbuster sit-down interview with The New York Times. But while she is inclined to punch back, others around her have advised against doing so. All the details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...
Dantifa26This news rockets to the top of my Don’t Give a Shit list.
Four Legs Good13I don’t care to hear from her. Ever
Charlotte Brooks🏳️🌈/夏黎 (夏洛特布魯克斯)9Interesting to see how she “punches back” those terrible ratings…
jc8I can’t wait for CBS News to die, people need to see corporate institutions die because of Trump. Maybe they’ll care more about that than the millions of poor people he’s killing around the world.
toddowhams.bsky.social7If she needs someone to vent to i bet chotiner could make some time
daffodillpicklemoney7Bari Weiss is someone I am not interested in hearing from.
Scott Horton41Prepare now for NYT's The Bari Weiss Story. Maybe they'll get into why her coworkers at NYT felt pretty uniformly she was a political hack, not a journalist. bsky.app/profile/oliv...
Roy Edroso32I wonder which fool the Times will get to ask her "How has us being so horribly cancel-culturey to you all those years ago taught you how to be strong in the face of all these unfair defections by both reporters and viewers?"
Grudgie the Whale28“Don’t you agree our biggest problem is not enough media outlets are brave enough to parrot regime talking points?”
Morgan Till11I dare say a Weiss-Barbaro podcast would create a super cyclone of self-regard so massive, that the tri-state area would be spun intergalactic into the Crab Nebula.
Ray Radlein6oh heck let her do chotiner instead
Mr. America4Oh great, just what nobody asked for -- a defensive tirade from Trump's Honorary Daughter: useless, whiny, petulant, perpetually aggrieved yet impossibly spoiled, handed a national soapbox when in a just world, she'd be thrown into a filthy dumpster. Hard pass. 🖕 bsky.app/profile/oliv...
