Bari Weiss hires British journalists at CBS News
CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.
alternately 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'
From your post to @ichotiner.bsky.social's ears!
He’s a very good listener.
I didn’t get enough sleep, so just imagine Weiss as Tobias Fünke talking to Lindsay about doing an interview with Chotiner.
Oh please please please 🙏
Lord, I don't ask for much...
Making me feel really good about never listening to “The Daily.”
Damnit. Got there first bsky.app/profile/beij...
If this happens, broadcast it and show it in movie theaters
plz god I’ve been so good this year and I ask for so little
Give the people (of Bluesky) what they want (schadenfreude)
IC: 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?
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...
Those guards aren't going to help her when the folk she has aligned herself with start rounding up the gays and the Jews.
Joe Rogan is an unfunny fucking moron who nods a lot but that other guy scores some points.
Why 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.
I swear to God, she can’t possibly be in charge of CNN too! Boycott CBS and Paramount!
Because of the people that own the distribution of information, the revolution will not be televised... youtu.be/vwSRqaZGsPw?...
"... 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
This is going to be one of those pitchbot posts that comes true in about three weeks.
"My Martha's Vineyard Struggles, Part 37"
Before I saw that it was you that posted it, I thought it was real
All the AM shows have QVC type "Deals and Steals" segments. Do you think Dershowitz hawking underwear would gain traction? Serious question
she 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
*in the most annoying and condescending vocal tone you have ever heard in your fucking life* "hmmm"
It 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.
Michael 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/
2/ This guy. Seriously, wtf? bsky.app/profile/rexh...
Feminism? 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”
This 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.
Ross Douthat really hates women.
Douthat is always disappointing~ with an utter lack of intellectual curiosity. He rarely hosts guests who don’t conform to his worldview. You have already posted about his Thiel interview, followed up by the fawning JD piece.
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
The 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
She should sit down with that Isaac Chotiner fellow; with each interview he seems to reveal each subject's own inner elegance of thought.
Something of a “visible hand,” despite all of conservatives’ hand-wringing about the lack of the invisible hand in mainstream media, eh?
Interesting, 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.
The 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...
This news rockets to the top of my Don’t Give a Shit list.
I don’t care to hear from her. Ever
Interesting to see how she “punches back” those terrible ratings…
I 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.
If she needs someone to vent to i bet chotiner could make some time
Bari Weiss is someone I am not interested in hearing from.
Prepare 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...
I 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?"
“Don’t you agree our biggest problem is not enough media outlets are brave enough to parrot regime talking points?”
I 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.
oh heck let her do chotiner instead
Oh 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...
