Bari Weiss faces CBS woes as key show posts worst ratings ever
NEW in tonight's Ragebait: The man who Bari Weiss just hired to run CBS News' podcast division was suspended by Slate in 2021 for arguing with his colleagues -- many of them black -- that white people should be able to say the n-word in certain situations. zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...
Justin Baragona35"An absolutely uninspired choice but par for the course. Bari loves anyone who has her shared experiences – particularly when it comes to any kind of kerfuffle even remotely related to the NYT,” a CBS reporter told me about Bari Weiss bringing Mike Pesca to CBS News. zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...
*it* is happening here6Bari: you can’t use the word genocide when referring to Israel Bari: saying the n-word is free speech
Dave Conrad5Hmm, certain situations such as... right before getting punched in the face?
Jerry Timber4He can say it whenever he wants. I don’t know what the argument is. Say it chief.

Laura2Haven't watched CBS since Colbert left. 🖕🏽
Cake or Death35so very fucking much of what is broken with our country is because a bunch of the worst people on the planet are big mad they don't get to drop hard r's without being judged
Clean Observer12Sad. This is the path that guy’s been on for 6-7 years. Working for somebody like Bari ends up the landing spot for every guy like this. Woof.
Renée Graham 🏳️🌈4Watching anything connected to CBS News is like continuing to use Musk's little hate machine — time to reconsider your life choices.
ArchPundit 3Last time I listened to him he just whined about cancel culture which is the most boring and pointless shit in the world
Ouch. A second high profile CNN journalist balks at working for Bari Weiss if Paramount takes over the cable network. Weiss is probably thrilled. The best way to remake the network is to get rid of all of the actual journalists and replace them with right wing pundits just like she's doing at CBS.
Shawn "Smith" Peirce3Saying it would “transform” the network belies the fact it would be turning actual news to sh** propaganda. And that’s only if they can complete the deal, which is looking less likely every day. So let’s cheer for a failed deal! 😁
Steve in Chicago3Absolutely hating this. Her reporting has been outstanding and, in particular, her work in Ukraine and Gaza has given Americans an on-the-ground view we otherwise wouldn’t have seen.
Iggy03181They will always have Jake Tapper and Dana Bash!!!!!
Maybe high ratings aren't the goal of Bari Weiss, new CBS News Head? Being a Trump mouthpiece is its own reward perhaps for the Ellisons.
Cliff38A Trump mouthpiece with no audience (or advertisers) is not very useful.
Zebulon Boone1Exactly this. They will see these numbers and reach the conclusion that the American public is becoming disengaged and worn out, which is the goal. That is not reality, but it is what they will see.
franklinchica.bsky.social1Those owning stock may have an entirely different view of the reward system over time. I don't so I'll enjoy watching a once venerable network circle the drain and Weiss eventually getting the heave ho.
