There’s deep jealousy over Bari Weiss’ success.

Ferdinand's avatar

Bari is a G-d send to not only CBS News but journalism overall. Notice on the Mainstream Media, stories have only one side…..the side whose point is worthy of validation.

VicOfTheIE's avatar

GOD is pissed. GOD dislikes lies and deception. CBS news as the others should only show the truthful side of things not the side featuring your darling felon world record lying liar and thief.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Juju's avatar

Wow God really dislikes YOU then. 🤣🤣🤣

I never understood why a friend of mine became so vehement when I mentioned to her that one of my favorite news sources was The Free Press. She began by telling me that TFP was not journalism at all, and insisted that Bari Weiss was a terrible reporter who didn’t understand her own profession (the friend is a former journalist who switched careers and became a university professor of feminist Chicano literature). After reading this I now understand where and how my hard core Democrat friend was radicalized. I live outside of the USA so I miss out on most mainstream news stories, but this certainly opened my eyes as to just how successful their propaganda has been over the years.

They are lemmings. Without any independent thought whatsoever.

VicOfTheIE's avatar

Weiss was never a reporter she was an opinion journalist before becoming a puppet. A very right leaning one who loves the felon she now serves under Mepublican owned CBS. The propaganda comes from the right.

Gee, you sound totally mature and well-adjusted. 🤡

Freedom Lover's avatar

Thank you for providing a perfect example of the lunatic mindless left.

Jeff's avatar

I guess the chapter and verse litany of lies and crimes that the writer laid out for you, all documented BTW, weren’t enough to get you to think.

That’s a good sign. Now take the red pill and see how things really are.

“Ha ha ha ha. Deep jealousy? More like Many ethical concerns “

Republicans are as unethical as they can get away with. Just look at the spineless congressional trumpublicans climbing out of felons arse every single day.

Skyten's avatar

You have no ethics.

Bari Weiss was the only person to my knowledge who asked “where are the feminists?” after the violence and rape that occurred on Oct 7, 2023.

Bobby's avatar

& we're still waiting to hear from the feminists

Stephen Korn, MD's avatar

The feminists dressed in pink are all supporting Lindsay Clancy (that’s where they are!)

Brian M's avatar

The Lindsay Clancy "feminists" do not value the lives of her children. They are just collateral damage in the quest to protect one of theirs. How many more "feminists" in America have disdain for the lives of children? Dead children are just the consequence of post-partum depression as far as they are concerned

Stephen Korn, MD's avatar

Yes, these three beautiful souls seemed to have been forgotten! !

((( Moishe the Beadle )))'s avatar

Yea and it’s so strange which “babies being murdered” they should be outraged on behalf of

Gordon Hackman's avatar

They're consistent in their support for/lack of condemnation of child killers.

Rachel Novak's avatar

I did too. I asked where Michelle Obama was after. She made such a major deal about bring back our girls. And where the heck was Jill Biden?

MarlaSinger's avatar

CBS news was already destroyed.

Jill Grunewald's avatar

Not permitting the tobacco story to be told lost 60 minutes credibility.

Walter Cronkite was a shill for the Democrats. He made no bones about his political party: Democrat. He thought, wrongly, that he was Edward R Murrow incarnate.

He did many great stories, but the one he did about the shameful extreme poverty in the richest country in the world.

Congress acted because Americans citizens were shocked that fellow citizens were starving. Of course they were.

RFK was always trying to help the poor. He took his rich children to see how people in the slums of the mountain south. His family, including RFK JR were taught to help the poorest Americans.

Cronkite did not come close to a story that showed in the face of Congress.

I was a young boy in a middle class family. The story made me fear that my family could go hungry.

I was assured by my parents that all will be well. Of course only to calm my fears.

Look up Murrow’s clips on CBS NEWS archives I believe. It is worth your time to see what real journalism by a bona fide journalist should look like.

I’m sorry. No.

“The media hates Trump, but it fears Bari Weiss.”

They fear Trump as well, and they should. They use hatred to cover up their fear.

Tessa Schlesinger's avatar

I watched, in astonishment, as the left turned against Bari Weiss when Elon Musk handed her the Twitter Files. That was when I realized that the left was full of hatred, and it was when I began to take a good, long, hard look at them.

Brian M's avatar

Excellent point. I am a conservative who happens to like Bari Weiss's love of real journalism, which is to just tell the truth. I have tracked her ever since she was fired by the NYT. She is and remains a liberal, and I am fine with that. It is Truth we all seek, those of us in the middle. Which way we lean on the social spectrum is not as important as just knowing the Truth

Freedom Lover's avatar

She wasn't fired. She walked away. Publicly.

DRK's avatar

My very liberal friend had never heard of the Twitter files! It didn't get a lot of MSM press sadly

Tessa Schlesinger's avatar

Who is your very liberal friend? if she was on Twitter, she had to have heard of it.

DRK's avatar

Not on Twitter, only on NYT. Honestly I was shocked.

Tessa Schlesinger's avatar

Wow. The press is really good at passing on any stories that would not put them in a good light. They were a very interesting read, and anyone who read it would have realized that there was a like of bs going on behind the scenes to get Biden into power.

NordicDawg's avatar

Same thing happened to Matt Taibbi.

dan brandt's avatar

Having lived through the Cronkite era, Huntley Brinkley at al. Bari is a breath of fresh air today with dignity and integrity. Most “journalists” are just influencers with stations scamming for free airwaves. Start charging for those free airwaves and see what happens.

Joseph Kaplan's avatar

Cronkite was a sanctimonious prick. I tried to never watch him

Mike H's avatar

If Cronkite is your hero you must have missed his coverage of the 1980 election returns. The man was clearly distraught at the Dems loss, very clearly showing his colors.

Joseph Kaplan's avatar

Many of the people reading this are probably too young to remember My Lai. It was a major battle in viet nam. We won but Cronkite repeated it as a massacre and worse. He turned the entire narrative about viet nam to a total loss. When LBJ chose not to run for a second term he blamed Cronkite for his lying reporting

dan brandt's avatar

It wasn't a war. It was a massacre of 300+ unarmed civilians.

https://armyhistory.org/my-lai/

Freedom Lover's avatar

You are referring to the Tet Offensive not Mai Lai. Mai Lai was a massacre of civilians.

Rick Gill's avatar

I think he’s talking about the Tet Offensive.

Joseph Kaplan's avatar

Yes. You’re right. I got my battles confused. After all it’s only been fifty or so years.

dan brandt's avatar

He could have been. I was to busy getting out of the military and finding the rest of my life. And no one said he was a robot. Just a much better anchor than anyone around today.

Eric R.'s avatar

Her reforms have been limited and slow. I expected bigger changes by now. She’s had a full year.

FuriousGreg's avatar

Have you ever had to clean out a packrat grandparent’s attic? In the summer, while they’re still alive? And the house is actually a plane in a dogflight.

That’s CBS, it’s going to take time.

Edited for clarity.

Steve's avatar

Donald Trump has the same problem. Too many republicans are not cooperating with him.

Diego Garcia's avatar

I can't prove it, but I'm fairly confident that DOGE got killed early due to intense pressure from Republican senators, congressional reps, and their donors who were all either personally profiting off a lot of misspent government money, or whose friends and family were profiting off misspent government money.

The neocons, in particular, loved USAID's regime change capacity building operations overseas.

The congressmen and senators just loved being able to get funding for bullshit NGOs that were run by or that employed their spouses and family members with large six figure salaries for do-nothing jobs.

Steve's avatar

So, anyway, tell me again why I should vote in November? For senate or the house. Governor, yeah I’ll vote for Stacy Garrity.

Steve's avatar

Then someone needs to expose those politicians.

Brian M's avatar

Bari can't blow up CBS News. She has to keep those ad $$ coming in or she will be gone herself. It is gentle, delicate surgery to remove the tumor

Urban Hermit's avatar

I would have loved to see this comment BEFORE it was edited. 😂

FuriousGreg's avatar

I just added the dogfight line 😉

FuriousGreg's avatar

Weiss’ goal is to depoliticize CBS not change sides. The resistance isn’t coming from her side it’s coming from entrenched hacks who made CBS political in the first place.

Firing people who hold critical positions and make hundreds of thousands or millions a year is not easy. Employment laws are one issue but the biggest problem is because you need experienced staff ready to hit the ground running and take over operations immediately.

My grandparent’s attic metaphor should have included: while on a plane in a dogflight.

FuriousGreg's avatar

That’s a matter of opinion and it has nothing to do with my comment.

The media is too politicized and polarized and is not serving the public well. If Weiss can purge the political extremism within CBS then we will be better off for it.

VicOfTheIE's avatar

Then they can fix fox entertainment and Newsmax.

VicOfTheIE's avatar

Such crap. One person owns many networks that are clearly changing and not in a good way.

Justin's avatar

Gosh, and here I was thinking this was a clickbait title, but when you put all that historical context in there, I realize, you're right! But killing CBS for the wrong reasons! If only there were a shred of journalistic integrity to be found in any mainstream media outlet! I say BRAVO to Bari Weiss! I think the mainstream media is not only angry at the betrayal, they're upset about the journalistic knife in the back which they so richly deserve. Wasn't there a REASON why Bari was brought in? Oh... declining viewership BECAUSE of journalistic lies and loss of trust?

I *DID* have to laugh at the the passing glance at "What's the frequency, Ken?" when you said, "These days, the media tunes in on Dan Rather’s frequency every now and then to lecture about how Bari Weiss is letting down the proud CBS News tradition of making up lies about Republicans to help elect Democrats. And Weiss insists on actually fact checking the lies."

If the media has only lies to rely on for business, then they don't stand for anything.

And they deserve to die. At least SOMEONE had cajones to try to get back to SOME semblance of journalistic integrity. Alas! A novel idea!

Disclaimer: I haven't watched mainstream media in nearly a decade. The news clips I see in a youtube review/blurb, or what I see if I happen to be at an airport, eating establishment, or before my inlaws died with Fox News on all the time, etc. just reinforces the correct decision to ditch the mainstream news. I had to laugh at the clip I saw of Newt Gingrich being shut down twice in one interview when he took a disparaging swipe at George Soros. He looked like he'd swallowed a bug. And Fox News' 2020 election coverage calling Arizona for Biden minutes after the close of elections... The fix was in. It was just maddening to see my inlaws swear Fox news was the truth. Gah.

Daniel Greenfield's avatar

Media just consists of zeroing in on a demographic ready to believe a certain set of lies and then feeding it to them

Justin's avatar

I wish I could say that was a comment made in sarcasm, but from the depth of the article and knowledge of insiders, I could probably guess you used to be (or still are) in the journalism/media field and have probably been in meetings with editors who shaped what was fed to the people and knew them well enough to know their motives.

I was a journalism student in high school in the early 80's, and had a teacher who pushed for, and expected hard facts. I started reading newspapers back then, blissfully unaware of agendas. It's just gotten so bad that I finally stopped my subscribing to them in my late 40's. And that was after a decade of holding my nose.

PAXPORT's avatar

My experience parallels your

Andy Withers's avatar

Hence, my reason for subscribing to The Epoch Times! Not only hard, well-researched news, but d*mned entertaining & enlightening!!!

Justin's avatar

Agreed. I was lucky enough to take advantage of a lifetime subscription deal that lasted about a week.

PKsweets's avatar

Exactly!

In ANY MSM outlet! That’s the key

Media have abdicated that role as the fourth Estate

There is no more journalism

They are the palace guard for the Democrats

I can’t recall it’s been such a while, but I think that’s what Rush Limbaugh 🙏🏼used to say so I don’t wanna take credit when it’s his words —but still applies

Yoga Shalom Shanti's avatar

I couldn’t read it all. This is 60 minutes that altered responses by Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris to make her look coherent. And you think Bari Weiss is destroying CBS News!

Eddie Edwards's avatar

No, she isn’t. She is bringing a balance to the reporting.

Brenton Baker's avatar

"Had Mike Wallace been the face of any other profession and tried to commit suicide after his lies were exposed, the takeaway would not have been “he was so brave for coping with depression”."

Given the coverage of Jason Arday, I'm not sure this is correct.

Mike Wallace was born a poor black boy

DB's avatar

The talent pool, if that's the right word, is mostly left wingers so she has to develop and discover some new staff closer to the center.

That takes time.

Because the operative word there is "Our." It's only "Democracy" if they win.
