Bari Weiss is the boss now, so of course we will get fluff and stuff from @cbsnews.com now.

Yeah Cheryl, none of our lives will be the same with antivaxxers in charge. Worried about polio and measles making a comeback. Turning off CBS news now. Can see the Bari Weiss difference already. 🥴🤮 #cbsnewsSucks

Things are bad. Bari Weiss—a minor opinion editor at the Wall St. Journal, then a minor opinion editor at the New York Times who canceled herself because no one else thought she was important enough to cancel, then the founder of a fake college and a fake media company—has just been handed the job of editor in chief at CBS News. According to an obsequious New York Times tongue bath by Jessica Testa, Weiss “ascended the mountain of journalism on a slingshot” which I guess is one way to describe failing upward for a decade by charming a series of influential conservative men at cocktail parties while never producing a single worthwhile piece of work. Peter Shamshiri wrote the short version of why this is a black joke on all of American media:

Bari Weiss becoming head of the news division at CBS does not just tarnish the legacy of Murrow and Cronkite, it tarnishes the legacy of fucking Hee Haw.

Great news for Bari Weiss! A scoop about a new CBS head of news who wrote a note to staff that looks exactly like what ChatGPT might use. A Pulitzer's in the... wait what's that I'm hearing?

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

it is interesting to me how the MAGA right has a balkanized view of the United States that does not, at all, correspond with the reality of the United States

The Democrats need to empower messengers that the establishment is scared of, people who don’t delight megadonors. Democrats need to stake their claims on a set of strong beliefs, and see if Americans will follow. They need to stop being lawyerly and timid.
