It is no one's responsibility to give the president of CBS News, who was installed in the role by an ideological ally of the president despite only ever being a takeslinger for her entire career, the benefit of the doubt.
The Bari Weiss hysteria continues. Exactly what in "this piece isn't ready" and "try harder to get comment from the administration" constitutes the death of American journalism? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

This might sound reasonable to people, but it means the White House can spike investigative journalism by simply not commenting.
CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

I love both of those comedians and think this is nonsense?
Josh Johnson turning out speed of light political comedy that’s thoughtful and wise
Mike Birbiglia’s specials are truly works of art
Every word John Mulaney says is funny?
Iliza Schlesinger is an incredible dissector of misogynist myths

there is no excuse for the bills having zero outside receiver involvement in their passing game. lots of teams in the league get more outside production from worse players. josh palmer is literally half as productive this season as he’s ever been in LA. it’s a comprehensive failure from joe brady

Mack Hollins just made a better catch than literally any Bills receiver has made all season.
He'd be a good guy to have on the roster. Bills should look into him ...
