Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Happy Monday, Raleigh! City offices will be closed December 24-26 for the Christmas holiday. If you have Thursday or Friday curbside trash/recycle/yard waste service, it will be delayed by one day. Have a wonderful holiday! |

Whether it's a low-level Biden staffer asking Facebook to correct some COVID misinformation or Donald Trump's right-hand man telling CBS to kill segment about ICE sending people to torture prisons, both sides have sought to limit free expression.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.
