Bari Weiss, not a journalist, is running one of the most storied news orgs away from the exploration of truth and into the arms of right wing grievance. It is her brand, and now CBS News's brand.
She's a right-wing content marketer who doesn't require standards bc she's creating ads for GOP.

Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.

When Trump appointed Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel I said that the UK and EU needed to start limiting intelligence sharing.
The Netherlands recently announced that they're doing just that.
Germany is pulling away from US tech and military dependence.

It’s not empathy if your primary goal is to put the least amount of effort into making someone behave in a way that makes you comfortable.
And permanently makes them honor you as a savior
So you can get wealthy enough to have what you don’t think they deserve

Remember this when you see men downplaying gambling.
“The consequences extend beyond lost money. Hazardous gambling is correlated with increased rates of anxiety and depression, and young men who engage in it are more likely to slide into a full-blown gambling addiction. Boys who frequently gamble miss more classes, perform worse in school”
The rise of sports betting is a growing public health crisis
Sports betting is more addictive than ever, and millions of young Americans are paying the price.

There's a book to be written on the places these companies choose. Meta and Amazon are not investing tens of billions in North Louisiana because they respect the local population. Quite the opposite. And they prefer that there's no critical local journalism or anyone to write that book.
Microsoft and Google say data centers will create thousands of jobs in Chile, but an analysis of permit filings by @restofworld.org shows only a small number of potential positions — and most are not skilled IT jobs, but those in security and cleaning. restofworld.org/2025/data-ce...
