People, I'm BEGGING you:

If you are going to share that leaked 60 minutes segment, INCLUDE SOME COMMENTARY in your post that makes it necessary for readers to have access to the full video to understand the commentary. CBS has a deep black eye over this and the odds that they'll look to punish ppl

It's important to remember that, in these arrangements, neither the government nor the owners of the media orgs care whether those put in charge of the media orgs are unethical, incompetent, or run them into the ground by losing all their audience. No one cares, as long as they get quiescence.
Wash Post, CBS News, next CNN?, etc are not money makers. The owners give the Trumpists what they want and get favorable treatment for their other businesses in exchange. Owners make money that way. The regime wants quiescence. No one in this exchange cares if the outlets have audience or profits.

He’s gilded the entire White House, slapped his name on both the Kennedy Center and Institute for Peace, installed a new Trump Gold Card, and now proposing a new “Trump class” of naval vessels.

Trump's DOJ is trying to overturn D.C.'s ban on assault weapons ... while claiming to be SO concerned about crime in the District that it must flood our streets with National Guard troops.

I think a president worried about D.C. crime would not be trying to arm criminals with especially lethal guns?
BREAKING: The Trump administration is suing D.C. over its ban on semi-automatic (AR-15) weapons.

DOJ's Civil Rights Division under Harmeet Dhillon is seeking a court ruling that D.C.'s law "prohibiting registration of the AR-15 by law-abiding citizens violates the Second Amendment."

This is why I keep harping on about her. There are lots of shitty, unethical journalists. Plenty of people have had affairs with politicians.

But this affair knocked over a set of dominoes that set public health back 50 years. Children will die of preventable diseases because of her.

While I was at Esquire, a Bari Weiss-like exec killed a story a colleague and I reported for a year. Much of the senior Esquire staff sacrificed their jobs fighting for that story. As one editor put it: “This isn’t about killing a story; it’s about suppressing the truth.” This is what CBS is doing.

I think it’s pretty likely Bari Weiss quits far sooner than anyone expects because if there’s anything we learned from her tenure at the New York Times it’s that this lady hates working, absolutely despises it, and she probably had to send like four emails today
