That photograph of Weiss they use - the one with the hand gestures - makes her look just as she is: the person in the meeting who knows exactly what words will impress the boss, but otherwise has never had an original thought, and lacks even a trainee secretary's basic administrative skill.

“concerns”
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…

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

The 2024 election was a basically a test of America's survival instincts. It did not pass.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

It's profoundly different to cover a U.S. president than state or local officials, and too, much harder to vent publicly if you're female. But if in my reporting days, if anyone from a police sergeant to the mayor of Baltimore told me, "Quiet, piggy," I'd immediately insist he go fuck himself.

Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

See, religious liberty really only means white Christians.
The Supreme Court appeared unconvinced that a devout Rastafarian whose dreadlocks were forcibly cut in prison five years ago should be able to sue correction officials for damages.
