Bari Weiss intervenes in CBS Sunday Morning Palestine segment
Bari Weiss intervened in a CBS Sunday Morning West Bank segment, and interviewee Zaid Azhari says the program deceptively edited his remarks. Zeteo reported that Weiss made last-minute edits to the piece, and a CBS insider said Weiss has never previously jumped into Sunday Morning editorial decisions. Azhari emailed CBS News producer Sari Aviv that he was "deeply troubled by my portrayal and the omission of key facts." The dispute matters because it raises questions about editorial control and how reporting portrays Israeli-Palestinian realities for a mainstream U.S. audience.
NEW in Ragebait: A Palestinian guide who was interviewed for a 'CBS Sunday Morning' story complained to the network that he was "deceptively edited" to falsely portray his comments. Sources told me that Bari Weiss "meddled" with the piece, making last-minute edits. zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...
“Bari found out about the story and made changes to the script. She has never jumped in editorially on a ‘Sunday Morning’ story until this one,” one CBS insider said, while a network reporter noted that “this piece is the first time she’s pulled like a CECOT on the show.” zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...
Weiss' exit letter will say something like "We were dedicated to reporting the truth, but there was too much internal and external resistance to realize our goals". Translated- "Our attempt at blatant propaganda was immediately identified as BULLSHIT".
It’s time for guests to start boycotting CBS too, just as their viewers have done.
Anyone expecting a fair shake from Larry Ellison’s propaganda organ is a fool.
If they continue down this path, they should see numbers fall drastically when they infuriate 60 Minutes and Sunday Morning watchers. Please remember to comment on Facebook and YouTube Tube.
