Bari Weiss hires British journalists at CBS News
CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.
BeijingPalmer508alternately you must convince her that the problem is that she hasn't put herself on TV *enough*, the public is clamoring to see follow-ups to her sitdown with Erika Kirk. whenever Bari isn't on TV all the other anchors should be asking 'where's Bari'
Dr Surekha Davies, Historical Monster Consultant (she/her)46From your post to @ichotiner.bsky.social's ears!
Nathan Kalmoe (he/him)35He’s a very good listener.
Wonkish17I didn’t get enough sleep, so just imagine Weiss as Tobias Fünke talking to Lindsay about doing an interview with Chotiner.
Thebazilly14Oh please please please 🙏
Brandon Baumgartner11Lord, I don't ask for much...
Ana Marie Cox200Making me feel really good about never listening to “The Daily.”
Helen Kennedy48Damnit. Got there first bsky.app/profile/beij...
Allison Good5If this happens, broadcast it and show it in movie theaters
Rich Seviora3plz god I’ve been so good this year and I ask for so little
Sharon Z2Give the people (of Bluesky) what they want (schadenfreude)
Peter2IC: so you say you’re against cancel culture BW: oh yes, yes absolutely IC: and yet immediately after taking over CBS you engaged in an ideological purge and blocked airing of reporting on Trump administration policies?
DILLON: “Bari Weiss is taking over CNN now— and has isolated herself on the 6th floor of CBS, with guards.” Tim tells Rogan Bari’s loyalty to 🇮🇱 is behind her takeover of CBS/CNN to help Trump, saying it’s not antisemitic to question motives of pro-🇮🇱 donors Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DaCHX1e...
The Subsequent Mrs. de Winter18Those guards aren't going to help her when the folk she has aligned herself with start rounding up the gays and the Jews.
Doremus Jessup14Joe Rogan is an unfunny fucking moron who nods a lot but that other guy scores some points.
UniversalHealthcare13Why would they want to lie about ICE murdering innocent Americans? Because that is her job as a fascist propagandist selling Trump's lies. And I think Rogen knows it and is complicit. He is playing dumb to try and have some plausible deniability for supporting fascism.
Wednesday2849I swear to God, she can’t possibly be in charge of CNN too! Boycott CBS and Paramount!
Jinx8Because of the people that own the distribution of information, the revolution will not be televised... youtu.be/vwSRqaZGsPw?...
Jinx5"... And when you trust your television / What you get is what you got / 'Cause when they own the information, oh / They can bend it all they want" - John Mayer "Waiting for the World to Change"
i can think of no finer summary for michael barbaro's career than that it's the safest space for bari weiss
Don House7*in the most annoying and condescending vocal tone you have ever heard in your fucking life* "hmmm"
David 29 Sunset4It makes a certain amount of sense that his job would be kind of like that for his nyt colleagues, but ffs I'd be ashamed to be identified as an ideal softball interviewer for people trying to rehab their public images.
missingjigsaw.bsky.social2Michael Barbero's podcast is dangerous and unacceptable.
Why read @nytimes.com (Ross Douthat), when you can get the same crap from Bari Weiss & the Heritage Foundation? 1/
Jenny Cohn262/ This guy. Seriously, wtf? bsky.app/profile/rexh...
anima1.bsky.social7This woman began her career in a Rape crisis center??? but thinks rape is basically a product of male biology is the most sexist thing I’ve ever heard. So rape isn’t about power anymore but sex drive in this learned woman’s mind. Save yourself for a husband!! A rehash of mid 90’s anti feminism.
Candy England6Feminism? It was a long, hard struggle to gain women’s rights. It wasn’t just “feminists”. It was almost all women. Single and married. Childless and with children. Many of us had no real connection to “feminism”
Krisi 🏳️⚧️3Ross Douthat really hates women.
Susan2Douthat is always disappointing~ with an utter lack of intellectual curiosity. He rarely hosts guests who don’t conform to his worldview. You have already posted about his Thiel interview, followed up by the fawning JD piece.
I don’t think people are wrong when they say that billionaires are happy to drive news outlets into the ground if they get a propaganda benefit but it does make it a lot easier to say “this billionaire is obviously wanting a propaganda outlet” as Bari Weiss loses more viewers without losing her job
Brendel117The problem with being a bullshitter is that eventually at some distant point you might actually have to do the work and be revealed as a fraud but I kind of wish that point could be reached before they get all the money and power
Dr. Brian O'blivion2She should sit down with that Isaac Chotiner fellow; with each interview he seems to reveal each subject's own inner elegance of thought.
Dr. J. Franklin Williamson2Something of a “visible hand,” despite all of conservatives’ hand-wringing about the lack of the invisible hand in mainstream media, eh?
Oaf of Rugged Collectivism Sean1Interesting, all the reactionary conservative news outlets are "loss leaders" for capitalism, so fully commit to the bit while MLM has to "make money" and "satisfy investors". Traditionally loss leaders like the Corvette brings people into the showroom to buy a Equinox. We're required to buy BS.
Dave Against The Machine🏴1The problem is that when Bari Weiss talks to anyone who isn’t an okd rich white man they are immediately repulsed by her. Ive seen her past interviews
Bari Weiss seeks British journalists to add to her “diversity of opinion” by selecting a group of people who agree exactly with her www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Mic Wright33She proposes to deal with “groupthink” by getting together a group who think all the same bat shit things she does.
Metal Gear Solidarity7she should hire brendan o'niell then he'd fucking leave
Ben Plouviez4…with a different accent. That’s diversity!
leearizuno.bsky.social2"Diverse" and "heterodox" meaning "adding a British accent to make the same old sound classy to our jaded base for maybe five minutes."
The list of UK figures contacted by Weiss is 😂. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Chaminda Jayanetti32Would be brilliant if she took Webb off Today
cabinetstories.bsky.social7"Asked about why she was recruiting British journalists, one ally also pointed out they were generally cheaper than their US counterparts."
Dr Nick Dickinson3You can see exactly how this happens to someone like Weiss. There are tons of Americans she could hire with the exact same politics, but they wouldn’t launder it with the kind of accented sophistication you need to convince yourself you aren’t just a reactionary.
mike3Very kind of her to take out the trash
Erica Wagner2"generally cheaper than their US counterparts"
Ehijacked 📎1Phillips and Murray? Tells you all you need to know. Good riddance to them both.
Thomas I-G51Oh no. Bari, please don't take Justin Webb. That would be awful. Just awful.
Sharon46by all means, ship all of the idiot pundits out of the UK into America, at least we can make one country's mediasphere sane
RobPatch15How do we convince her to take them all to America?
Jamie K5gotta say she's doing us a favour here. Maybe she could take that puppydog Chris Mason too.
eke4the entire destruction of US media has been spearheaded by british and australian fascists. british men effectively control multiple formerly independent papers.
Huw C. Davies4Guardian article describes Kisin as a “libertarian” podcaster. 🤔
Simon Lester3This part was kind of funny: "Asked about why she was recruiting British journalists, one ally also pointed out they were generally cheaper than their US counterparts."
Patrick Osgood2Incredible clown roster. By all means take them out of British media and put them in a freak creche so we can more easily ignore them
