Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

That quote is not out of context, the full version is worse.

“Then obviously the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look, how do they look compare to, say, you?” he said to the reporter, a tall, middle-aged man of Anglo descent.

I know enough English to know that your original post implied that Uncommitted was a way of undermining Harris in the general election.

Why would you speak so confidently about something you don't know, and then leave the false information up after it's been corrected?
