I'm late to this masterpiece by @lopatto.bsky.social but it's a series of darts sticking Bari Weiss to the bullseye. A totally different viewpoint on why she's been put in charge of CBS News and why she will regret that forever👏👏👏👏👏 www.theverge.com/business/793...

Memo to Bari Weiss Re: CBS News: You’re doomed

Bari Weiss has sold her company, The Free Press, to manage the decline of broadcast news at CBS. How many ways can it go wrong?

This is because Trump is LYING

He is telling LIES to provide excuses to injure, terrify, and kill Americans

He is a LIAR

It is all Trump DOES:

He LIES

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

There is no greater cowardice in news than what we at @espn used to call "Roy Firestone disease" highlighted by phrases akin to "SOME PEOPLE SAY" or "YOUR CRITICS BELIEVE"

Organizations that hide behind it, like this @semafor.com serve no function but stenography and whitewashing

OTOH it's usually whitewashed from history that after Murrow's shows on McCarthy, "See It Now" was scrapped as a weekly series and Murrow never again anchored a regularly scheduled CBS News primetime show in his life

There are a million kinds of obnoxious fans but the first of these is this backwards-cap mook at the Dodger Stadium who has been trying to get other fans to stand as if he were in charge of fandom #SitTheFDownMook

Then there's Beauty Pageant Contestant (she won "Miss Uncongeniality) and TrumpAss sorta-lawyer Lindsay Halligan, who has signed her freedom away by putting her name on the Comey and James bullshit - presumably in exchange for free hair styling

Poor Pam Bondi

First the Comey Soon-To-Be-Dismissed-Indictment, now the Tish James Soon-To-Be-Dismissed Indictment

Blondie never knows if Trump's illegal and threatening orders to her will be made in private or on social media
