New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

The Chicago tribune editorial board gives a big wet kiss to opinion writer Bari Weiss and trump’s partisan takeover of CBS News. This is embarrassing, even for them www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/09/b...

Editorial: From The Free Press to CBS, Weiss’ principles are stellar journalistic ideals

The common thread here is a belief that the public deserves the right to make up its own mind, and it’s our job to help them do it.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.
