Rather than this justify yourself nonsense that treats adults like children, the correct question to ask to spur innovation and make people feel like they have a stake in transformation: What do you WANT to make? The onus is on the leaders to inspire and challenge and ask.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

One thing remains a constant: conservative or note, Marc A. Thiessen remains profoundly untalented and an exhausting nit.

Coincidentally, this is what @profgalloway.com — not a journalist — says to me before every @pivotpod.bsky.social except he just wants to talk about news ABOUT fucking and dick jokes inevitably follow. Same idea, I guess.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

What a traitor to her job at AG. Also her unsupported slagging of @reidhoffman.bsky.social, to take focus off of Trump (Epstein’s actual pal) should get her a defamation lawsuit.

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

Not to be a pedant but Bari Weiss was a junior editor who occasionally wrote opinion pieces in the opinion section, not a columnist.
