This is embarrassing.

I’ve got decades of actual journalism experience (Bari has none, just journalism-adjacent) and I would have no business leading CBS News.

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."

“People who didn’t know they had insurance”????

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Dr Oz: "Some of the reasons that premiums are going up is because if you take people who didn't know they had insurance and therefore never put in any claims off the rolls, then you still have people who are charging enough to make up the difference. But I do think there are criminal elements."

I had lunch with and interviewed Katey when MWC just started.

“Well, I have to start with Peggy’s look — “

“Of course you do! That’s the best part!”

She was charming and down-to-earth.

Haven’t really talked about it but undiagnosed acid reflux earned me a middle of the night ambulance ride and a night in the hospital last year.

Did you know the acid could go past your throat and into your eardrums, losing your entire sense of balance? Me either.

RevMelanieNOLA @revmelanienola.bsky.social · 6d

Acid reflux 😈: You want to have insomnia? Burps that burn your throat? Throw up? Cramps? Diarrhea?
Me: No I don’t want any of that! None of it! I just wanna sleep!
😈: Haha you thought it was a choice? You get ALL of it!

It was kind of cool when she busted out “Bad Romance” at Cat’s Meow karaoke, but dancing on the bar at Coyote Ugly and whipping her bra at the crowd disrespected her station.

Can we give up the fiction that, golly, farmers just HATE taking federal subsidies? They take it by the billions every year.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6d

Joni Ernst: "Unfortunately, our farmers do need that assistance. They don't like it. They consider it welfare. They want trade, not aid. So we really need to see some of these new markets opening up around the globe ... but if there's anybody that can make a deal, it's President Trump."

It was a dirtbag teenage Westbank teen splitting a cig with his pregnant girlfriend.

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.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.
