Bari Weiss' biggest challenge at CBS News is the unprecedented dominance of David Muir at ABC, writes @michaelsocolow.bsky.social. And yes, as I tell my students, everything — everything — goes back to Richard Nixon. linttrapofhistory.substack.com/p/bari-weiss...

Bari Weiss's Greatest Challenge at CBS

It's not the Murrow-Cronkite Legacy. It's not the newsrooms & bureaus filled with journalists more experienced than her. It's not the scale of the operation. It's David Muir's incredible dominance.

Well, I would suggest that if you know the president, that was probably a facetious remark.

Richard M. Nixon @dicknixon.bsky.social · 19d

THE PRESIDENT: He's gathering the generals to machine gun them, isn't he.

A SENIOR MILITARY OFFICER: No comment.

I understand Keyshawn Nixon on the Packers has no relation to @dicknixon.bsky.social. May need @ronziegler.bsky.social to verify

President Nixon will no longer include Business Insider in his daily reading/research, and he will not respond to their coverage or to questions from their reporters.

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 28d

Scoop: Business Insider informed its staff this week that they are allowed to use ChatGPT to generate first drafts of their stories, while also indicating the newsroom will not disclose such A.I. use to readers.

Business Insider and the Bots

The Axel Springer-owned newsroom is buzzing over new ChatGPT writing guidelines—part of an aggressive A.I. strategy pushed by its German parentco and detailed in a memo obtained by Status.

President Nixon's voice and writing style are inimitable. As with any public figure he does employ writers, but he takes care in ensuring their work enhances his own, and never distracts from it. Where other voices are heard - as in analysis of Sec. Rubio - they act with his input and approval.

Richard M. Nixon @dicknixon.bsky.social · Sep 1

They never could write for him. He's impossible to write for.

President Nixon's phlebitis is managed through a combination of over-the-counter medication, exercise, and occasional elevation of his leg while working. bsky.app/profile/wmj3...

At least he doesn’t have the phlebitis.

President Nixon does not engage in gambling or games of chance. If he did it would be purely private and for amusement's sake.

President Nixon last appeared on MSNBC in August 2024. Their name change is their own affair and does not imply coordination or association with this office.

President Nixon has to my knowledge not commented on my lips in public or private. If he did it would be his prerogative to do so. But I assume they are satisfactory in that they form words which comment on his behalf and with his approval.

President Nixon said this in 1967. He has not changed his opinion.

The trouble with Buckley and those types is they don't give a damn about anybody.

President Nixon has this morning received multiple solicitations from citizens referring him to an organization that encourages people to "run for something." He is not a candidate for public office, and has no plans to become one, but he remains fully engaged in public life.

President Nixon’s phlebitis is under control. He is in remarkable health and requires little sleep.

I previously left President Nixon's service to assume the presidency of the National Association of Truck Stop Operators. Some time ago I returned to this more fulfilling role, where I am proud to continue.

President Nixon maintains files of general correspondence, research, etc. Due to his capacious memory he rarely has cause to refer to them.

I have apologized to President Nixon regarding my recent remarks on a news matter. It is an honor to represent President Nixon exclusively, and I now resume that responsibility.
