A truly fair news outlet does not myopically focus on antisemitism while ignoring the dismantling of rights protections for Black people, anti-trans and homophobic attacks, anti-Muslim bigotry and other forms of hate. @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy will deservedly fail if it does not learn that lesson.

The toxicity spread by Barstool Sports doesn't justify hate attacks on its owner, but does justify critical questioning. Example: Does being the target of antisemitism cause you to reconsider what you are platforming on your shows? If Tony Dokoupil asked this, I don't see the answer.

The planned hiring of right-wing hack Bari Weiss a CBS News senior exec will complete the Trumpification of the news division. Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite and Mike Wallace—exemplars of speaking unvarnished truth to power—would not be able to contain their fury if they were alive today.

The upshot of Trump's reckless budget bill: We will continue to be blindsided by climate changes and resulting weather events. A few billionaires will be even richer, but all of us are in harm's way—and some will suffer cataclysmic consequences.

Texas Republicans were adequately warned that the Trump administration's cuts to the National Weather Service pushed by DOGE would degrade the quality of weather forecasts, with potentially fatal results. But Trump's Bad Butt-Ugly Budget bill enshrines cuts to forecasting and climate research.
