He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

In 2022, Bari Weiss ran this viral first-person piece by a top Levi’s executive. She claimed she was hounded out of the company because of her vocal stance on COVID restrictions.
There are no quotes from the company. Or her colleagues.
Not even a “no comment.”

Her whole thing is “No, it is the executives who are actually oppressed.”
Once you view any decision she makes through that lens, everything makes sense, including how she’s gotten to where she is.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

Bari Weiss's Counter-Journalistic Crusade Targets "60 Minutes"
The new editor-in-chief at CBS News has shown she's not merely stupendously unqualified--she's ideologically opposed to the practice of good journalism.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The primary long-term foreign policy goal of Putin for decades has been to separate the US from a united Europe militarily, economically, & diplomatically, breaking up NATO in the process. This Trump admin is what he’s been waiting for, but he would love a Vance admin even more.
