You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

Bari Weiss speaks about wanting to have "contentious disagreements" on news stories

But Sharyn Alfonsi said that when she found out Weiss was killing the 60 Minutes story about CECOT, Weiss refused to discuss it

That's not honest journalism

It's catering to a political agenda

The MAGA agenda

"Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now – after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one."

“Bari Weiss Framed”—Likely CBS headline
PELLEY TO WEISS: “It’s not a part-time job.” 🔥

ALFONSI TO WEISS: “Disagreement requires discussion.” 🔥

Bari getting dragged by her own team. #CBSNewsMAX

After months of trying to conduct oversight of Broadview Processing Center, I finally gained access.

The conditions are inhumane.

We must hold DHS and Secretary Noem accountable for the pain and terror they are inflicting in our communities.

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support.

Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand:

Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension

Bari Weiss censoring 60 Minutes to protect Trump is EXACTLY why she was hired. Larry Ellison runs CBS since he funded the purchase. See photo below of Larry with Trump. It's why Trump agreed to let Larry buy Tik Tok. It will be right wing propoganda on issues from US politics to Middle East

If you missed the 60 Minutes story about human rights abuses of CECOT, because Bari Weiss pulled it, you can still read what the government is doing here. Thanks Ms Weiss for bringing this to national attention. Now we know what you don't what the public to know. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The power, a public utility, went out. So the traffic lights, a public law regulating shared behavior, went out. So the Waymos, a private taxi service, failed.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yes, this is a real government ad…

“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?”

In a country built on centuries of actual discrimination, the EEOC is using civil rights language to insulate white male mediocrity from competition.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.
