Two problems with this frantic "The story wasn't ready" statement are 1) When a story isn't ready, you know it days, sometimes weeks in advance, not hours and 2) Bari Weiss' idea of how "to do more" has already been made public, and it was to call Stephen Miller. In short, she's lying.
NEW: Bari Weiss addresses her decision to hold last night's CECOT story on the CBS News morning editorial call: "Our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else..."

Replace "Islam" with "Judaism" or "Christianity"
Replace "Islamists" with "Jewists" or "Christianists"
Replace "Caliphate" with "Rabbis" or "Papacy"

Tell me such hate directed at Jews or Christians would be acceptable? Of course it wouldn't. And it shouldn't be for Muslims either. Yet here we are.

If Benoit Blanc is such a great detective, why hasn’t he noticed these are all the same guy

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

If only there were a cautionary tale about being too eager to accept the apparent time-saving capabilities of new technology.
