watching a baking show in which the bakers don't know what saffron or rosewater are, and then don't like them when tasted ... islamophobia

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

Exclusive | CBS News taps Adam Rubenstein — once ostracized at NY Times for liking Chick-fil-A — as new deputy editor

Sources expect Rubenstein will effectively run the Free Press now that Weiss will be busy steering the editorial direction of shows like “60 Minutes,” “Face The Nation” and …

the problem with every modern sports phenomena is that Danny McBride already mocked it perfectly with Eastbound and Down, a series completely tapped into the inherent ludicrousness of professional athleticism and pageantry

okay, just discovered that, for now, that Wednesday is OBAA’s last day on IMAX 70mm at Vaughan

being fully replaced by Tron: Ares

so if you were still trying to see the movie on film in Toronto, you’ve got a couple more days

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

For @vulture.com I talked to Emilia Jones about some of her most intense TASK scenes, dubious casseroles, and what it took to get into character for the show, from the accent to the haircut.

Following this week’s episode, the actress explains why Maeve had to make that decision about Sam.

Bari Weiss signs huge deal to usher CBS News into its Vichy era: defector.com/bari-weiss-s...

The Ellisons and the rest of the billionaire class don't need the aerodynamic drag of association with fringier right-wing stuff; they want the prestige and lubricity of affiliation with important, elite institutions. That's the value proposition of the Ivy-incubated, Wall Street Journal and New York Times veteran Weiss: obsequiousness to power and capital without any of the wacky stuff, the imprimatur of elite consensus unburdened by any inconvenient commitment to reporting on the business of powerful people. What does this look like in practical terms?

NEW inside CBS—

Staff are insulted executives will spend $150 million to buy The Free Press & make self-proclaimed “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief, while many of them are set to be laid off.

“If I wrote 90 percent of what’s on The Free Press, I would get flagged and fired,” one says.

‘What the F**k?’ CBS News Insiders Prepare for Takeover by Self-Described ‘Zionist Fanatic’

Bari Weiss is expected to be announced as editor-in-chief of CBS News, as employees worry her new role will bring a pro-Israel bias, more censorship, and lower editorial standards.

Never do stuff like this, but if any editors I follow want to publish my funny, embarsssing story of meeting Marc Maron when I was 19 years old that easily doubles as a WTF remembrance, please get in touch. It has an arc and everything.
