In other words, it doesn't particularly matter whether she knows how to do the boring work of running a TV news network. Her role will be to pick her issues (like, say, Israel) and enforce ideological conformity, with everyone understanding she reports directly to the top.

The notion that Bari will be "running CBS News" is slightly misleading. What the reporting suggests is that Tom Cibrowski, a guy with normal qualifications, will be doing that. Bari will be Emperor Ellison's Vader-esque enforcer, outside the chain of command, intervening at will.

I’ve always been unBritish m8

KEIR Starmer has urged students not to protest on the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks.
The Prime Minister branded protests planned at universities across the UK "un-British".
Around 1200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage in the deadly attacks on Israel by Hamas in 2023.
Writing in The Times, Starmer described protests set to take place at universities on Tuesday as "un-British", claiming they show a lack of respect for others.

early on with few studies i very much had an "i do not know how this impacts an economy" take (though mine were less "it will make people lazy" reasons than "infusions of money can have strange outcomes" reasons) but every single study is constantly like "no yeah it's good actually, it works"
