If Ms. Weiss turns around CBS News, more power to her. Since she has no experience running any news organization besides an online hit show after stomping away from the Times, my money is on the hunch that 18 months from now, about March 1, 2028, the Ellisons will hand her the pink slip because their ever-increasing debt from this year's media purchases combined with her failure to right the sinking CBS News ship is forcing them to trim back or else lose it all. And Bari will, no doubt, blame the anti-semites. Of course, it runs in that side of politics. "I'm infallible." Certainly. Is that a mustard stain on your slacks?

Why haven't hey caught the Mayor murdering Jewish New Yorkers yet? It's almost like he's just phoning his evil in.

Isn't it fascinating that all these left wing men--especially the non-white ones--are so intelligent and charismatic and so very, very good at talking to people? Isn't it equally fascinating that all the white right-wing men are so extremely threatened by this, especially when you take into account their approach seems to be kicking and screaming and pouting when they don't get their way?

she is screwing up so badly, even her loving billionaires will not save her. Frankly, it is a story being repeated a lot . . . . except within the walls of C-BS.

When history is written of this episode of ridiculousness, all praise will be for the leakers

They have done so very much! Keep it up, leakers! Leak like the tapes we know moscow is holding!

As an aside, as far as I can tell, no Republicans are scrambling to distance themselves from Loomer or denounce her over this (other than Marjorie Taylor Greene, though that is likely only because she and Loomer have ongoing beef to begin with),

BEEF! HA! I see whatcha did there......

Well played......Bravo !!!

Bari Weiss! CBS used to be a pretty good NEWS org. Like all, they've had their ups and downs but had some good journalists doing a good job.

Then along comes Donnie the Pig and the so called FCC and Bari Weiss.

Ellison. Ellison is the problem with CBS.

The right wing take over of all media is going pretty well for them

I agree, but not for long. They love money too much. losing it constantly is not something good.

CBS: Columbia Bullshitting System

Is this the same CBS who is acting as if Tony Romo was caught sexually abusing small animals, instead of driving under the influence? The same Tony Romo whose sports broadcasting career is apparently in doubt.

CBS' priorities are seriously wack.

Omg he hates America! Vote for guy who says he loves it instead. Also, criticizing israel is hate crime go to jail

Criticizing Israeli leadership for the mass slaughter of civilians is not the same as criticizing Israel.

Some of hard rightists want that to be criminal but still hate jews. Both sides

Maybe's avatar

Of course a lot of hard rightists seem to be looking forward to the Apocalypse, which is not expected to turn out well for Jews.

Mike Rogers is clearly losing now, which I didn't expect but the Republicans are self-sabotaging. I noted in earlier posts that Rogers himself steered cleared of Islamophobia (attacking El-Sayed rather on grounds that he's "dangerous" because he said police shouldn't shoot as many people and maybe we should imprison fewer people, etc.) and seemingly got the national Republicans who were spewing that kind of stuff to cut it out-- but then he brings in J.D. Vance whose remarks were nakedly bigoted. His latest ads stress that he played football and his dad coached football and he and his wife are fans of rivals MSU and U-M, while El-Sayed said football was dominated by "toxic masculinity"; and this kind of "I'm a regular guy and he's a trendy-lefty" might play well, but the first version of the football ad had a line "...while they stand for men in women's sports" which quickly got cut out of the ad when perhaps it dawned on Rogers that this is no longer an applause line and hurts him with everyone who is not already a locked-in-MAGA voter.

Hey Laura Looney, which Democrats campaigned with Hasan Piker?

Any time I read "raised questions for a lot of people", my bullshit meter goes to 11.

Exactly. The vague but ominous "they".

And nary a mention of the Nazi working for Mike Rogers.

I read there was a Nazi and a KKKlansman -- do these dudes have "given" names?

Because they need to be identified
