Good post on Bari Weiss and CBS
Bari Weiss is not a journalist. She is a propagandist with a journalist’s title. She has an agenda. She has interests. And they align with the interests of those who think keeping the current regime in charge of our national affairs is theirs. It is why she brings the reactionary fraud Niall Ferguson to CBS: to lend the appearance of intellectual heft to what is, in fact, a project of epistemological sabotage.
and
When she says CBS is not producing “a product that enough people want,” she means: CBS journalists are reporting what they observe, and what they observe contradicts the story that MAGA audiences have been told by their preferred media. The “product” those audiences want is validation of their constructed narrative. And CBS journalists, by doing their jobs, are failing to provide it.
Weiss’s solution is not to improve the journalism. It is to corrupt it.
