Correction “Neoconservative Journalist”.
Weiss is not a conservative, she’s just not a marxist lunatic that is basically all of mainstream media.
20 years ago she’d be considered on the left, and even today she’s at best a centrist.
“Winning”........................
Megyn Kelly talked about this the other day.
Someone leaked that Megyn was the one being picked up by CBS.
Total fabrication.
Will this be a real conservative like Rob Finnerty and Rob Schmitt at Newsmax or a “conservative” like the Trup-hating David Brooks of the New York Times?
This is BIG; it’ll be interesting to see how many CBS News people douse themselves in gasoline and light a match. But Bari Weiss is not a conservative. She’s a pretty liberal gal who was always interested in doing real reporting, listening to all sides, and engaging in civil discussion. She was therefore ostracized at the NYT, resigned with one of the all-time great opus letters, and went independent.
She’s an honest liberal who got red pilled. The interesting question is always how far along the long and winding path to the right she will get, but she’s open to discussion. Which means, come the revolution, she’ll be stood up in front of the wall with the rest of us ... and she knows it.
Weiss is not Conservative. She’s an old school Liberal. Which means she does actually value truth and is willing to actually allow people to present a different point of view without automatically labelling them fascist/Nazi.
I suppose this is better than what they had but I don’t expect real significant change in the slant of the news.
There is a big difference betwenn the two. She is certainly not a conservative either though. She is a holdover from a dwindling sect of Americans that have all but become exticnt. A thinking liberal that is still able to communicate & debate with conservatives that she now suddenly finds she shares more in common with than she will ever share with the radical woke leftist militants.
I appauud the move, but do not confuse her as being a conservative, because that is not the case at all.
“conservative” 😀
When your resume includes the New York Times, then you are no conservative.
That said, Ellison is the boss and I think he interested in the bottom line.
And a liberal news division is not profitable.
CBS News is SO EXTREME maybe she can change the direction a bit because it probably can not go much further Marxist.
I am optimistic there will be some change but I not optimistic it will much change, a baby step in the right direction.
Not only is she not conservative but if you saw her on the Rogan podcast she is dumb as a box of rocks. She is clearly being hired as a figurehead.
Actions speak louder than words or resume.
Clean up 60 minutes left wing agenda
Fire Gayle King
Hire a known conservative to lead the nightly news
Bari Weiss is not conservative. But she is a free speech stalwart which is considerably better than the leftist drones that control most media operations.
