Careful re: Bari Weiss.

In a recent video, she was lumping Trump & Reagan with the crazy leftists saying they’re all the same.

At least she admits there are crazy Leftists. That’s a start.

She’s no saint by any means, but she has the courage to be independent and she’s not afraid of making enemies.

I saw the interview video Thurs and will try to find it.

Bottom line, take what she says with a HUGE truckload of salt...

If you’re an insane lefty, a moderate would seem like a conservative. This explains the left’s antipathy toward Ms. Weiss.

Correct, it’s a pipedream to think CBS would ever become a rightwing network, it would be helpful if CBS news became a mainstream network, holding both sides accountable for their actions, if that were to happen, CBS would likely become very successful and a lot of really crazy liberals would be out of work, which would be a good thing.

Boy, those libs sure do whine,piss and moan all the time. Hundreds of them have gone from government to MSM positions and that’s just the way it is.

I am hopeful. I heard her on Dennis Prager’s show a few times and she seems at least reasonable, not a corrupt lying democrat or a leftist loon moonbat.

Oh please. This is fake outrage. David Ellison and Bari Weiss are both leftist Jews who support Israel first.

What evidence do you have that Bari Weiss is a Leftist? The Free Press, of which she is founder and editor, looks center right. So does her Twitter feed.

If she is a Leftist, why are the Leftists at CBS screaming about her being hired?

What evidence do I have that Weiss is a leftist? How about her own words? Is that good enough for you? At 7:51 in the interview,

Based on her financial donations, she’s an official member of the marxist cult known as leftism.

Here’s more evidence

Weiss appeared on “Real Time with Bill Maher and issued a warning to American Jews who aligned themselves with Trump because they like his policies: “I hope this week that American Jews have woken up to the price of that bargain. They have traded policies that they like for the values that have sustained the Jewish people and frankly this country for forever: welcoming the stranger, dignity for all human beings, equality under the law, respect for dissent, love of truth. These are the things that we’re losing under this president[referring to Trump]. And no policy is worth that price.”

That video was 6 years ago.

I'm not defending her, but since that time she's quit the NY Times because of its defense of Wokeness and founded The Free Press which has featured many writers who are conservatives, and who have criticised the Left.

In her resignation letter at the times, she said,

I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home.
About that she also said this in her resignation letter:
My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist;

On some issues—like defending free speech against progressive censorship—she now aligns more with center-right/libertarian arguments.

If I am not mistaken, that was from 2018. As I said, she has shifted to a center-right position since her employment at the NY Times.
