How Antisemitism Turned CBS Against the Left
Sultan Knish (Daniel Greenfield) ^ | 2025-10-17 | Daniel Greenfield

Every systemic change has a dividing line and that line arrived for CBS on September 30, 2024.

Ta-Nehisi Coates, a black supremacist author, whose books had taken off in the era of BLM, had made the same post-BLM shift as many others of his ilk, and had come out with a book, ‘The Message’, denouncing Israel and Jews, he claimed that Jewish history was “an enormous con” and suggested that he might have joined in the murdering and raping on Oct 7.

...

Like most big woke authors, Ta-Nehisi Coates was published by Random House, a front for the ex-Nazi German publisher, Bertelsmann, which had more than enough juice to get him on CBS Mornings for a chummy chat about his new book denouncing Jews (and as usual, America.)

Just in time for the week commemorating Oct 7.

But something went wrong.

Oprah pal Gayle King was ready to gush over yet another racist, but Coates encountered unexpectedly challenging questions from host Tony Dokoupil. Unlike Gayle and fellow host Nate Burleson, Dokoupil was there to fill the morning show’s ‘serious journalist’ quota. And while he was not born Jewish, he had converted as an adult, and proved far more willing to stand up to Coates than the ordinary Jewish liberal news talking head would have thought to do.

“Why not detail anything of the first and second intifada. . . the cafe bombings, the bus bombings, the little kids blown to bits?” Dokoupil asked. Coates didn’t have an answer. He was doing what he had done all his life, put out propaganda that guilty white liberals swooned at.

No one had ever asked him a question before.

It is pretty good. Greenfield does good work.

Jews breaking away from the Leftist pack. Jews acting more out of concern for Israel and truth, than out of concern for Progressivism and global government.

It is a refreshing thing to see.

There comes a time when even liberals, and even liberal Jews, the greatest doormats for every radical cause the world has ever seen, have had enough. CBS found that out the hard way.

We’ll see. Bari Weiss is still a liberal. She’s not a foaming at the mouth Leftist but she’s definitely no Conservative.

CBS Mornings has become a joke. They need to fire Oprah pal and Black racist Gayle King and Nate brings zero to the table other than being another Black. I’d keep Tony if he is showing signs of being an actual journalist.

For sure, Weiss is center left. An improvement but not by much. Even at that the woke mob is in hysterics about her.

“ Oh, I had no idea Jews controlled media. No idea whatsoever”

Watching the news, it’s pretty apparent that they do not.

Look at how they literally threaten JK Rowling (also a liberal) with death for stepping off the plantation.

I get along fine with actual liberals. We agree to disagree.

Leftists are a different animal. They want everyone who is not them dead. Leftism is a mental disease.

Much of the confusion is the significant difference between secularized left and far left non-religious Jews and religious Jews. Religious Jews, at least in the United States, tend toward being conservative. Secular Jews are overwhelmingly left or far left.

Secular, far left Jews have been prominent in Left wing causes and organizations.

In the USA, it would be more correct to say secular Jews are prominent in the Progressive organizations and ideology, much of which control(ed) the media. The Mediacracy, which has/had a great deal of political power in the United States, has been mostly discredited today.

Dokoupil is no hero... The man is married to TDS queen “Little Katy Tur”... the daughter-of-a-tranny MSNBC wacko who just recently proclaimed that President Trump would “use” Charlie Kirk’s assassination for nefarious ends.

“Watching the news, it’s pretty apparent that they do not.”

The only way one could draw that they might is if they were using a form of reverse psychology by overplaying the news while asking for more help. That is, if they really had such a firm hold on information.
