When it was first merely hinted at last year that Bari Weiss might be put in charge of CBS News, I was quite excited. Monitoring and calling out the old guard biased media monoliths like the broadcast networks and The New York Times has long been my thing. I knew that there would never be substantive change at any of these "news" outlets unless one of the boats got rocked until it almost capsized. If Weiss were to be entrusted with the calcified bias machine that was CBS News, some rocking was sure to happen.
Weiss has that unique combination of both insider and outsider cred, which is why I had such high hopes for her. This is from the post I wrote when the rumors first began circulating:
If this plays out with Weiss being in charge of the thoroughly corrupt CBS News division it would be a seismic shift of massive proportions in the dinosaur mainstream media. Weiss was once a part of the MSM old guard, having been an Opinion writer for The New York Times from 2017-2020. Her breakup with the NYT was legendary. Weiss committed the leftist cardinal sin of deviating from the hive mind. She called out her leftist colleagues for being increasingly intolerant and writing for a very specific audience.
She eventually wound up at Substack, where she turned The Free Press into a new media juggernaut. Weiss was savaged by all of the shrillest voices on the left during her exit from the NYT and turned that into a success that she ended up selling to mega media corporation Paramount Skydance. In the not-too-distant past, running afoul of The New York Times was career suicide, and Weiss's trajectory would have seemed impossible.

The sheer ego and self importance of these 60 minutes people is sickening.
They really believe if they or that stupid ass show go away it will be of some consequence to the country.

So is she gonna hire Lara Logan back? :)
I hope all the rat crybabies make Weiss really hacked off to the point where she goes scorched earth.
Like most Zionoids, her loyalties lie with Israel- not America.
This is just for starters:
Maybe Bari Weiss is making some mistakes in how she runs See-BS. But that is fine. If the end result is that she burns it all down, I’m fine with that too.
CNN is next
CBS’ Bari Weiss identifies as a “Zionist fanatic” and has built her career on vocal support for Israel, often accusing media institutions of anti-Israel bias. She is known for maliciously targeting critics of Israel.
Her connection to Israel includes obsessive Zionist Advocacy. Throughout her career, she has focused on criticizing what she views as anti-Israel bias, particularly in the MSM, and typically frames “criticism of Israel” as a precursor to “antisemitism.”
After high school, she participated in a Nativ gap year program in Israel. While at Columbia University, she campaigned against professors perceived as too critical of Israel.-—— Wikipedia
Weiss’ media outlet, “The Free Press,” has been characterized as maintaining a strong pro-Israel stance and has faced criticism for its coverage of the conflict in Gaza, including suppressing Israel’s Gaza activities and leaping to Israel’s defense wrt reports of Israel allowing famine.

She grew up with deep family roots in Jewish tradition,
and visited Jerusalem in her youth. The New Yorker.
Critics often accuse Weiss of using her various media platforms to stifle debate on Israeli policies.
So what of it?

Bkmk
I take it you two find the present “60 Minutes” reporting and opinions unbiased, accurate, and excellent journalism.
Pelley is/was a leftist activist who will fight to the end anyone bringing any sort of balance to the leftist media.
No, it was always trash. Previously internationalist Marxist trash. Now it's Israeli 5th columnist trash.
If you're Israel-o-phile - like you - who doesn't mind the Israel 5th column infesting our media and politics... nothing.
What are you trying to say?
“What are you trying to say?”
He’s trying to say “I’m an anti-Israel and anti-Jew bigot”.
Another Jew hater infests the forum.
