CBS Staffers Reportedly Resist Weiss’s Push to Chase Alaska Ballot Story
Townhall ^ | October 29, 2026 | Scott McClallen

CBS’s Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan reportedly challenged CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss when Weiss asked reporters to investigate the scandal of Alaska’s ballot controversy.

Fox News reported that several CBS staffers downplayed a New York Times report detailing how Democrats placed a decoy “Dan Sullivan” on the ballot to confuse voters and give Democrat candidate Mary Peltola an advantage in the Senate race.

The New York Times reported that Peltola has ordered a staffer in Summer 2025 to find “as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as you can.”

...

The Justice Department has reportedly started investigating Alaska’s ballot confusion.

....

Margaret Brennan basically told Bari Weiss to screw off when Weiss said on the daily CBS News editorial call that they need to stay on the Alaska Democrats-Mary Peltola-Dan J. Sullivan story.

Fox is reporting that CBS's Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan was one of those objecting to pursuing the Peltola scandal. Brennan allegedly compared a decoy candidate to voters being confused by different Sununu brothers who have run for office

REAL journalists follow a story, wherever it goes

Obviously, Margaret Brennan and her Face The Nation pals are not real journalists

So the silly predictions by “experts” that the Dem Party would fall apart in a split over the socialists and Squad by 2024, 2025 or 2026 didn’t happen—the Dems are strongly united and ahead in many states meekly compliant with AOC, Bernie Sanders and Mamdani.

But the traitorous news media will go down as heroes fighting for being propagandists for the left, sacrificing to their last breath on earth.

I am simply waiting for the civil war. No bluffing, not an armchair warrior. Very serious. Those folks better find me and kill me before we reach open fighting stage. It is OBVIOUS that we have a non-shooting coup taking place and almost no one in government is doing ANYTHING about it. It is going to make it worse in the long run than if they would just put a stop to it now.

Weiss should rehire Catherine Herridge and new era reporters like Natalie Winters, Nick Shirley, etc.

Precisely why the mainstream “news” cannot be trusted.

I think Islamocommies will soon be shocked.
They should remember what Yamamoto said after bombing Pearl Harbor,
“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
Another one Islamocommies should remember,
“There will be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

I also think Trump has gone to video conferencing because of a threat to his life.

“Margaret Brennan, Kristen Welker, Jake Tapper, Leslie Stahl— all paid whores.”

Sounds like the typical list of moderators for a Republican presidential debate. Republican voters deserve better.

If the party labels were reversed, it would be getting reported wall to wall on every network and it would not just be reported as a scandal for Republicans in Alaska, but as a nationwide scandal for all Republicans.

Precisely. The MDM’s slavish devotion to the rats is unaffected by the candidate. No matter how extreme they may be they will get same protection and support. Be it a nation killing Communist or a Jew hating Muslim they will get it if they are the Democrat candidate in any race. This has only gotten worse as some alternative media has emerged. If a Republican had pulled this BS in Alaska you would be able to escape the story if you hid in a bank vault.
