Staring with Dan Rather's "Fake but accurate" reporting on the eve of an election.
Starting, not staring.
“PUBLIC” airwaves, transmitting propaganda, controlled by..... hmmm i don’t know. Someone out there gets to decide who gets to write the ‘news’ and choose what stories to report and not report, but it’s not the voters and it’s not the public. It’s not even elected officials that get to decide. Someone does though. What a crooked system.
If the Guardian doesn’t like her, CBS must be doing something right.
She’s a left-leaning bi/lesbian, but she’s not corrupt or extreme enough for the Guardian. Their criticism says more about themselves than her.
Everything about the media is weird and worrisome.
I doubt she’s worse than anyone else at CBS.
If she is, she’ll fit in fine.
IT IS WEDNESDAY:
RENO CBS HAVE BEEN OFF THE AIR SINCE SUNDAY PM.
“If the Guardian doesn’t like her, CBS must be doing something right.”
Just what I was thinking. This probably a feather in her cap.
Curse you, Babylon Bee! You got me!
Much improvement over predecessor
I don’t really care, Margaret, and Cronkite was a commie.
The Guardian would have preferred a communist.
[Weiss – a staunch Zionist]
The Guardian consistently shows their priorities...
Not that we are surprised
If it’s “weird and worrisome” for the Guardian, she must be pretty good!
Bari is a “her”? As in a birthing person? What difference does it make that she doesn’t have news experience?
I had no idea the Guardian was so homophobic and misogynist.
Even if she is a moderate it will be like a bombshell in the world of See BS.
It is an improvement although she seems more disinterested in straight news (whatever that means anymore) than simply inexperienced.
Walter Cronkite was a communist.
Bari Weiss’s letter to CBS as to what she intends to do...
“What I can tell you on day one is that I stand for the same core journalistic values that have defined this profession since the beginning, and I will continue to champion them alongside you:
- Journalism that reports on the world as it actually is.
- Journalism that is fair, fearless, and factual.
- Journalism that respects our audience enough to tell the truth plainly—wherever it leads.
- Journalism that makes sense of a noisy, confusing world.
- Journalism that explains things clearly, without pretension or jargon.
- Journalism that holds both American political parties to equal scrutiny.
- Journalism that embraces a wide spectrum of views and voices so that the audience can contend with the best arguments on all sides of a debate.
- Journalism that rushes toward the most interesting and important stories, regardless of their unpopularity.
- Journalism that uses all of the tools of the digital era.
- Journalism that understands that the best way to serve America is to endeavor to present the public with the facts, first and foremost.
I look forward to meeting many of you in the days ahead and to listening and learning from you. I am profoundly honored to join you—and I can’t wait to get started.
With gratitude and excitement,
Bari”
Hopefully she’ll deliver.
