The most profitable non-cancellation ever

Ca-ching!
CBS is cooked. Bari Weiss is about the worst choice you could choose if you wanted to report news. Folks the Broligarchs have openly shot their shot and are making moves in broad daylight. This will require complete unity on our part. nypost.com/2025/10/02/m…

Bari is a terrific example of a person who has, perhaps tragically, mistaken her charisma for intelligence

Bari Weiss trying desperately trying and failing to get fired by the New York Times before becoming an exceptionally well-compensated proprietor of witless reactionary propaganda is truly the defining free speech issue of our times.
This is a very entertaining blog explaining how Bari has perfected the ol’ Adam Bellow grift, in which someone who has been a completely standard-issue reactionary their entire adult life claims that The Party Left Me, although at least Bellow conceded that was indeed a conservative rather than a Dissident Classical Liberal Who Merely Coincidentally Supports 98% of what Donald Trump Wants To Do and Always Has. In summary:
- Presenting herself as a disillusioned liberal when she is not in fact one, and maintaining a myopic, obsessive focus on the excesses of the Left to the exclusion of anything bad that happens on the Right — all the while taking large amounts of money from conservative mega-donors who have an obvious ideological interest in her doing so.
- Depicting herself as an anti-establishment outsider, martyr, and independent when, in fact, she is an establishment insider with unparalleled access to right-wing figures, and
- Holding extremely sloppy journalistic standards that turn rumors into facts, marginal figures into representatives of the great evil, minor incidents into major scandals. In a society struggling to tell truth from bullshit, the “Free Press” is part of the problem, degrading our public discourse and stoking rage for clicks.
It starts with her cutting her teeth trying to get Columbia faculty fired and only gets more damning from there.
