Petty CBS Staff Leak to Darcy on Garrett, Not Stahl, Interviewing Bibi
Status founder Oliver Darcy took to his newsletter Monday night with a predictable target in CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss with a predictable set of wingmen (and women) in anonymous sources inside the network. The topic? They threw a collective hissy fit over chief Washington correspondent and longtime political journalist Major Garrett scoring the 60 Minutes interview with…
Netanyahu Denies NY Times 'Hard Sell' Story, Rips Social Media Attacks
On April 7, The New York Times ran a story by Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman on the decision to go war with Iran, from their forthcoming book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Anonymous sources recounted Trump aides feeling Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a "hard sell" on regime change in Iran. On CBS's 60 Minutes on…
Joe Scarborough Calls for Post-Trump ‘Rubio Reset’
On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said: “Let us hope, post-Trump, there’s more of a Marco Rubio reset.” Joe volunteering for Marco ’28? Is this just analysis—or is Scarborough signaling the kind of Republican he’d be comfortable backing in a post-Trump era?
Trump Tells CBS Host 'You're a Disgrace' for Reading Shooter's Smears
It’s mind-boggling how the press pretends that hostilities between President Trump and the press is a one-way street. They somehow never qualify as hostile. CBS interviewer Norah O'Donnell repeated the shooter's claims that the president was a rapist, pedophile, and traitor. How is that question not "resuming hostilities"?
'60 Minutes' Platforms Leftist Catholic Cardinals Bashing Trump, ICE
On Sunday’s 60 Minutes, the apparently mandatory anti-Trump segment was an interview with three Cardinals everyone associated with “progressive” Pope Francis – Blasé Cupich of Chicago, Robert McElroy of Washington DC, and Joseph Tobin of Newark. The two big anti-Trump topics were the war in Iran and mass deportation. There were no questions on abortion or gender ideology or nuns suing…
CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ Rips California Rail Racket, Allows Easter Message
While it’s certain to not always be the case, Sunday’s 60 Minutes offered a possible harbinger of things to come if editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is to turn CBS News into a network with journalism that appeals to all Americans. The episode including a lengthy piece blasting California’s high-speed rail boondoggle and then a closing minute from Christian evangelist Franklin Graham about…
Darcy & Co. Assert Cooper Leaving CBS Is About Its 'Rightward' Shift
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper announced he wouldn’t renew his contract with CBS News as a reporter for 60 Minutes after 20 years. He claimed it was to spend more time with his family, which cynics never accept when politicians assert it. The Left wanted to blamed new CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss for it.
Column: In Real Life, There's No New 'CBS Newsmax' Under Bari Weiss
The leftists on social media have hilariously caricatured CBS News under new Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss as “CBS Newsmax,” like it’s lurched dramatically to the right. But if you’re monitoring CBS in real life, there’s plenty of evidence that “classic CBS” is still operating. In recent days, CBS has proven to be worse than ABC and NBC in its tilt to the left.
‘Death Spiral’ of ‘Bile,’ ‘Jingoism’; Journos Dump on Dokoupil, Weiss
This week, there was another cascade of sophomoric hit pieces against CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil for publicly expressing the need for CBS to regain the trust of more Americans. Hilariously, the smears ignored the newscast and wider network’s record of recent bias, including 96 percent negative coverage of ICE in Minneapolis. Four separate hit…
CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ Airs Predictably Partisan, Pro-Mob Story on ICE
Sunday’s 60 Minutes should be the clearest sign yet that little has changed at CBS News under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss as, despite the apocalytpic claims from so-called “media reporters,” they’re still churning out partisan drivel. Along with airing the story on the El Salvadoran jail CECOT (which was nearly identical to the one Weiss held up last month), 60 Minutes opened…
FINALLY: ‘60 Minutes’ Airs CECOT Story. Cue the Elitist Media Meltdown
After about a month, CBS finally aired the 60 Minutes item on Salvadoran megaprison CECOT that was held for “additional reporting” at the direction of CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss. The report finally aired today, and after watching the end result we can conclude that Weiss was right to hold it.
Letterman: CBS News Has Been ‘Eviscerated,’ ‘Pissed on’ by ‘Idiots’
In an episode of The Barbara Gaines Show posted on Friday, former CBS’s Late Show host David Letterman was in old-man-yells-at-the-clouds mood as he lamented the impending cancellation of his old show and seethed over CBS News as now being run by “idiots” — ostensibly referring to Paramount Skydance chairman David Ellison and CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss — who’ve “eviscerated”…
CBS Locates Expert to Argue Maduro's Not a 'Bloodthirsty Drug Dealer'
Sunday's 60 Minutes didn't air their controversial report on the Salvadoran CECOT prison, but they did make quick room for Scott Pelley to investigate President Trump's seizure of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. The story led with the expert Roger Carstens, a former "Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs" under Trump and Biden, who quibbled with the notion that Maduro was a "…
