NPR's Folkenflik Assembles the Anonymous Bari-Bashers Inside CBS News
On Tuesday, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik was back on his “keeping liberal media outlets liberal” beat with a preview of Tuesday’s Bari Weiss meeting with CBS staff. First, let’s express amusement at how liberal journalists grant other liberal journalists anonymity so they can avoid “professional repercussions.”
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…
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.
DERANGED: Acosta Floats Choking CBS’s Dokoupil, Welch Says ICE Is ISIS
On Thursday’s episode of the podcast I’ve Had It, co-host and miserable, affluent, white, female liberal (AWFL) Jennifer Welch teamed up with deranged former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta for 79 minutes of dangerous, unhinged lunacy lamenting the state of America that included joking about wanting someone to “choke the living s*** out of” CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil,…
Elite, Liberal Journos GO BALLISTIC Over Dokoupil’s Trump Interview
It was all-but a foregone conclusion that elite, liberal journalists on the “media” beat would be throwing a collective tizzy Tuesday over CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil scoring an interview with President Trump. Over nearly 13 minutes, the two discussed the death of Renee Good, grocery prices immigration operations, Iran, and even the role of automation in working-class jobs…
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”…
Review: New ‘CBS Evening News’ Shows Tony Dokoupil Will Do the News
Following an unscheduled, two-day soft launch thanks to the U.S. military action in Venezuela to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, Monday marked the first official episode of the new CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil that, aside from a teleprompter snafu, came off as refreshingly down-the-middle and normal. One might suggest normal might convey a feeling of boredom or staleness. But…
Liberal Media Defenders Turn to Leaks, Smears to Attack CBS’s Dokoupil
Along with the liberal media meltdowns that resulted from incoming CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil’s brief commentary Thursday about the state of the legacy media, the onslaught continued Friday and into the weekend following…
‘60 Minutes’ Fiasco Prompts Tightening of Standards, Procedures at CBS
Sharyn Alfonsi’s hack job of a CECOT feature for 60 Minutes, pulled due to what could be charitably described as deficient reporting, has triggered a firestorm within the elitist media. But that’s not all. The report has now also triggered an “overhaul” of standards and procedures at CBS and 60 Minutes.
The Spiked ‘60 Minutes’ Piece on the Salvadoran Jail Was Quite Stupid
On Monday night, the now-infamous 60 Minutes segment pulled by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss seemed to have self-deported and aired up in Canada on Global TV, one of its broadcast networks. With it now available to the masses (thanks to social media), we can now give it a full viewing and not a she-said, she-said between Weiss and correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. Spoiler alert: the piece…
INTERESTING TIMES: CBS Evening News Reports ‘60 Minutes’ Kerfuffle
The firestorm over the editorial decision made by CBS News to pull a 60 Minutes segment on migrant detentions at CECOT, the notorious Salvadoran prison, rages on. The controversy has now spilled over to the CBS Evening News, which aired a report on the growing scandal.
Weiss Makes On-Air Debut at Major CBS Show, Emphasizes Open Debate
With an appearance on Friday’s CBS Mornings, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss made her formal on-air debut on one of the network’s flagship newscasts and she made it count as it was to both promote Saturday’s airing of a town hall she had taped earlier this week with Erika Kirk and set the tone for what should be the network’s future of embracing a diversity of views.
CBS Comings and Goings: Why in the World Is Bari Hiring This Guy?
CBS News remained in the headlines last week vis-à-vis comings and goings as editor-in-chief Bari Weiss further having a look under the proverbial hood. This time, we saw a date for the expected departure of CBS Evening News co-anchor Maurice DuBois and a reported desire to sign CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil to the PM chair, but most notable was a questionable decision…
