Darcy Spirals, Treats Weiss’s ’60 Minutes’ Changes Like Someone Died
Status founder, liberal media hall monitor, and virulent conservative hater Oliver Darcy took to his newsletter site Thursday night to drop over 1,600 words melting down over CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss’s remake of 60 Minutes by hiring author, filmmaker, and former New York Times columnist Nick Bilton as its new executive producer and jettisoning Tanya Simon, Sharyn…
Column: The Overweening Pomposity of the Old Guard at CBS News
Sharyn Alfonsi represents the overweening pomposity of the hard-left partisans that have ruled CBS News. She responded to Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss with “resistance” lingo when her contract was not renewed. “CBS management is...choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it."
WATCH: CBS 60 Minutes Mindlessly Hawks Sorkin’s Market Crash Porn
CBS 60 Minutes just completed a textbook exercise in logical fallacy by hawking the stock market scare porn of CNBC’s arguably most smug anti-Trump anchor that he himself hedged straight into irrelevancy.
Eye Roll: Alfonsi Bounced from ’60 Minutes,’ Flaunts God Complex Ego
The New York Times made official Wednesday what Puck’s Dylan Byers first reported back on April 24: CECOT-obsessed Sharyn Alfonsi is out at CBS’s 60 Minutes. And, in an interview with the vi rulently anti-Bari Weiss paper (which used to employ her before they ran her out of town), Alfosni donned a holier-than-thou attitude that embodies the stomach-churning arrogance of…
Sally Field Touts 1st Amendment on '60 Minutes'...To Flatter Colbert?
If you weren’t a political junkie, you could watch actress Sally Field give a 65-second speech at the end of Sunday’s 60 Minutes about the First Amendment and the “brilliance of our Constitution” and think it was like a “Bicentennial Minute” (which CBS aired in 1976). Dig a little deeper, and it seems timed to protest the end of Stephen Colbert's show on CBS.
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…
