Who cares? God you act like you’re proclaiming how we turn water into wine. So you’re rooting for Bari Weiss. How daring! How bold! Such raw bravery! I bet you wear a hat that says “the NASDAQ” on it

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."
