The collapse of corporate media is in full swing. Don’t think the NYbehindtheTimes are any better.
Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Enablement doesn’t make you an editor.
Bari Weiss would have asked Eichmann to sit for a friendly interview before allowing an expose on the Holocaust to air.
And here’s a free link to the NYT piece on the 60 Minutes disaster.
Bari Weiss thinks CBS reporters can’t get Stephen Miller to talk to them because they don’t have his phone number.
And she doesn’t know how to use a dictionary.

This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.
The CBS reporter who led the story calls pulling it a "political" decision.
"The decision was made after Bari Weiss, the new editor in chief of CBS News, requested numerous changes to the segment."

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

The Trump supporter who runs CBS news just killed a story about Trump’s favorite torture prison. Here’s why America has a liberal media bias problem.

I get it. Make a statement and count on people having zero critical thinking skills.
Because this? Is BS.
"The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light"
Yeah, next...

Trump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family and Trump is 100% on Russia's side now.

It’s an Orange washing.
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
See for yourself.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Trump is attacking MTG. Nobody is into it. He claims to speak to 212 countries. There are only 195. His teeth are scraping, words are slurring. The crowd is now very, very quiet and confused. But not as confused as he is.
