George Carlin nailed it. They're ready for violence. They know just what to do about violence. What they cannot handle is humor. Ridicule. The sardonic truth of their evil on full display for all of society. So - we know what have to do to win this. Show the world their mediocrity. That's their fear

apparently “bari weiss doesn’t actually know what journalism is” extends to getting basic facts like the name of a subject right

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

Thank for sharing. Fascinating that when Columbus was a hero, he’s Catholic. Now that we know he is evil, Columbus is a Jew.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Essentially this is ageism. If such sweeping generalisations were made about any other group there would be outrage

I will call out anyone who makes generalisations about ‘boomers’ and their affiliation to the Right. We were the generation at the vanguard of the fight against racism, sexism, protested against Vietnam. There are multitudes of us who still hold those views and are horrified by what is happening

This week’s main story is about Paramount’s decision to name Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, the future of U.S. journalism, and why we think she shouldn’t describe her endeavors as “punk.” Bari, look at us: You are not punk. Joe Strummer would’ve hated your fancy Substack, Bari!

George Stephanopoulos did what every journalist should’ve been doing since 2000 — shutting down GOP gaslighting, dodging, and endless filibusters meant to bury the truth.

Finally. Someone called out the BS on live TV. No more lies. No more games.
