This is funny, but it’s also illustrative of the split between actual reporters, and people like Weiss and Goldberg who are pure commentators. They really don’t understand what journalists do.

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."

Globalisation gave us one of the world's greatest fried snack - the Malaysian Curry Puff. (I lived in KL as a kid and I am still utterly obsessed with them.)
According to Wikipedia, the curry puff, which we love in our region, may be due to globalizing the empanada.
"the snack is believed to have developed in maritime Southeast Asia due in part to the various influences of the British Cornish pasty, the Portuguese empanada and the South Asian samosa"

‘RIP’: Australian media revels in ‘deeply lamented’ death of Bazball after Ashes woe
Local media gleefully homed in on English pre-series predictions after Australia retained the urn having played just 11 days of cricket
The sports sections of Australia’s major mastheads were on Monday largely dedicated to ridiculing pre-series predictions of an England Ashes victory, and announcing the end of the tourists’ now-compromised attacking philosophy.
“Bazball is dead”, asserted the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, quoting former Australian opener Simon Katich. The West Australian newspaper fully committed to the theme, mocking up a pronouncement of Bazball’s passing on ye olde parchment, “deeply lamented by Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, but basically no one else”.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."
