Very interesting developments here. Pence + allies are moving to topple Heritage as the right's core think tank. That Heritage staffers wanted to join Pence, who bucked Trump on J6, but ostensibly over Kevin Roberts' embrace of Tucker Carlson, is not nothing. They're planning for post-Trump.

People on the right are so amped up to finally have another mainstream celebrity vocally on their side. Last time this happened, it was Kanye West and he immediately lost his mind.

This is Bari Weiss in stonewalling, chin-out, "I won't let the haters get to me" mode. Whether she gets away with it will be determined by whether Sharyn Alfonsi's colleagues at 60 Minutes and CBS News decide to fight back. Pelley, Stahl, Cooper--this decision goes on everyone's permanent record.
Almost every story Weiss greenlit at the Free Press lacked sufficient context. It's kinda their entire schtick.

My main takeaway is not so much how it demonstrates that they know they're full of shit, because we already know that.
My main takeaway is how easy it is to catch them with the simplest follow-up, and how obvious this makes it that they're not used to being asked basic journalistic questions.

Holding a story because the subject of reporting refuses to provide comment is b.s. and everyone knows it, even Bari Weiss.
Just Google "request for comment" and "site:https://www.thefp.com" and you'll see pages of stories on Weiss' own website published without comment.

Bari only pulled this program after the promos started airing, which means she probably got a phone call. So she's not just bad at her ostensible job of running CBS news, but she's also bad at her *actual* job of running interference for the Trump admin
CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

As with Twitter and now TikTok and CBS, they are practicing the Nero Doctrine. Anything that doesn't serve them, personally, does not deserve to survive.
We saw the prototype of the Nero Doctrine with Twitter. The goal wasn't to make it profitable or "free." The goal was to break the one place where news broke faster than the state could spin it.
They bought the town square not to speak in it, but to burn it down so we’d have nowhere else to gather.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.

Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran CBS news reporter who led the story: “I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight.”
The reality is that she is much more likely to be fired than Weiss, and that should tell you all you need to know about CBS now.
