Who would even visit Bluesky?! If Twitter was too conservative for them (it is definitely not) then they do not want opinion, they want an echo chamber that reinforces their self-indulgence
Oh please....her 'wife' did the EXACT same shit when she worked for the NYT. These ppl are STILL the PMC, they just sniffed the prevailing winds a bit. Weiss is part of the chattering class, same as she ever was....
Correct. Neither Bari or Nellie want to defeat wokeness, they just want to control it. TFP fairly quickly devolved into a liberal mouthpiece, pretending to be centrist. No real challenges to the progressive orthodoxy, mild resistance to the most extreme positions of the far left.
I would be shocked if CBS demonstrates any significant change, it will not call out the absurd behavior of Newsome, Pritzker, Hochul, Schumer, Jeffries, et.al.
Weiss and company are still of and desire to be included in the East Coast/West Coast liberal elite.
A really disgusting post by Ms Testa, whoever the hell she is, or thinks she is. As you say, Sasha, lessons NOT learned by the NYT and never will be. I do not look at Bari as a superstar, though the money says she is. I still see liberal bias in TFP. But at least it is bearable, just not my cup of tea. I let my subscription go. While Bari and Nellie and Suzy shoot mostly straight, a lot of the staff and guest writers do not. There is little balance from the right for the opinion material. It heavily skews left. But I am sure for Bari it feels right down the middle, as compared to the NYT. So I do wish her good luck. But I won't be on board the rest of the way
A good and nuanced view of TFP that while not as biased and left as the NYT - seeks to move the pendulum toward the center. Other organizations are moving there more aggressively.
We all need to pray for Bari Weiss. Pray for wisdom and protection as she works to change the culture at CBS. She is off to a good start with her letter.
I been around this country and many other countries I have seen, talked to and can gauge what other people think about a lot of different subjects. The NYT needs to get some of their writers out and get a different perspective of life in this world than the Progressive/Left leaning one.
Lol. You're hilarious. Maybe the BBC and Reuters will change too, huh? Cmon, man....these 'institutions' exist for the very reason to control narratives. Thats it....always has been.
I wish Bari wisdom, grit and some psychological sophistication. Changing a culture ie shifting the assumptions and values that members of the culture hold is one of the most difficult and challenging endeavors one can undertake.
I hope she is successful and in order to be so she may have to fire a large swath of the current work force that brings us the "news."
Light never reaches the very bottom of the deepest silo.
And like the purity circle floor of the nyt, nothing grows there. A shouting down militant chamber orchestra drowns out any dissent with slogans turned into Chants.
Intelligent people get that this won’t change, cancel their subscription (unless they need it for recipes), and spend their former NYT subscription funds at alternative news sources where good solid, much less political journalism - based on hard work - is still an aspirational vocation.
Meanwhile back at the insular times staff and management offices, they remain, as clueless as ever, and with the NYT smug operating manifesto fully in hand, they chastise - in lockstep - any behavior that falls afoul of the chant.
They still don’t get it, that patronizing any public dissent as wayward poor lost little children, doesn’t make people come around, even after ‘re-education camps - er I mean schools.
The Public votes with their wallet, they simply leave.
I wish Bari well in her new endeavor and I hope she’s successful. I never watch anything on the networks except for the NFL, so I can’t really speak to what’s on there. It seems like a good culture change though, and I hope Bari can pull it off.
Has anyone noted that this makes Bari Weiss and Donald Trump brothers, or sisters (or something)? Both have been battered by the Woke Battalions and both have emerged stronger than ever.
I wish her well but if they are just fair they will be viewed as part of the "right wing media ecosystem " leading to exit to MSNBC. That said, someone to hold the GOPe to account without being tainted with TDS would be welcome.
I liked how the lefties on BlueSky were worried CBS would "lose credibility" with Weiss in charge.
Lose credibility?
HOW?
Only 12 percent of Americans currently find the legacy media credible now.
The problem is that too many newsrooms are staffed by Democratic activists cosplaying as journalists.
If those folks quit CBS in protest, that's what we call addition by subtraction.

I like your math.

TFP would not touch the latest Russiagate story. Not one line of print about it. That spoke volumes to me about Bari and her true stripes.
Now they have the money to qualify.

Nellie is from a very wealthy San Francisco family.
Yeah, I read about that.
Not inaccurate
I hate to say, this has the ring of truth. At least of some truth. We’ll soon see…
I love Sasha, and still will-
Bari Weiss is a foreign agent.
I started off really liking Bari. Until I saw her on Rogan where she claimed Tulsi Gabbard was a Russian asset.
Foreign agent? Probably not. A Leftist trying to pass as a "reasonable" journalist? More likely.

Ms. Weiss is not a conservative, but she is not a leftist hack either. I view her appointment with cautious optimism. Time will tell.
Still not watching CBS News. Maybe in a year after the current staff is cleared out or they learn how to actually report the news.
Excellent commentary!

The national socialist media is having a problem with not being able to maintain leftist lies.
Too bad.

This is a ambitious mission statement from Bari .
I love this shit !!
We the people need to know this .
What is going on behind the scenes in the MS Elite media news rooms and studios
The editors & producers. Talking heads and the hired guns consulting whores and experts.
The copy desk writers and field reporters for the past 15 years
Most will need to find other jobs cause they failed executing.
They’ve all been found out
They failed the gold standard. The principle mission of great reportage and the craft of journalism .
Truth and integrity. Great writing . Make few bucks and head to the white horse tavern for shots and beers.
Do it again.
For our sakes I’m glad to bear witness after 30 years of toxic
Mind control by the info oligarchs. A showcase of failure and deception. A total fail of the model
We are truly in a fourth turning Sasha and I’m excited .
I wish her well but if they are just fair they will be viewed as part of the "right wing media ecosystem " leading to exit to MSNBC. That said, someone to hold the GOPe to account without being tainted with TDS would be welcome.
