  1. CBS News’ editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is plotting to revamp the network’s editorial rulebook as backlash over her decision to shelve a 60 Minutes segment continues.

    Weiss, 41, is planning a broad overhaul of the network’s standards and procedures, Axios reported, citing a source familiar with her plans.

    Weiss’s reported overhaul comes amid outrage over her eleventh‑hour call on Sunday to shelve a 60 Minutes report on the El Salvador megaprison where Venezuelan men deported by President Donald Trump were held.

  4. Soon to be renamed TBS. Trump Broadcasting System!!

  5. She is t qualified to run a high school yearbook committee much less a major news outlet.

    She is a grifting idiot.

  7. She was hired to defang 60 Minutes.
    But she’ll end up destroying CBS.

  9. I hope the viewership sinks to zero. I will NOT tune into CBS as long as that trump butt kissing weasel is in charge.

  10. MAGA Curious is certainly a polite term for Trump Lackey.

  12. MAGA CEO decides that journalistic integrity doesn’t matter to her news organization.

  13. Maybe she should work on her fucking life perspective first, this woman is a fucking joke.

  14. Hmmm

    It’s as if John Oliver predicted this would happen when she was given the job at CBS

  15. Fun Fact:

    The Nuremberg Trials also “punished” journalists for spreading propaganda.

    If America doesn’t hold the media accountable for these years then America will never recover.

  16. Welcome to the end of 60 minutes, welcome to the end of the Kennedy center. Trump really does a great job in destroying everything, doesn’t he?

  17. She was put in place to do exactly this. Guaranteed this hand puppet of a human being is taking orders directly from the Ellisons.

  18. Yes we need to change a format that’s worked for over 50 years because it hurt a 79 year old dementia sufferer feeling. 🙄

  19. Our entire generation’s been middling talents flying in on a golden parachutes they got through personal connections and gutting people out through some perceived sense of persecution (“you never recognized my genius”). Media, economy, politics, science, education.

    We’ve been trained to fear some pitchfork wielding rubes storming the gates, but really, it turns out banana republic is middle management republic.

  20. It probably means she’s going to fire the show runner with a MAGA replacement that will keep a close eye on the stories their journalists are working on, so surprises like the CECOT story never happen again, and also stories like the CECOT story will never be investigated again.

  21. “curious” and “plotting” are both incorrect.

    Bari Weiss is proof that failing upwards is still failing.

  25. Maga-curious is one way of putting. Insane genocide propagandist is what I’d call Weiss

  26. What the fuck did Kate McKinnon see of her that wanted to date?

  28. Could you imagine the outrage if a Democrat purchased a right leaning news source and overhauled it to be more liberal.

    Could you just imagine?

  29. She looks like she tried getting into Berghain, got denied for being the fake bitch she truly is, and is taking it out on everyone else. 🤦‍♀️

  30. The new state censor has arrived and she has a perfectly Orwellian outfit named “The Free Press”.

  31. Ruining an entire multi billion dollar network for a conman who won’t be around in 2 yrs.

  33. Can everybody quit and form a new news organization, NoBS instead? I feel like it would gain traction.

  34. Future Weiss 60 min pieces include; “how does President Trump still look so good” and “how trump is defending American freedoms”. Fuck these ghouls stop watching CBS or anything associated with it.

  37. So fucking sad. 60 minutes feels like the last of incredible reporting from our major networks. It’s always well done with great interviews and hard hitting pieces.

    I’ll pay for independent news that can replicate it.

  38. Bari Weiss is a propagandist. She is not a newsroom Editor In Chief.

    Weiss is like Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of Putin’s state-funded international media outlet now known as “RT.” Weiss works for Trump like Simonyan works for Putin.

  40. So she’s going to tank a massively well known brand and trash it

  42. Overhaul a program that has been successful, well respected, and award-winning for nearly 60 years?

  43. I watched the 60-Minutes piece she pulled. It was well done and in line with reporting 60-Minutes has always done. She had no business pulling that. Shameful!

  44. We won’t watch anything but Colbert. Then done with CBS

  45. She’s not “MAGA-curious”. She’s fucking EVIL. If you’re evil and need disseminate some propaganda, she’s your fuckin’ guy.

  48. Let me fix your headline, “maga –curious CBS Boss plotting to destroy 60 minutes.”
