CBS, now under right wing ownership hired well spoken political hack Bari Weiss as editor in chief. Yes let’s 0rivide more reasonable voices like Alan Dershowitz. 🤣

A.K.A.: Non-Partisan Hack

I listened to the whole link you provided. What was controversial about what she said? What makes her more of a hack than anyone else in media right now? Isn't the gripe from the right about most of non-Fox mass media is that they only talk from or to one side of the spectrum? I mean, she got booted from the NYT because she didn't toe the line on what was acceptable to talk about at the time at the NYT. She may or may not be the right person to address this, but surely even you can see that a good portion of this country does feel ignored or talked spitefully about by a much too large segment of mainstream media. And as we've seen in elections, it's about half this country. A little more in some years, a little less in others. It's certainly an issue to them.

I didn’t say she was more of a hack. In fact, she’s very polished with her delivery but it belies her personal biases. She was chosen for a reason.

That said, network TV is still struggling so the impact is less of a threat.

Oh…and I forgot. Bari Weiss wants to elevate Alan Fucking Dershowitz as a media voice and has had him on her podcast.

Here’s a good example of who she’s vouching for. :lol: :ohno:

Just more proof the media is the enemy of the people.
2022: The MSM all aired Demetia Joe’s “Dark MAGA” address
2026: None aired Trump’s address.

‘Dangerous to air it live, unedited’ means dangerous to let people hear it without someone telling them what to think first. That’s the whole confession right there. Straight out of the Commie 101 playbook.

They didn’t find it dangerous to air it live, unedited Biden’s 2022 DARK MAGA address.
just air Trump's speech live, in full, unedited...that's where we are in America."

They just admitted it.

WRONG - the MSM didn't ALL air biden's address - ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC did not air it.

Major networks also didn't air Obama's 2014 address. maQa needs to stop being a overly-sensitive sally's, put their their big boy pants on and start acting like the alpha males they claim they are.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Did CNN air Obama’s 2014? They aired Biden’s 2022 Dark MAGA.

Doesn't matter - using your own modus operandi, that error made your entire post irrelevant.

Where was your outrage when Fox News didn't carry biden's address?
