A CBS News spokesperson told Reuters that the episode needed "additional reporting and Weiss said in a statement to The New York Times: “My job is to make sure that all stories we publish are the best they can be. Holding stories that aren’t ready for whatever reason—that they lack sufficient context, say, or that they are missing critical voices—happens every day in every newsroom. I look forward to airing this important piece when it’s ready.”

High pitched sound waves, causing headaches, etc. Dog whistle?

I think we can all rest assured in the knowledge that Bari Weiss is a goddamned reich wing, corporate fascist shill, and she is doing at CBS exactly what she was hired to do.

I love that we’re living during the time when the most ham-fisted clodhoppers are getting paid all the money. Even as an agent of state capture of the media, Bari Weiss is less elegant than a newborn giraffe struggling to its feet.
Chaplain Corps: Hegseth announced an overhaul of the military’s Chaplain Corps, with an emphasis on (presumably Christian) spirituality: “Our chaplains are chaplains, not emotional support officers, and we’re going to treat them as such,” Hegseth said in a video. “Faith and virtue were traded for self-help and self-care.”
It’s always, ALWAYS the men who need therapy the most who say this shit.

This whole episode is going to tank their WB bid. Beyond the house of cards financial situation of the whole Ellison project right now, it’s just exposing them all as rank amateurs that are sure to loose investors value over the long term in the entertainment industry.

Imagine if just by refusing to comment, you could stop any story from running. You would literally never find out anything unflattering about anybody. It amounts to asking people for their blessing to publish your reporting about them.
This is how it’s done.

It’s no time to give up. Weep into your eggnog and rum toddies, if you must, but next year is a major election year, and we all ought to pitch in to get rid of the Republican support machine that’s sustaining the Worst President in American History (twice). For those who make New Years resolutions, that’s the biggie. Along with losing weight, eating healthy, and getting more exercise.

I have a feeling Bari Weiss would have been much better off shilling her right wing ideology from somewhere in the background; the deeper the background, the better.
She doesn’t appear to have the requisite skills and polish to be the face of a major network - as this fiasco shows - and it’ll catch up to her sooner than later.
