Bari Weiss is Destroying CBS Newshttps://www.danielgreenfield.org/p/bari-weiss-is-destroying-cbs-newsWhen 60 Minutes debuts its 59th season, the one thing we can be certain of is that the media will announce that it’s a disaster and blame Bari Weiss and clamor for government intervention.
The former New York Times columnist who had the temerity to not only leave the storied paper, but also start her own successful media venture, The Free Press, before getting hired to clean up CBS News, and to do all that while questioning wokeness and defending America and Israel, is more loathed than Trump in media circles. The media hates Trump, but it fears Bari Weiss.
Even before the first 60 Minutes episode of the season aired, the media was already running articles blasting Weiss for ‘destroying the journalistic legacy of CBS News’. The New York Times ran its preview by repeating the false claim that Weiss was “trying to insert political bias into the show”, which she did by asking for a comment from the White House about a 60 Minutes story.
...
It would be awful indeed if Bari Weiss were to tamper with the journalistic legacy of CBS greats like Walter Cronkite, Les Moonves (accused of forcing a woman into oral sex), former 60 Minutes Executive Producer Jeff Fager (accused of sexually harassing women), former 60 Minutes correspondent Charlie Rose (accused of sexually harassing women), former 60 Minutes Executive Producer Don Hewitt (accused of sexually harassing women) making “accused of sexually harassing women” into an official requirement for CBS News legends.
At least there was Dan Rather, who broke the network’s curse of sexually harassing women by merely trying to pass off a Microsoft Word document as if it had come from the Vietnam War.
Obviously, Bari Weiss doesn’t belong at CBS News. She hasn’t even raped anyone yet.
(When Scott Pelley stomped off in a huff over Bari Weiss, the AP contacted Jeff Fager for a comment without mentioning he had been forced out over allegations of groping women. To the media, groping women is less of a sin than asking it to meet ethical standards.)
60 Minutes founder Don Hewitt had such an incredible legacy that one of his victims settled with CBS News in the 90s for $450,000 to keep quiet and then another $75,000 every year for the rest of her life so she would stay silent. This dirty deal, which paid $5 million to a woman to keep her quiet about what was going on at 60 Minutes, was only discovered in 2018. None of the intrepid 60 Minutes journalists busy targeting political opponents ever got around to it.
Looking at CBS Skews's real legacy.
