MSM Hacks Are Terrified of Bari Weiss Simply Because She’s Objective and Tells the Truth

Bari Weiss — the young, dynamic new head honcho at CBS News — is not at all interested in being accepted by the lefty communist collective clique that has had a stranglehold on American mainstream media seemingly forever. That’s what makes her story so interesting, fun to watch, and important.

It wouldn’t be odd if she was, mind you. Ms. Weiss is decidedly left-leaning in her politics. She is something that we don’t see much of anymore, an iconoclast who broke away from the leftist hive mind and survived all subsequent cancel attempts from the bedwetters. When Weiss very publicly left The New York Times in 2020, she called out the editors for being wusses and caving to woke Twitter mobs. Taylor Lorenz was the Times’ in-house straitjacket model then, and accused Weiss of misrepresenting the situation. A good litmus test for veracity is whether Taylor Lorenz is on your side or not. If she says you’re not telling the truth, it’s a lock that you actually are being honest.

Rather than losing her resolve and apologizing to the cancel Nazis — the usual path for lefties who go astray — Weiss leveraged her outsider status and thrived by creating “The Free Press” on Substack. Last year, new Paramount Skydance chairman David Ellison decided to shake up the moribund and dishonest CBS News division by putting Weiss in charge. As soon as that announcement was made, the Democrats’ rush for the fainting couches was on.
