Ignoring the growing ‘60 Minutes’ controversy appears to be the network’s path forward.
Discussion of the growing 60 Minutes controversy was conspicuously absent from a CBS editorial meeting on Tuesday morning.
The network's MAGA-curious new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, who personally spiked a segment critical of the Trump administration that was set to air Sunday night, was on the call but did not address the now-viral report that a Canadian affiliate mistakenly aired.
The Washington Post and Vanity Fair reported that Weiss, 41, joined the meeting via Zoom and "waved hi" from her car but did not speak. CNN's Brian Stelter reported that the 60 Minutes controversy was not mentioned during the meeting.

Bari Weiss' whole career has been laundering far-right talking points for reactionary "centrists."
She's a ghoul, and I have to think that she knows it but the pay is good.

For real.. Like stop being so playful with the verbiage. One does not dip their toe into fascism just to test how it feels.

The US will be Gilead before anyone in the media will speak truth to power and dare call one of these traitors a "fascist propaganda operative".
They can't even bring themselves to call out a lie 99% of the time.
No US politician, public servant, or military members will hold the oligarchy accountable. The people are the only ones who'll do what's necessary... or they won't and billions will suffer the consequences. Millions already have.

I continue to be at a loss to understand the mechanics of how enough people will effectively organize and focus their collective effort to cause change for the good. Most populist revolutions seem to end poorly, even if they succeed in displacing the incumbent regime.

"MAGA curious" is the most disingenuous phrase. Unlike things like sexuality, you don't have to experiment with a political ideology to see if it fits you. No one says, "Well, I've been supporting equal rights and healthcare for all, but I think I might want to deport anyone with brown skin and protect pedophiles if they're rich." She's just doing a variant of Rogan's "I'm just asking questions" thing.

I hear you can get sued for removing segments for political reasons...
Edit: this feels like it would be a great use of Newsom's money

I watched it on Youtube and I'd say send all the magats there but it's way to luxurious for what they deserve.
