this is going to be very stupid, but it has high comedy potential and a good likelihood of going wrong

Since I have no interest in watching CBS, I can look forward to Bari Weiss (further) tanking its brand with mild schadenfreude. Too much to hope that Murphy the Trickster God will use this opportunity to remove her from general notice, but one can hope for a very public meltdown when everything goes pear-shaped…

“Even in the most generous reading—where her entire career and indeed life might reflect anything more than the cold calculus of a pure cynic who wants the approval and patronage of the world's richest and vainest reactionaries—Weiss's entire worldview is in the negative.”

— Brandy Jensen (@brandyjensen.bsky.social) October 6, 2025 at 9:34 AM

Lots of relevant corporate backstory included in this article, if you’re curious. Patrick Redford, at Defector:

On Monday, newly appointed Paramount CEO David Ellison announced that his company had acquired the Free Press, the smirking blood-and-soil blog founded and run by former New York Times hall monitor Bari Weiss. As part of the deal, Weiss will ascend to the role of editor-in-chief of CBS News, a Paramount property and one of the biggest news organizations in the country.

How could the Free Press—the total editorial output of which on a given day amounts to one or two reheated versions of “The Kids These Days Are Crazy,” something like “Liberal Mayors Keep Lying About The ‘Black Issue,'” and “How This IDF Wife Is Balancing Motherhood And Killing Child Terrorists”—be worth a reported $150 million, and why is its oafish founder about to oversee a huge press operation? Respectively: It isn’t, and she shouldn’t. The acquisition only makes sense in the context of both a significantly larger deal and its broader project of media reorientation. Now that the Free Press deal has gone through and Weiss has taken one of the most powerful positions in American news, the richest people in the world will have taken big steps toward ushering in the toothless, acquiescent future of mainstream media they have always wanted.

Before getting to Weiss, we have to establish the context for what’s happening at CBS News, and why its owners would be looking for new leadership. That story starts with David Ellison, the firstborn son of the third marriage of Larry Ellison—Oracle founder, recently and fleetingly the wealthiest person in the world, and Israel Defense Forces mega-donor. The younger Ellison founded the production company Skydance Media in 2006, and three years later signed a four-year, $350 million deal with Paramount to co-finance four to six movies per year. David says he’s always envisioned Skydance as a technology concern and “media company 2.0” instead of a hidebound movie production company, a vision he credits to some advice he got from his father’s friend Steve Jobs, who years ago told him, more or less, to try to make something good instead of something that sucks. Insightful…

With Ellison dismantling CBS institutions, he will have to build new ones. The departure of [60 Minutes’ Bob] Owens, a widely revered journalism lifer, potentially clears space for Weiss, a talentless operator who had to quit her New York Times opinion-writer job after she failed at getting the paper to fire her (they did briefly exile her to Australia). Weiss recovered from the embarrassment of never having been martyred for heterodoxy, built the Free Press into Substack’s highest-revenue news site, and oversaw an investment round last year that netted the FP $15 million at around a $100 million valuation, with buy-in from right-wing billionaires like Marc Andreessen—a Peter Thiel acolyte whose venture firm also invests in Substack itself—and Trump’s diminutive crypto czar David Sacks. Per the Financial Times, Ellison approached Weiss this past summer about acquiring the Free Press due to her staunch support for Israel and her “ability to build a younger, digitally savvy audience.”…

… Weiss is not in the same orbit as rabidly partisan Newsmax operators or extremists like Nick Fuentes, which is precisely what defines her utility. Unlike those hooting idiots, Weiss speaks the language of elite liberal institutions, and her intended audience is people who know how to read. The project—hers and that of her backers—is to establish herself and her cohort not as new-right media, but as the new liberal media, staking out the leftmost acceptable position within the new right-wing paradigm…

The Ellisons and the rest of the billionaire class don’t need the aerodynamic drag of association with fringier right-wing stuff; they want the prestige and lubricity of affiliation with important, elite institutions. That’s the value proposition of the Ivy-incubated, Wall Street Journal and New York Times veteran Weiss: obsequiousness to power and capital without any of the wacky stuff, the imprimatur of elite consensus unburdened by any inconvenient commitment to reporting on the business of powerful people. What does this look like in practical terms?…

What makes the Free Press an attractive prize for Ellison is its choice of enemies—or, to engage in a smidge of Weissian anti-writing, whom it never goes after. The Free Press only punches down and to the left, never at those who hold real power but lustily at their critics and adversaries. If you are a billionaire buying a media organization in order to consolidate your power, you could not find a more eager servant than Weiss, someone blissfully captured by the richest people alive, and invested in smashing the last vestiges of liberal power in this country: universities, civil servants, and the media. She has a cop’s heart and a tadpole’s brain, which makes her the ideal partner for someone like David Ellison.

Weiss’s website has around 155,000 paying subscribers, which is not insignificant, but that’s one for every 77 the Times has, despite heavy investment from some of the most powerful people in the country. The disproportionate influence of the Free Press, then, is entirely down to who reads it. There are plenty of iPad-wielding dads and disgruntled normal people who find its warmed-over dog food worth consuming, but its popularity alone doesn’t make it worth the reported $150 million cash-and-stock acquisition price. If you have the billionaire class in thrall, though, the normal rules do not apply. You can court patrons from the richest segment of society, and all you have to do is flatter them and their sensibilities.

By now, noting the disjunction between Weiss’s trumpeted commitment to free speech and her demonstrated commitment to smothering her critics is a bit hack. What I will say is that the hypocrisy on display there is not incidental to her appeal to a guy like Ellison, but very close to the heart of it. Weiss has an insatiable metabolism for other people’s anger, as she capably digests it into further proof of her claims to courageous truth-telling. Her new billionaire backers get an agent expert at turning people’s ire toward other, softer targets—someone who can process it into fuel.

There hasn't ever been anything to suggest that Bari Wiess good at managing so many people, or even just working with a small batch of people who aren't in ideological lockstep, and in fact what evidence we do have, her constant drama at the New York Times, suggests the opposite.

Is it bad that a major American news outlet will be made a global laughingstock? Yes. Am I excited for it to be entirely Bari Weiss’ fault? Yes again.

      “With the government shut down for a sixth day, President Trump on Monday briefly dangled the possibility of a negotiation with Democrats, only to pull back several hours later — insisting that Democrats must end the standoff first before he would be willing to make a deal on health care,” the New York Times reports.

      Said Trump: “I am happy to work with the Democrats on their Failed Healthcare Policies, or anything else, but first they must allow our Government to re-open.”

      No Democrats believe that FFOTUS will honor his “promise.”

      BTW, the people kidnapped by ICE [in the above incidents] were at work. Looks likely that they know where people work bc they’re integrating immigration & IRS data.

      I happened upon (YouTube) the Mike Wallace 60 Minutes piece on  WaPo days before Nixon resigned, sit-downs with Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham that revealed publishers of merit… I found a 25th anniversary of Watergate interview with Graham, years before Mark Felt came out as Deep Throat, her speculating who he was (and wasn’t) and this had me watching All The President’s Men for the umpteenth time.

      It gave me a rush, then, real sadness.

      @Jay: they are arresting in parking lots and on the streets as they leave. The alley would be a public owned place for instance, no company control. If work places are known, then they don’t really need cooperation of employers. In fact they are hurting employers and it has already been shown they are getting legal immigrants and some citizens. Those employers know they are doing nothing wrong and are playing by the official rules, they should not have to be figuring out how to fight against their own lawless government. And long term that is hard to do. The only real solution is to jail the corrupt government officials. Win and make examples. By the laws on the books. Kidnapping charges. Orders to kidnap to the top.
