Free Press to be bought by CBS parent

And Bari Weiss will have a top editorial job at CBS.

Interesting.

[jon-nyc]

So apparently this has been finalized.

Bari is balanced on almost every issue, but seems to abandon nuance when it comes to Israel.

[jon-nyc]

Indeed she does. She was that way at the Times too.

There are a bunch of commentators that occasionally throw out some perfunctory ‘not that I agree with everything the natanyahu government does’ but never once mention any particular point of disagreement. She’s one of them.

This is her letter.

She's not particularly hot, but for 200MM ok, I'd date her. I need a new boat.

[jon-nyc]

She’s a lesbian so there’s that. You could reclaim her for our side.

If you can’t join ‘em’, lick em’

BUT…Speaking of boats, our own Musical Princess just got her Day Skipper license after 5 days captaining a 46’ sailboat with five guys. She’s in Australia and married now.

These two ladies are not optimistic that the corpse that is CBS News will accept change from the top. I guess they're probably right.

Bari apparently sent a mass email asking everybody what they're working on. Shades of Musk at the beginning of Doge.

Hopefully it works out better for Bari than it did for Elon.
