I thought Bari was all about open dialogue and the free exchange of information and ideas?

A Plucky Champion of Free Speech.

Much was made of her Independence of mind in the Media.

All Lies Apparently.

She's a Shill for Jewish Mass Killers and American Criminals.

Scum.

CBS parent company Paramount Skydance is owned by a MAGA Republican.

CBS was purchased by a MAGA Republican to do things like quash a 60 Minutes story critical of Republicans.

"If the standard for airing a story becomes, 'the government must agree to be interviewed,' then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from being an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state."

Censorship? It's called editorial decisions. Heck, Sharryll Atkinson was fired by Ben Rhodes brother for her dogged coverage of Benghazi. Nobody on the left shed a tear over that.

Editorial decisions like this are POLITICAL,not news based. She is acting as a house censor.

The very opposite of what she was being Feted As.

She's a Fraud.

A plant to silence real journalism.

"She's a Fraud."

A MAGA fraud.

So is Dingaling. That's why he supports her.

Turds of a feather stink together.

Ms Weiss founded The Free Press (which was purchased by Paramount this year).

The Free Press (Common Sense) -- Bias and Credibility

...
Overall, we rate The Free Press as Right-Center biased due to its consistent criticism of left-leaning views, especially on cultural and social issues.

We rate them Mixed for factual reporting because, while articles are generally well-sourced, the outlet often presents one-sided opinion pieces that lack counterarguments or broader contextual balance.

This reads like someone may have been worried about legal action being taken against the company for unverified sources.
