A CBS News staffer was going to be laid off but then wrote to Bari Weiss about how much he loves Israel so she spared him.
If someone wrote this as satire for the onion they’d tell the writer it was too on the nose.

It’s like a very niche version of brown nosing and I imagine quite a few CBS employees will be learning it soon.

I think she was bullied to some extent at NYT from what I understand, that’s when I first met her. But once she gets power she becomes the bully.

Not all Jewish people have the same view on Israeli politics nor do they abandon all journalistic standards based on their view of the topic. If you think they do check in with a therapist kid

@ZaidJilani @barnes_law Well, you know how ((they)) are, amirite?

This would also be a crazy story if the reporter said "hey I'm really partial to China don't fire me." A foreign affairs correspondent is not supposed to be biased (or at the very least they should be biased towards America). The story shows how Bari's objectivity is fake.

Going to apply to a job at CBS. My cover letter will just me holding a canister of Sabra Hummus flashing a giant thumbs up.

I’m practicing an operatic rendition of Israel’s national anthem, I’m gonna DM Bari. Guys say a prayer for me I think this will work.
