"Where can I start? Well, when you have the chief reporter on the beat of COVID for The New York Times talking about how questioning or pursuing the question of the lab leak is racist, the world has gone mad.

When you're not able to say out loud and in public there are differences between men and women, the world has gone mad.

When we’re not allowed to acknowledge that rioting is rioting and it is bad and that silence is not violence, but violence is violence, the world has gone mad," Weiss said.

When you're not able to say the Hunter Biden laptop is a story worth pursuing, the world has gone mad.

When, in the name of progress, young school children, as young as kindergarten, are being separated in public schools because of their race, and that is called progress instead of segregation, the world has gone mad.

There are dozens of examples."

I couldn't find anything on FR about Bari Wise or this wonderful commentary. Worth noting, imo. Short Video at the link.

Keep in mind, the largest private stock owner in the NY Times is Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico and he controls the democrats and many republicans like the Bush’s. It was Jeb Bush who GW sent in 2008 to Mexico at Slim’s bidding because he demanded that we bail out Lehman Bros......

Who pulls the democrat strings? Who is Carlos Slim Helu? A name YOU should know!

Bari WEISS, not Wise. She does an excellent newsletter with a variety of writers.

Some libs, like Bill Maher and Bari Weiss are beginning to see the light. Hope others will become enlightened.

I’m surprised the microphone did not have a malfunction.

Bari is a bright woman- the left now despises her.

Weiss said. "But you and I both know that it would be delusional to claim otherwise that touching your finger to an increasing number of subjects that have been deemed third rail by the mainstream institutions and increasingly by some of the tech companies will lead to reputational damage, perhaps you losing your job, your children sometimes being demonized as well, so what happens is a kind of internal self-censorship."

Let's say there's an almost unbreakable incentive systems in place that in the short run helps news organizations but in the long run destroys the industry. For example - let's say top editors receive 'news packets' from democrat war rooms that allow downsized news organizations to function...but...

disinformation by omission has been going on for many decades. Walter Cronkite was famous for it.

What’s happened has been that the same technique has been used to a suffocating degree.

https://forward.com/schmooze/423163/bari-weiss-dated-kate-mckinnon-but-doesnt-want-political-points-unlike-for/

Bari Weiss, the New York Times columnist famous for being a Jewish woman who does not want any more rights than she currently has, dated Saturday Night Live comedian Kate McKinnon when they were both undergraduates at Columbia University.

The provocative writer said in a Vanity Fair profile what had only been previously rumored — that she and McKinnon dated on and off for years in college, and maintain a friendship.

It’s thrilling news for any lady who is giddy to bed a public intellectual who wants to pump the breaks on believing abused women.

“I’ve been in love with both men and women,” Weiss told Vanity Fair. She added, “I don’t trade on my sexual identity in that way for political points. I think that’s lame and it’s not my style.”

Stelter at least lets Ms. Weiss talk. She was able to make her very cogent (and truthful) argument without him interrupting much. I think her preemptive shush at 1:18 may have helped, lol.

If you use the correct spelling of her name, Bari Weiss, as a keyword, there's dozens of articles on FR referring her.

https://freerepublic.com/tag/bariweiss/index?tab=articles

Bari Weiss is a liberal contrarian in the mold of Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Glenn Greenwald but she's been punching left lately which has earned her a lot of enemies from the crowd she used to run with before resigning in protest from the New York Times.

Her podcast "Honestly" (available on many streaming platforms) and substack Common Sense are both outstanding. I really enjoy the work she is doing.

Brian is so disingenuous when he claims it is a small group that pushes and supports this narrative. If that were true, there would be no discussion about it at all.

The opposite is true, which is why we, the right, have joined in with our own cancel culture as well. For if we fail to act in retaliation, then we are by default succumbing to it.

Circa 1963 were two newspapers in Pecos, Texas.

One was very conservative and the other very liberal. Oddly the liberal one would be considered right wing in today’s environment.

Each one kept their political opinions on the editorial page. Neither tried to hide news based on politics.

Neither attacked each other for their political beliefs. Both reported news fairly. Politics was for the editorial page. News was for the front page. You could believe the news articles in both papers. Neither lied on their editorial page but did slant it politically. That is what the editorial page is supposed to be.

They were examples of what real media should be, and to be commended.

She was one of the ones who support the start of it and was fine as long as it was just "those people" getting hurt.

Now the mob has come for her.

I am hard pressed to care.
