Bari Weiss Thinks She’s Inventing Social Media

"On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you."

That changes now. The new CBS Evening News starts Monday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
I’m guessing none of these stories will be covered, since they don’t involve the “perspective of average Americans.”

    Used to. be the pitch was "here's something you won't find anywhere else". Now it's "here's more of the same thing you get everywhere else you go"

    Turns out the comfortable can handle even less aflliction than they did in Edward R Murrow's day- and in the scheme of things, *that* wasn't much...

    And how does See BS "news" discern what the hoi polloi are thinking? Does Whorey Beiss go to an Ihop and chat with the buffalo butts or, as I suspect, she just takes whatever the party of the billionaires wants them to be thinking as her and her stable of media whores common received wisdom of the the plebs?
    I hadn't until recently found out about her and her little club of Zionist cranks baiting Columbia profs of Arab descent to try to get them fired, lying about things they'd said to do that. That as she's all free-speechy and pressy. She is so two-faced that her head must spin around constantly. When the old "Horse" of MWO talked about media whores, she was in college learning to be one.

    I’m agnostic as to broadcast news. Cronkite shocked everyone when he suggested Vietnam was not what it was cracked up to be. That was in the ‘70’s, IIRC. It was too radical for America. And it was radical, for broadcast TeeVee.

    Now corporations (Paramount) are in charge of news? What else is new? Murrow ended his career doing celebrity interviews. I know about them from Bugs Bunny cartoons. Cronkite at least got to retire from his place on the TeeVee screen, with dignity and respect. Thus do we move forward. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I gave up on the virtues of broadcast news when I was in high school. Daily reports of “body counts,” repeated as if the reporters had independently verified, will do that to you.

    Last I knew Cronkite was voice acting Ben Franklin in some PBS history as founders myth nonsense about the Revolutionary War. I was babysitting my brothers kids while that was on PBS or I probably wouldn't know that. As a voice actor, he was Cronkite.

    OTOH, he wasn’t immortalized by Bugs Bunny.
