QOTD -- R.I.P. CBS News

 

"It's worth remembering that whenever a MAGA figure enters an institution as a "leader," that institution is soon destroyed, with the MAGA figure thereafter blaming everyone else for what happened and launching a round of mass layoffs.
 
"Sometime in the future, the MAGA figure will be paid off to go away, even as they leave the institution they poisoned utterly destroyed forever.
 
"Once you start looking for this phenomenon you can't stop seeing it, and it's exactly what's happening at CBS News today.
 
"MAGA is a death cult. That means it doesn't build anything or innovate or foster any community or develop ethoi that inform or inspire... it has only one setting, and that setting is war. Tear everything down, attack everyone, delegitimize everything, defile everywhere. The idea that Bari Weiss has any vision whatsoever that relates to the news or anything else is simply laughable. She is a self-aggrandizing, clueless chaos agent who will throw all the toys out of the crib until she skulks away.
 
"The only thing any professional operating in good faith can do in the face of something like this is get as far away from it as possible as quickly as possible so that you don't get any of the moral and spiritual stink of MAGAism on you.
 
"The moment CBS News hired Weiss, it was gone." -- journalist and attorney Seth Abramson, on Threads, on the Bari-al of CBS News.  Next up for MAGA is CNN -- like CBS, owned by the fascist oligarch Ellisons.  More "moral and spiritual stink" to come.
