I mean... Its on YouTube already 💁‍♂️ Idk why people act like the internet doesnt exist. Bari Weiss is stupid. If she actually wanted to people not to see this, she should have just let it air, it would have had far less viewes then it will now.

Seriously, I popped in just to say this. How fucking hard is it for people to understand the Streisand effect?

Weiss def didn't make that decision, she's just the face following marching orders from above. She sucks, but let's not pretend like she has any real power

I mean she does have that power tho lol. That is her whole job, anything that gets aired she has to approve. And this sudden political shift cbs has been making only started when she got her position as editor in chief. You can pretend she's insignificant if you want but that isn't reality. She even made a whole statement about why she didn't approve the segment claiming how "certain information wasn't verified" and blah blah blah

Yeah I guess. I just don't think if she started making decisions that went against the oligarchs that she'd retain her position much longer. So she "decides" what the billionaires and criminals already want decided.

I mean, yes, this is true, but I don't think she has any interest in not doing what they say or disapprove of what they're doing.
