Yeah, sorry - not buying it. What was her follow up? For all we know the intent here could just be that she wants them more circumspect . Or she wants them to help persuade viewers to their point of view instead of being truly nonpartisan. Knowing liberals I wouldn't place any bets on anything substantially changing here. Maybe in a year or two I'll be pleasantly surprised but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Bari Weiss is NOT a liberal

that's why the leftists are freaking out

Bari apparently spiked a segment on 60 Minutes that was critical of the CECOT facility that housed illegal aliens we shipped to El Salvador. Lots of angry journalists.

Bari Weiss apparently spiked Sharyn Alfonsi’s 60 Minutes segment on CECOT for political reasons.
Here’s her email to the news staff.

This Sharyn person is a political hack. Sorry, she is not someone with any credibility.

They just can't help themselves. They are obsessed with trying to invent a scandal for FL where none exists.

Publix has over 800 locations in FL. It is by far the most prominent story in the state. It's the obvious choice for vaccinations. Also, Publix donated to both parties. https://t.co/NqHq3QcvHX

I wish for every left leaning editorial put out, the same outfit is forced to put out a counterpart right leaning editorial.

I took journalism classes. It was drilled into us about making sure to use terms that were completely neutral to avoid adding any sort of bias to what we were saying.

1. Start the story with current events, not what happened in the past.
2. Make sure your word choices are completely neutral and convey no bias.
3. Keep your headline short, limited to x number of characters max.

Granted, it's been 25+ years since I've take journalism, but I do remember those key points. And 99% of all stories put out today by BOTH sides may be "true", but word choice is intentionally chosen in a biased manner.

For example, saw a headline recently that was something to the effect of "Man Dies from Material Found in 95% of all Home Kitchens".

Then you read the article....it was a lifelong quarry worker who inhaled mining dust over several decades and eventually developed a lung disease. So while headline isn't technically "false", it was obviously framed in a way to get people to freak out about something in their kitchen that's slowly killing them and their family.

Weiss…strikes back.

She also provided more information in a call with the staff.

Quote:

---

Weiss addressed the backlash during a network-wide editorial call, saying she held the segment because "we simply need to do more," according to a recording reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. [....]

She said the only newsroom she wants to run is one where editors can have "contentious disagreements" while assuming "the best intent" of colleagues an implicit criticism of "60 Minutes" correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi.

"The only newsroom that I'm interested in running is one where we are able to have contentious disagreements about the thorniest editorial matters and do so with respect and crucially where we assume the best intent of our colleagues," Weiss said on the editorial call on Monday.

---

She didn't like that they hadn't gotten a comment from the Trump administration, although Alfonsi said they had reached out.

Quote:

---

The Times reported that Weiss first reviewed the segment Thursday and requested numerous changes over the following days, including asking producers to seek a fresh interview with White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller or another senior Trump administration official.

Weiss also raised concerns about referring to the deported Venezuelans as "migrants," noting they were in the US illegally, people familiar with the discussions told the Times.

---

Ooh, that last part is really going to make the left nuts. But I love it. It's about time someone went after liberal media for this effort to change the language to support their narrative. They aren't "migrants," and they aren't "undocumented," and much of the liberal media wants to hide the illegality behind these terms. Could there be a reset to reality coming?

Weiss said there had already been reporting on CECOT by the New York Times, and it was critical to do more to get the principals on the record.

Quote:

---

"To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else," Weiss said on Monday.
"That is my North Star and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom."

---

Oh my gosh, journalism, and what more are you adding to the question, rather than just pushing the Democratic narrative?

More at the link (Redstate).

Liars kicking and screaming as they get called out

On the one hand, Bari’s notes about the segment in that memo today don’t seem unreasonable to me.

On the other hand, it is incredibly funny that none of them were like “we should probably make sure none of the foreign broadcasters that air 60 Minutes scheduled this to go up” https://t.co/D7s4xlO38V

Not

NPR is not CBS fake news, but it is a long-time bastion of communist lies really, so in many ways similar to 60-minutes. They have now banned going to their favorite law prof for quotes on any/everything, after noticing he'd been used as an expert at least 77 times for their propaganda.

That's not free speech, it's defying your employer. Thats a fireable offense.

So we are lead to believe that the reporter reached out to the Trump administration and no one got back to them? Yeah, I have some really great ocean front property in SW Kansas that is ripe for development. Steven MIller, Homan, Noem, any number of interested parties are all over the media.

No kidding. Steven Miller would jump at this chance.

it's strategic silence from the white house. weiss says the story can't run unless the white house comments on it. the white house doesn't respond so cbs won't run it.

now that cbs has management friendly to trump, this sets the precedent that they can quash negative coverage regardless of veracity by simply declining to comment on it and making a phone call to Weiss's boss.

Good Bari.

CBS News is still really just a parody of an actual news organization. That this woman (and Scott Pelley) still works there just proves the point.

This is so important. The real story in the German prosecutors gloating about how they destroy people’s lives over Facebook posts was not that the Germans do it, but that 60 Minutes was enthusiastically celebrating it as a model the United States should follow. https://t.co/jx8nzbR1G5

Exactly! I love how the reporter is worried about 60 Minutes reputation. Yeah, that went out the window about 25 years ago. Nothing but shills for the left.
