I spill some tea about my time at the NYT with Bari Weiss, the editor of CBS News, and how her ascent is the culmination of the broligarchy's war to crush "the woke" and pro-Palestinian activism.
More to the point, why not murderous barons? They plan to kill as many of the poors indirectly by removing social safety nets or directly in our homes, in the street with no rule of law in evidence.
It’s been evident for a long time where things were headed. I stopped watching corporate news at least two years ago and this is at least letting people know that they’re giving another version of fox on steroids.
Me, too. Don't pay any attention to MSM... decided to cancel nyt also. Tired of their incessant cheerleading for israyhell genocide in Gaza. Also, in general, they like resource wars. No longer credible to me. Top notch actual journalists are gone (e.g. Chris Hedges).
The Tom Cotton op-ed was the final, final straw for me supporting the NYT with my $. And I've always thought of Bari Weiss as a cheap Glenn Greenwald. Grifters failing upward in MAGA-land. But I guess she won that MAGA lottery. Thanks, as always, Wajahat, for your voice.
Thank you for going live and thank you for justifying for me. All the reasons that I quit all the social media sites starting with Twitter over two years ago it’s disgusting. I’ve been fighting for the rights of Palestinians since I was 18 years old and that was in the 60s Finally we see what’s happening in real life and people still let it happen These robber Barr on’s need to go
Your quote "The Free Press is a salon for the privileged laments of the powerful masquerading as the grievances of the oppressed." is absolutely delicious.
This will be a huge waste of money for the Ellison Klan! I set up a free account on “Free Press”. I specifically avoided selecting any topics related to Israel or antisemitism or the Middle East.
When I got to a “front page” it was filled with pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian propaganda. This takeover will be an Israeli Pravda. It will be a joke. Who’s going to want to pay for that shit?
Can we go back to calling them robber barons instead of just billionaires?

Yes good name : )

I stopped watching CNN quite a while ago.
I don't watch tv or read corporate newspapers.
Same - I don't even own a TV and haven't for years. Reading a book (like Waj"s) and others, plus Substack are my go-to.

Thanks for connecting the nepobaby dots! Didn’t know that guy was Katy Tur’s husband.
More reasons to support independent media & boycott oligarch owned media and their advertisers intentionally.
Already replaced 60 Minutes with the abundance of outstanding independent media!
CBS will never get another view or click from me as long as she is connected to them.
CBS news to compete with Fox “news”.
For sure. Now there will be two Robber Baron, billionaire tRump State News organizations, spewing maga lies and calling it journalism.
And we love you ❤️
Yes, we do!
Waj you are great. Please keep doing what you’re doing. If they get Substack then I’ll move over to where you will be. And I’m off CBS for any news!
Thank you, Waj. There are probably still bodies…Maybe it is just huge, huge, huge amounts of money.
With you… keep going
Truth hurts
