“You may have heard of Bari Weiss. Ms. Weiss became famous for leaving her position as an opinion writer at the New York Times and starting the Free Press and recently being named editor-in-chief at CBS News under the pro-Trump ownership of the Ellison family. The Free Press embraced conspiracy, controversy, and ‘debate’ in a bid to earn newsletter subscribers, which resulted in backing down from Radley Balko over an inaccurate and conspiratorial George Floyd story. It’s an incredible rise, but is unlikely to end well because Bari Weiss doesn’t know what she doesn’t know. Reporting on the news requires attention to detail and accuracy that writing an opinion column doesn’t. If you’re wrong about an opinion, nobody gets sued for defamation. Wrong about material facts that damage someone’s reputation … well that’s a different story.” (12/22/25)
