FYI. FYI when she was a kid, most of the videos of the Free Press, including Barry's podcast, barely break 10,000 views on YouTube. On a scale of 1 to 10 for online impact, this might be a 3. Whatever the $200 million is for, it's not for a real value of her blog, but for Barry's role in spouting is real propaganda and there he shows it. So now confirm that this episode, this episode of 60 Minutes led to be stripped of its editorial independence and led to the selling of CBS to David Ellison, who now plans to merge the company with Bari Weiss and the Free Press. Which was it? It was this. It was this. Sherry Redstone hoped Trump 60 minute suit would root out anti Israel bias at CBS News as she sold paramount partly over October 7, Redstone told the Times that for years she had resisted entreaties from potential suitors eager to buy Paramount. What pushed her to the finally agree to sell the family business was the October 7th massacre of an estimated 1200 Israelis. Once that happened, I wanted out, she told the Times. I wanted to support Israel and address issues around anti Semitism and racism. There's more. She told the Times that her breaking point came just days before she withdrew from settlement talks with Trump. In January this year, CBS aired a 60 minute segment featuring state Department officials who quit over American support for Israel's Gaza war, a piece the American Jewish Committee blasted as shockingly one sided, lacked factual accuracy, and relied heavily on misguided information. Redstone wasn't alone in her concerns. Days after the segment aired, George cheeks, who oversees CBS, shared Redstone's dismay about the Gaza episode, 60 Minutes, and soon appointed veteran producer Susan Zinsky as executive director to review 60 minute segments, stripping the show of its traditional independence from corporate interference. In April, the longtime executive producer of 60 Minutes, Bill Owens, departed after Zinski's appointment undermined his Autonomy. And now Israel spy Barry Weiss will be the director of cbs. This comes one week after Trump threatens to go after broadcast networks, mirroring a similar tweet from Elon last year. It's clear that they are threatening these networks to have pro Israel reporting to avoid lawfare. Here's what Donald Trump said. Despite a very high popularity and according to many, among the greatest eight months in presidential history, abc, NBC, Fake News, two of the worst and most biased networks in history give me 97% bad stories. If that is the case, they are simply an arm of the Democratic Party and should, according to many, have their licenses revoked by the fcc. I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our democracy. Maga I There's a lot of what he said in there and it's actually true. There's a lot of it. Elon Musk retweets David Sacks. He says the major broadcast networks, abc, NBC, CBS operate on free licenses of public spectrum in exchange for requirements to serve the public interest. So they get their broadcast, they get to use their bandwidth because it's limited, they get to use it for free. But they are supposed to do broadcasting in the public interest, which they don't. They do it in the interest of corporations. They no longer do. And this is an obsolete model anyway. The spectrum should be auctioned off with proceeds. And Elon Musk says, great idea, great idea. So Glenn Greenwald said, to be fair, at least there is finally some room for Israel supporters in the US corporate media. That at least is progress. So that's him being funny, he's being cheeky, as they, as they would say radical feminists were irrational. But now you see how similar the woke right is. And so there's a story. Barry Wise set to top roll at CBS News and Paramount closes in on Free Press acquisition. So that's it. So that's the. The deal, which is being finalized by Paramount's lawyers and was first reported by Puck on Wednesday, set CBS News on a course for a more conservative approach in line with CEO David Ellison's vision. The RAPS reporting suggests it's likely that Weiss is going to run CBS News. So that's it. So Israel has now taken over CBS News. Just so you know, that's what's going on. She founded the Free Press in 2022 after leaving New York Times where she was an opinion columnist. She's respected by some of her independent approach and her critique of mainstream media as too woke, but criticized by others for giving a pass to powerful people with whom she agrees, such as Elon Musk when he bought Twitter in 2022, and Peter Thiel, who she interviewed sympathetically earlier this year on her podcast, declining to push back on non answers CBS News has been a subject of a political tug of war and a target of the Trump administration, which which extracted $16 million settlement from a lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. As part of the Skydance merger, Paramount agreed to place an internal ombudsman to ensure that the news organization was even handed as part of its negotiations with the Trump administration and one of its first moves after taking over Paramount. The Ellison led leadership eliminated DEI initiatives and Paramount altogether at Paramount altogether. As a journalist who comes from the opinion columns rather than the trenches of news gathering, Weiss is sure to raise opposition within the newsroom ranks of CBS News as a top decision maker, especially in the wake of the departure of venerated CBS News executive Bill Owens and CBS News chief Wendy McMahon, both of whom cited corporate meddling in the news division as the reason for their resignations. An individual of knowledge of the deal said that Paramount did expect there to be resignations as a result of Weiss's acquisition. Weiss resigned from New York Times, blah blah blah. In her resignation letter, which she posted publicly, she accused the paper of fostering an illiberal environment where dissenting views were met with open hostility from colleagues. And so now she's going to foster in a liberal environment at CBS where dissenting views will be met with open hostility. If it's against Israel, she said she did in college like she did, she said she had been subjected to bullying both in anyway, who gives about this? Is there one more? There's one the site consistently publishes. So she's then founded for the Free Press, a site that consistently publishes pro Israel writers and also showcases journalists who abandoned mainstream media, such as Ari Berliner, a former senior business editor at NPR who left over alleged left wing bias in 2024 SE Berliner argued that NPR had shifted from an open minded, curious culture to one dominated by a progressive worldview, claiming that a lack of diverse view had undermined public trust in the outlet. Well, that's all true. NPR is horrible too. But there you go. So I guess the breaking news there is now Israel is now running CBS News. In case you were in case you're wondering what else they're not only running the White House, the State Department, our foreign policy, our whole government is being run by blackmailed pedos. They run everything. You can't Get a contract for the state. Unless you agree to support Israel. You can't go against, you can't boycott them or you're going to be thrown in jail. It's so China. You do what you want now, but don't talk about China was what they told me. I was doing comedy there. Yeah, that's what we have. Except it's not.
