Bari Weiss's CBS Role: Propagandist, Not Pundit
Bari Weiss, installed at CBS, delivers on her unspoken job description: framing pro-Israel talking points as objective reality. Her consistent pattern of defending Israeli government policies, while claiming to simply 'ask tough questions,' perfectly mirrors the network's broader strategy. This isn't journalism; it's a carefully curated performance designed to lend an air of intellectual
credibility to positions that often ignore documented human rights abuses and the historical context of occupation. The media establishment consistently parades pundits like Weiss, who, despite their ostensible 'journo-skeptic' brand, reliably parrot US foreign policy dogma. One might wonder if CBS accidentally hired someone to challenge power, or if they knew exactly what they were getting:
another voice to validate the status quo, dressed up as a brave dissenter. The real 'courage' would be for CBS to hire someone who genuinely critiques settler colonialism, not just its PR problems.
