CBS News Chief Bari Weiss FIRES Far-Left '60 Minutes' Executive Producer and Anti-Trump Correspondents

 The Gateway Pundit  

"Nick Bilton is one of the most entrepreneurial and ambitious journalists working today. I am thrilled that he is the next executive producer of 60 Minutes. His note here:"

"CBS News Editor-in-Chief continues draining the woke swamp at the long-compromised Sunday news program, 60 Minutes.

"The Gateway Pundit has documented for years how ’60 Minutes’ repeatedly targeted conservatives and President Trump with one-sided hit pieces while giving Democrats and their allies soft-glove treatment.

"The show’s credibility collapsed further after the disastrous Kamala Harris interview that triggered a major lawsuit and exposed its activist bent

"Bari Weiss, who famously walked away from The New York Times over its radical leftward lurch and cancel culture, is now applying the same standards at CBS.

"Under the new Skydance/Paramount ownership, Weiss was brought in with a mandate for “actual viewpoint diversity.”

"Weiss announced Thursday that she is replacing veteran executive producer Tanya Simon — a 30-year fixture at the program and daughter of legendary correspondent Bob Simon — with Nick Bilton, a tech journalist, former New York Times columnist, and documentary filmmaker with zero experience in traditional broadcast news.

"Bilton issued the following statement:

My responsibility is not just technological transformation. It is also our trust with the public.

On the very first episode of 60 Minutes Mike Wallace said: “If this broadcast does what we hope it will do it will report reality.” I can’t think of a better north star for 60 Minutes than that. Above all, that means a commitment to fairness—in story selection, in the edit room, and in the broadcast.

Now, what happens next? I’m here to lead this show, not preserve it under glass. That means honoring what works and being honest about what doesn’t. I have a notebook full of ideas. Some are about the show itself. Some are about the next generation of correspondents. Some are about the strange fact that we produce one extraordinary hour for one night a week in a world that consumes content around the clock. I’m excited to share them, and I’m confident you’ll be excited by them, too.

A response to Graham Platner

 Power Line 

"A real man by the lights of the Democratic Party, he presents himself as “relatable” to working-class Americans, but in reality he’s a typical elitist who believes blue-collar, hardworking, salt-of-the-earth rural Americans are stupid and racist." 

"Maine’s Graham Platner is one of the vile candidates for the United States Senate that the Democratic Party has vomited up and into public prominence. He recently attacked Army combat vet and Purple Heart recipient Teddy Daniels. I have posted a thumbnail photo of Daniels on the home page. Fox News caught up with Daniels for a video response to Platner that is posted here.

"The editors of the Wall Street Journal also reached out to Mr. Daniels for comment. Today’s Journal has published his column “I’m the Soldier Graham Platner Mocked.” Mr. Daniels writes at the top of his column:

Mr. Platner presents himself as a savior for working-class Americans while his background screams the opposite and his offensive comments about fellow veterans—including me—speak poorly of his character.

The tough-talking Marine veteran struts around in a Carhartt jacket and jeans, but recent reporting relates that he comes from a prestigious family where he had access to an elite private-school education and a lifestyle of privilege. He also plays up his job as an “oyster farmer,” but the only client mentioned in his federal financial disclosure was the restaurant his mother owns.

He concludes:

Mr. Platner has been caught disparaging the service of fellow veterans like decorated Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and Vice President JD Vance. He also disparaged me while commenting on a viral video of a firefight in which I sustained numerous wounds from a Taliban ambush. I received a Purple Heart for my injuries, but Mr. Platner cheered for my death from behind a keyboard.

Kyle, Mr. Vance and I didn’t grow up privileged. Kyle’s father worked for the phone company. We all know Mr. Vance’s story from “Hillbilly Elegy.” I was the son of a brick-mason father and a mother who worked in a textile mill." . . More...

Denounce Jew Haters as Cancer

Civis Americanus - American Thinker

"If we take what the Nazis said about Jews, Black people, Romany, Arabs, and Slavic people, and apply it to the Nazis themselves, it's pretty accurate. This includes useless eaters and Untermenschen, as most Nazis were the dregs of German society with few if any productive skills."

"Psychological warfare is almost exclusively an offensive weapon, and one does not defend with it.

"Jews are losing the culture war to Jew haters due to failure to control the language of the argument and failure to deploy targeted hate propaganda against the Jew haters.

"By "targeted," I mean the same way chemotherapy drugs are targeted against cancer and not healthy tissue. Hate must similarly be directed only at Jew haters, terrorist supporters, and other bigots, and never against anybody's race, religion, or ethnicity.

"And definitions matter. First, it's Jew hatred, not antisemitism.

"According to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), "… the neologism 'antisemitism,' coined by German journalist Wilhelm Marr in 1879 to designate anti-Jewish campaigns, was spread through use by anti-Jewish political movements and the general public." Antisemitism found its origins in pseudoscientific theories about racial differences, to the effect that some races are superior to others.

"IHRA also points out that Semites include not only Jews, but many other Middle Eastern people including Arabs — and Hitler didn't like them. either. There are videos of ethnic Arabs who proclaim gleefully that Hitler was right, that Hitler should come back, and Jews should go back to the ovens.

"I can envision a broken clock with Hitler's scowling face in the center, and his two arms giving Nazi salutes to positions on the clock, one with this Arab woman and another with a Black man who is on video giving a Nazi salute. (I just saw another of a Black man dressed as Hitler stepping on an Israeli flag.) The caption would read, "Right twice a day," with Hitler calling the Arab a "lacquered half-ape (lackierter Halbaffe)," and the black man the N word or its German counterpart. I don't call him that, no civilized person calls him that, but that is what he calls himself by saying Hitler was right." . . . More...

Mamdani Begins to Implement Communism; Many thought he couldn’t do it in New York City. He has found a way.

From the city that gave us Mayor DeBlasio, "Hot Girls For Mangione", and outlawed Big Gulp drinks.

Mamdani to be first NYC mayor in 60-plus years to skip Israel parade, vows 'safety' and 'security'  But...but... he's so good-looking!     

Frontpage Mag  

"It will all work wonderfully — until, that is, Mamdani and his friends run out of other people’s money, and the whole house of cards comes tumbling down. But they will be bringing a great deal more down with them."

"The Communist Twelver Shi’ite mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, made a major announcement on Tuesday: he is beginning to implement the Marxist seizure of property in New York City.

"He did not, of course, state that in so many words. As Marxists always do, he couched his plans in the language of social justice, claiming that he was striking out against bad landlords and providing an opportunity for all New Yorkers to live in decent, fairly-priced housing. And as is always the case with Marxist promises, Mamdani’s big announcement was an obvious and flagrant lie to cover up for his seizure of private property, not so much on behalf of the city government as for the benefit of his far-left cronies.

"Mamdani announced that he was going to seize rental properties from landlords who have not maintained them properly, and hand over ownership not to the city government, but to supposedly impartial players and fair dealers such as “community land trusts” and “non-profits.”

“'For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect,” Mamdani announced proudly, “we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

"Anyone who has been paying attention to Mamdani’s rapid rise could have seen this coming. Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani details how he has made socialized housing a centerpiece of his program ever since he entered politics. “People often ask,” he wrote on December 3, 2020, “what socialists mean when we say we want to ‘decommodify’ housing. Basically, we want to move away from a situation where most people access housing by purchasing it on the market & toward a situation where the state guarantees high-quality housing to all.”

"The plan he unveiled Tuesday would move toward that, but the state wouldn’t own the housing; non-profits would own the housing, which means that he will be giving the properties over to his friends to give them a secure source of funding in order to help the far-left consolidate its power over the city." . . . More...

The Democrats’ Luciferian Beauty Play

"Take a look at why Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won their elections, and then look at Texas Senate candidate James Talarico"

Selwyn Duke - American Thinker

What’s for certain is that the Luciferian Beauty Principle combined with the idiot vote is a toxic mix. It can deliver an absolutely beautiful package — hiding a demonic inner ugliness that’s deadly to a republic.

. . . "Do you know when I realized Mamdani would win?

"The very first time I saw him on TV.

"No, it wasn’t that Mamdani was promising to rob Peter blind to pay Paul and then send both home to rent-frozen apartments on a free bus. It was that I understand the Luciferian Beauty Principle.

"Now, you can take the following as metaphor if you’re not a theist. In Christian theology, Lucifer chose pride over God, rebelled and became the purest manifestation of evil: Satan. But he also was something else: As Lucifer, whose name means 'light bringer,' he was known as the most beautiful of angels.

"There is an all-important lesson there. It’s not just that evil doesn’t appear comic-book style, with a pitchfork and horns; it masquerades as something beautiful and impressive.

"The malevolent know how easily humans are seduced by what pleases the eye and ear. We see this, for example, whenever a man is deceived by a comely gold-digger.

"As for Mamdani, the power- and national grave-digger, he’s a good-looking young guy with an easy smile, charisma on command and the most silvery of tongues, eloquent and articulate to the hilt. Note here the studies showing that it doesn’t matter what you say; if you say it well, you will sway people. It’s a testimonial to the power of style over substance." . . .

Which can take us to AOC, whom our beloved Louisiana Senator Kennedy said is the reason there are instructions on a shampoo bottle. Beware national leaders who get their opinions from MSNOW and "The View".

"Operation Let Her Speak."

. . . "Oh, it’s empty talk, you say? Ocasio-Cortez is ignorant?

"Sure, but you are not going to vote for her no matter what. You also probably wouldn’t buy snake oil. But the snake-oil salesman doesn’t need your business. He doesn’t have to know anything about medicine. He just has to be sufficiently charismatic and glib to convince enough suckers that he does, and he becomes wealthy. That is Ocasio-Cortez.

"Rest assured, too: If she bested 10,000 other applicants, she has some skills — not at being a statesman, but a politician. 

"To cement the point, it’s instructive noting why professional commentators, and politics wonks generally, under-emphasize the Luciferian Beauty Principle. Such people are more likely than average to proceed intellectually, to evaluate candidates on their positions. But even the smartest among them can make a very human mistake: projecting your own mindset onto others." . . .

The Fan Girls are back: Young women file into court for Luigi Mangione hearing - AOL   They include a ‘Hot Girls for Zohran’ influencer and a Fulbright scholar turned sex video game creator.

NY Post: "Natero, 57, a trained pharmacist, has worked for big pharma for more than two decades, according to her LinkedIn profile. 

Weissbrot, 32, unleashed her fury at the healthcare industry Monday, when she coldly proclaimed outside the New York State Supreme Court where Mangione is on trial that Thompson’s grieving kids “are better off without him.” 

Natero meanwhile is the lead director of medical affairs for the Formulary Clinical Analysis team at CVS Health, where she’s worked since October 2021."
