Generous Bari WEISS allowing John DICKERSON featured doing interview on Sunday Morning - sarcasm.

Last edited Sun Nov 2, 2025, 12:12 PM - Edit history (1)

Am "off" of just about all network (& cable) for a couple of years, doing YouTube basically all waking hours background or dozing, but since the WEISS unpleasantness have been randomly monitoring the CBS evening news, and was less surprised than struck that DICKERSON was gone "on assignment" Thursday, in our now current paranoia seeing something nefarious. So, apparently he really was "on assignment" since the top slot on Sunday Morning is his interviewing Ken BURNS on "The American Revolution." He's doing his integrity thing of working honorably to the end, wouldn't expect otherwise of him.

Actually, I cherry pick everything - KIMMEL/COLBERT, only parts of 60 Minutes, Sunday Morning, NBC Sunday Today, SNL (cold open, Weekend Update), MAHER (monolog, New Rules, selected guests). As for YouTube - bits of podcasts on "our side" but not the clickbait/AI, with plenty to see of History, Rome/Egypt/Greece, biographies, much more.

Will update the DICKERSON if found. ON EDIT: His spot is buried at the bottom in small print of the page, no video so far:

I have looked over Paramount and nothing appealed to me. CBS in my area is owned by a puke 1% er. T V is lost with too many commercials and cheap content. IMO.

I'll bet every cent I have that this is Bari Weiss' attempt to learn the basics of the big job she's been handed

In May of 2015, in Trump Tower in NYC, Corey Lewandowski told me Trump had Roger Ailes, Jeff Zucker, and Joe Scarborough "in his pocket". And that Trump was very good friends with Bill O'Reilly.
