1. So. Bari thinks A.I.-generated news is nice.

2. Drop the pretext. There is CBS Mornings. There should be CBS Evenings.

No need to call it News. Mini-series narratives are all the remaining personnel can handle.

3. She is the captain of the CBS Titanic. It's not going to end well.

Nothing she's doing is working so far. Tony What'shisname isn't boosting the ratings. 60 Minutes shouldn't be messed with; it's a ratings winner. She insists on going to stories with her entourage, from what I've read, & she has no need to be there. That's costing the big brass a lot of money. The one thing they won't tolerate is a bad return on their investment, & that's what Bari Weiss is.

7. Decisions, decisions. Should they be news or "news."

8. Basically, it will be "Do what I say, no leaks, and any departure from enthusiastic admin support is grounds

for firing."

She sounds like the usual terrible manager who comes in wrecking shop and then throws a temper tantrum when things don't immediately fall her way.

9. They can just AI Fox News programs and then broadcast them branded as XOF News.

Sounds like Bari-approved Business-School "Solution" to me!

10. is it a wake?

11. Well, it's certainly not a "woke"...

12. Besides PELLY/ALFONSI/60Minutes, she's said to be targeting BRENNAN on Face the Nation

I only "discovered" BRENNAN about a year ago and liked how tough she was about not letting MAGAts do their parrot spinning. But when WEISS took over, seemed like BRENNAN was playing the game until the last couple of weeks when she was sort of back. Hence, the word that she's on the list for the big goodbye.
