1. Like Fat Donnie, she totally inspires confidence-IN THE FACT SHE CAN'T PROPERLY USE THE CAPS LOCK KEY.

7. It's not just

That it's considered shouting, but there's the issue of readability. How the eye and brain processes the written word to be able to absorb and understand its meaning.

All caps is terrible for readability; your eye wanders, your brain tend to skip over lines and there is far less retention of facts. She's in the media; she must know this.

2. Post is blocked on Bluesky.

5. It worked for me, however, I couldn't manage to read it all

It became extremely boring to me. Just a bunch of nonsense on how she is building her team.

3. The comments are clearer and more on point than anything she wrote.

6. "I'm so over my head, I'm going to make a lifeline call ..

Bari Weiss Unveils Sweeping Vision: “I Am Here to Make CBS News Fit for Purpose in the 21st Century”
Weiss rallied the troops and outlined her vision at an all-hands meeting Tuesday morning, naming a lineup of new contributors: "Our strategy until now has been to cling to the audience that remains on broadcast television. If we stick to that strategy, we're toast."

.... To that end, Weiss unveiled a slate of contributors, including podcasters and writers like Niall Ferguson, Andrew Huberman, Caroline Chambers and Casey Lewis. She also unveiled plans to bring on digital-first journalists who are veterans of social platforms like TikTok and YouTube.

She also showed a slide featuring Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times and CNBC anchor, with “Sorkining” overlayed on his headshot. She told staff she wants to turn CBS News reporters into news brands themselves and attract creators to the news division so that it can help them become larger brands themselves. ....

9. She writes like she's still in high school.

Worse than that, actually. Much worse.
