Trump fluiffer-slash-fangirl Bari Weiss is pissed at Anderson Cooper not openly sobbing and thanking her on exit

[Miles Archer]

According to Status, Weiss was “furious” after seeing Cooper’s attack on her tenure at CBS News. Sources said Weiss was not given advance notice of Cooper’s comments and was “effectively blindsided” when she saw them.

“The 42-year-old editor was also not especially pleased by Cooper using the CBS News platform to take a thinly veiled swipe at her,” Status’ Oliver Darcy wrote. “And it must have especially hurt after Weiss personally made overtures to Cooper with the aim of giving him a larger presence at the network, only for the star anchor to turn her down.”

The departure of Cooper, CBS News’ biggest star, was one of the clearest indications of how much the network has changed since Weiss was parachuted in as editor-in-chief by Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison.

2. lol. Anderson Cooper comes from old money.

He's the descendant of previous generations of robber barons. He's earned hundreds of millions of his own money and doesn't have to answer to Bari Weiss, who is an opportunist who jumped on the right wing bandwagon as a college student to get in good with the bullies in power.

9. To say he comes from "old money" is like saying "it's windy" during a hurricane.

This was the home of railroad-baron George Vanderbilt. If I recall correctly, George is Anderson's great-great-grandfather.

The Biltmore, now a museum, is the largest private residence ever constructed in the USA.

3. How fucking embarrassing...

4. Precious has had her fee-fees hurt by ungrateful staff

“Even those with the thickest skin can find that level of scrutiny difficult to endure. But Weiss, in particular, has let it get to her, privately expressing frustration to associates with the way she is covered.”

Pro tip: If you don’t want to be covered in a negative light, don’t do shitty things to deserve it.

8. Being unqualified and installed by the Ellison nepo baby with the intention of pleasing Trump is not helping her

It was a crass move, like installing alcoholic sexual abuser and Fox "News" InfoTainment personality Hegseth as the head of the pentagon.

If she'd actually earned her way into the position, she'd still be a right winger, but she's nothing more than an "opinion blogger," and her insistence on being taken seriously is laughable at best.

5. Hey Bari, we're saying "fuck you!", not "thank you!".

Go fuck off and eat all of the shit.

6. She's mad he wouldn't go-along-to-get-along.

Good for him.

7. Someone needs to tell Bari that she's not entitled to

anything. What you put into the world comes back to you.

What she puts out is...horrific.

I find it difficult to believe that monster (Bari Weiss) actually has human feelings.

[Miles Archer]

12. I knew, and worked with, people just like her.

Male AND Female. People who were not liked by their fellow employees, who always had a sense of entitlement, who rose in the ranks by purely political means, rather than merit.

She's actually getting off EASY, considering how she got the job, and her complete lack of qualifications.

16. OH me too!

I've worked with them and seen that they don't know how to do anything except flatter the right people and say the thing they want to hear rather than what's actually true.

Then, the people who actually do the work get fired when things go bad, because they blame the competent workers who tried to make the thing that would never work, work.

Her biggest talent seems to be blaming others for her own failures.

10. No Bucks, No Bari

Nothing repels sponsor dollars more than crappy programming and diminishing audiences. THe Ellisons may have a lot of money but they sure don’t like losing it. Bari is on borrowed time… tick tick mfer

15. Chris Licht

Licht became the sacrificial lamb after CNN'S "Trump Town Hall" debacle.

ALL OF THE SHOTS are called at CNN by Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav and his boy pal John Malone, both radical right billionaires who decided that CNN was "too liberal."



Whether it's Zaslav & Malone, or the Murdochs, or the Ellisons, they are never going to make a major move without having a scapegoat firmly in place.

I'm sure the Ellisons thought that if Weiss "succeeded," then great, and if not, she'd just be taken out to the gravel pit with Cricket.

13. Oh, dear, did he hurt her fee-fees?

Isn’t that too gosh-darn bad?
