2. But... but... Bari Weiss, though

Wednesday

I had never heard of her before all of the bullshit with CBS. Or the Free Press, and I read news all the time. I spend less time these days because of Trump, but you can't escape his miasma. When I hear Free Press, I think of the Detroit Free Press.

I still don't get why the reins were handed over to Weiss. I never noticed her columns in the NYT, but I was on a news diet for the Trump years. I would read the opinion section often, though.
