Former worker at the NYT loses it and rants on CNN.

The broad is right.

Hell yeah, she’s got more balls than most Americans

Bari is great on these issues.

Watch her on Maher, or The Glenn Show for other great nuggets.

With the Rogan interview and the recent Jon Stewart interview not a great week for CNN

She's totally right. The end result of cancel culture is that everyone gets canceled. If Jesus was resurrected and brought alive, they'd cancel him too. Too many losers who can't make a real difference or chiefs legitimate success, so they try to manufacture dopamine for themselves by cutting up others. Anyone involved in a cancel culture mob is a selfish, pathetic human being with no legitimate value.

That video shows nothing more than the fact that CNN allows all opinions. Steltzer wasn't defensive at all and actually was prodding her along to make clear what her opinion was

Did anyone post anything alleging what you seem defensive about?

Wow you're dumb. CNN is notoriously one-sided. This is a rarity. CNN is well-know for cuting out an interviewee when they say something that was opposite of what the expected.

You know it flagpole. You are so dishonest.

If what she so reasonably says and backs up with evidence is called "losing it" and ranting, then yes, the world has gone mad. We need more people like Bari Weiss, more people/leaders with courage, to continue to say things that go against the dominant narrative pushed by the media/academic/cultural elites, even at the risk of being called names or worse. There is strength in numbers.

Even more than this short segment on TV, it'd be great if many more people would read the stuff at Bari's Common Sense--not necessarily to be won over to her side, but simply to recognize that there are reasonable people who have different perspectives, who might have good reasons for having different perspectives. But I have great doubt that the types of people who form/participate in Twitter mobs and protests to cancel people because they have "wrong or dangerous thoughts" or are on the "wrong side of history" will read the kinds of pieces at Common Sense. Instead they'll stay in their echo chamber and keep retweeting the same narrative that they don't realize were planted in them through the combined forces of public education, media and cultural elites.

If you don't think there's a dominant narrative shaped by elites, ask yourself, "Why is it that racism (against Blacks) and anti-progressive sexuality have become the unforgivable sins in America, perhaps the two top issues that demand constant attention in the news/social media and never-ending fixes involving more and more government?" And how is that dominant narrative maintained? By canceling/shouting down/shaming/demonizing people who dare to offer counter-narratives or alternative interpretations, by choosing to air only those stories that support your narrative.

BTW, wouldn't it have been great if a journalist like Katie Couric didn't edit out RBG's thoughts about kneeling for the national anthem? Wouldn't it have been great if the nation got to hear why RBG, who's no conservative, thought that kneeling for the national anthem wasn't appropriate? So we had a journalist doing selective story-telling because 1) she knew that RBG was probably going to get canceled for having that one wrong opinion, and 2) because RBG didn't support the narrative Katie wanted the country to hear.

You multiply the Katie Courics in the media, in academia, in cultural elites who bombard people with the same messaging for decades, and that's how, as Bari Weiss says, we end up with a world gone mad.

I mean at this point everyone knows CNN is incredibly biased to the left as Fox is to the right.

Neither side is simply “just bringing us the news”. When you watch or listen to CNN you are hearing about a leftist world view. This is good to know as far as it’s good to know what the other side of the political spectrum is thinking and how they view the world but not so much if you want an unbiased news source.

The tag on the video says, "Bari Weiss Confronts Brian Steltzer...". I see no confrontation there and similarly no defensiveness from Steltzer.

It's much more than presenting a leftist world view.....They are dishonest, conniving, deceitful....and they KNOW it....Quashing the Hunter Biden Story might have thrown the election.

Fox at least tells the truth as they know/believe it.

Not true. CNN has a long history of being fair. Jake Tapper was very critical of Obama regularly. CNN has run MANY stories and opinion pieces critical of Biden so far (some of them unfairly critical). What CNN won't do is allow falsehoods and utter nonsense to be spewed (except Cuomo gave WAY too much leeway to Kellyanne Conway), so yes, when that happens, they do sometimes cut it off.

I am not dishonest, and no, I do not know that.

That is just not true. Yes CNN leans left, but just barely. CNN, ESPECIALLY ITS WEB SITE, offers up Conservative opinion pieces, has written tons of articles critical of Biden and other Democrats, etc. This mantra that CNN is the left equivalent of Fox News is just BS. There is no left-wing equivalent to the right "alternative facts" that is Fox News. Not even MSNBC is close to the bias that Fox has.

"the fact that CNN allows all opinions" could be the most delusional phrase uttered on LR in its history.

CNN is notorious for pushing “alternate facts” and is absolutely the leftist version of Fox News, along with MSNBC and NPR. CNN has gotten more radical over the past year or so to just an extent it’s very hard, if not impossible, to find a voice over at the network that says such basic biological facts as “there are two genders” or “only biological woman can hive birth” or to find a voice critical of the BLM riots.

I stand by my statement- long gone are the days where you have unbiased networks just reporting the news. Now you have networks just trying to push their views of the world on to you. Obviously there will be some on the left or the right that say “No way! Fox/CNN isn’t as biased as those other networks” but they are.

You have CNN, MSNBC,NPR on one side and Fox News, The Daily Wire and The National Review on the other. Both sides trying to create their own reality.

Oh, and just as an example of how biased CNN is. This is the top story on the front page of their website right now.

Nah. I reject all of that.

Well, you would be wrong.

Conservative Scott Jennings is a regular columnist and panelist for CNN. Jason Miller (and man, he's a BAD dude) was a regular panelist for years at CNN.

CNN's website regularly has had pieces critical of Biden. Van Jones has been critical of Biden. On Fox, Trump was doing absolutely batsh!t crazy stuff, and only Shep Smith (who had to leave) and Chris Wallace said boo about it.

You are not correct here.
