  1. I'm not saying it moves the needle a lot. But I don't look at rejecting CBS News as giving up. It's taking a stand.
  2. What are the other options? Staying the course which ends up validating and normalizing this stuff? The potential cancellation of 60 Minutes and downfall of CBS News is gonna set off more alarms than a continued Trumpified version of it.
  3. All of these results should be framed as "a quite startling underperformance for Republicans". It's a more factual read on what is happening. There is no Democratic Party momentum. People are rejecting the GOP and Trump.
  4. That's not the bar they're trying to set. You're buying her bullshit. The whole point of Ellison and Weiss taking over CBS News is to normalize pro-Trump and pro-Israel "policies" and rhetoric. They will enthusiastically rehash "old" stories if it paints Trump and/or Israel in a positive light.
  5. 60 Minutes asked the Trump administration to comment/participate, and they refused to do so.
  6. If Joffrey Baratheon and Ramsay Bolton had a baby, the first shit that baby takes would be JD Vance.
  7. You can't "fight the good fight" as a CBS journalist in this situation. Ellison gave Bari the keys to create a "palatable" pro-Trump and pro-Israel news division. The goal is to manipulate and further shift the Overton window right with middle of the road viewers. If the key staff members all leave, that will get tons of coverage and longtime 60 Minutes viewers will walk away from the show. In the end, ratings are all that matter. If people stop watching, then Bari Weiss fails.
  8. Good. That's fine, let her have it. No one would watch Bari's vision of 60 Minutes, it would effectively kill off the show. This is a line in the sand moment.
  9. This fucking cunt.
  10. As expected, Bari Weiss has destroyed CBS News.
  11. WIth the "basketball" being a severed head of an immigrant, and the hats proudly being "MADE IN THE USA" (aka Alligator Alcatraz pre-deportation slave camp).
  12. I mean, we've been talking about this for years. Outside of this past offseason, Sark has been an excellent off the field coach. Generally made good coaching hires, top tier recruiting classes, and effective portal additions with solid player retainment. In that role as "CEO", he's generally been very good. The culture feels like its still in a good place even after this very rocky season. His biggest issues have been on game day. Whether it's been poor second half adjustments, play calling, or overall game management and decision making. That's where the warts come out. Probably the lowlight example of all this was the Georgia game in Austin last year. Benching Ewers in the first half felt like a total panic move to me. Quinn was terrible, don't get me wrong, but the way that was handled was really poor. IMO it was a sign that Sark was overwhelmed in that moment. He's gonna be the playcaller, period. So lightening his overall responsibilities on game day makes sense.
