While no one was paying any attention, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting shut down. CPB dispensed funding to local PBS and NPR stations where actual news was being presented in long form discussions.
 
And meanwhile Bari must be scrambling over at CBS.

She frankly says that they aren't chasing the network news audience...they are obviously pivoting to try to capture a slice of the FOX crowd.

So will it work? Or does CBS lose its key demo who don't want a Fox-lite news department.

Her schtick about investigative scoops is risible after she shit the bed on the 60 minutes piece...if every one of her 'scoops' is going to have to have TrumpCo. approval and 'equal time' input before airing...CBS will be lagging way behind the stories and the news can't all be long 60 minutes in-depth pieces because viewers will tune out. As it is, I expect they will try to add TrumpCo. flaks to be commentators on the news and gradually end up with people yelling at one another.

No one with any integrity or ambition to be recognized for their work is going to work for her for very long. She is a hack blogger not a news network executive.

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."

"I have millions to spend on a lavish wedding in Venice. I have $45 million for a documentary no one wants about a woman that most people don't like. But I don't have money for a newspaper that is the paper of record for American democracy."

Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post conducts widespread layoffs, gutting a third of its staff

The Washington Post laid off about one in three employees across the company Wednesday morning, dealing another big blow to a newsroom that has reached a breaking point.

Post owner Jeff Bezos had no immediate comment about the cutbacks.

Bezos has been pushing the Post’s management team to return the publication to profitability, but many journalists at the paper have criticized his approach and questioned his motives.

“Bezos is not trying to save The Washington Post. He’s trying to survive Donald Trump,” former Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler said in a column earlier this week.

It seems the whole idea was to destroy the Washington Post...I get that it was not turning a profit, but sometimes that it more about who is at the top and the editorial policy than who is doing the work.

I suspect that with Bezos's abandoning the audience that don't want his new broligarchy libertarian vision , he just isn't getting subscribers or the adverising he wants.

The crazy thing is that Amazon alone could pay the advertising bills.

I note the comment about him 'just trying to survive Trump', but nah...he is there to actively kill legacy media.

Amazon is now just another outlet to see cheap Chinese knockoff slop. The big money is in Amazon's web service (AWS) and their megadatacenters.

"Surviving Trump" means keeping their lucrative government AWS contracts.

The Federal Trade Commission under Biden was looking closely at these tech conglomerates that own end-to-end delivery of services and who buy up any competition. It's the reason all those tech billionaires were down at Mar-A-Lago making deals in 2024 before the election. It's reason they lined up at the Trump inauguration and why they donated millions to the inaugural events. And of course, it's the reason that Bezos forked out $45 million for a documentary about a European prostitute who can barely speak English, whose name can be found repeatedly in the Epstein file..

They will do anything to avoid government regulation and breaking up of their trusts and monopolies. They will do anything to avoid the repeal of the laws that relieve them of any legal liability for the slop and lies being promulgated on their platforms.
 
Meisa Touch has written an open letter calling Bezos out for his layoffs and destruction of WaPo.

When you gut investigative reporting, you are not being neutral.
When you purge respected journalists, you are taking a side.
And when you do it as Trump and his right-wing oligarchs escalate their fascist attacks on the press, the intent is unmistakable.

But CPB and PBS do bear some responsibility just as the other legacy media do. For years, they have overdone the alternative represenation thing, to the point that now the Newshour just doesn't have anyone left with any gravitas. If we wanted to watch nobodies read predictable narratives of social protest, we could just stay on YouTube.

The female and the minority representation in discussions of the day's news are important, but when you begin to eclipse the majority altogether, you poison the well. Many times I will flip channels and see an all female panel of "journalists" on the Newshour. That's just not good enough. Men exist. And if your schrick is representative voicing, you shoot yourself when you intentionally mute the majoriity and males.

Even Newshours most senior female Washington correspondent comes across as a near inconsequential journalist. Lisa Desjardins is simply the Dan Quayle of Network News, not in the stupid sense, just not authoritative or compelling.

The tepidness is palpable. They don't deserve an audience any more than the Sunday news talk shows do now.
