When asked who is at fault for the demise of journalism, Weiss said "People that work at networks, frankly, like the one I'm speaking on right now."

Bari Weiss spoke to CNN's Brian Stelter on Sunday, and gave a striking lesson to the smug news anchor. The "world has gone mad," she said, and it's largely the fault of outlets like Stelter's own CNN.

"You write," Stelter questioned about what Weiss had written on her Common Sense publication on Substack, "'There are tens of millions of Americans who aren't on the hard left or the hard right who feel the world has gone mad.'" Stelter said with some measure of incredulity. "So in what ways has the world gone mad?"

Weiss had very clear and compelling answers.

"When you have the chief reporter on the beat of COVID, for The New York Times, talking about how questioning that the virus leaked from a Wuhan lab is racist, the world has gotten mad," Weiss said of New York Times reporter Apoorva Mandavilli, who did report that it is racist to ask if the virus was a lab leak. Mandavilli also falsely reported that 900,000 US children had been hospitalized since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was actually 63,000.

"When you're not able to say out loud and in public that there are differences between men and women: the world has gone mad. -- excerpt, rest at link above --

Bari Weiss: NYT Passed on Column About 2019 Antisemitic Killings Because Attackers ‘Weren’t White Supremacists Carrying Tiki Torches’

In an interview Sunday, journalist and former New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss charged the paper with having once turned down a column about a series of antisemitic attacks because the perpetrators “weren’t white supremacists.”

Weiss, who resigned from the Times in July 2020, told conservative commentator Ben Shapiro that she had drafted a column in the wake of two deadly attacks on Jews in late 2019, including a mass shooting at a Jersey City, NJ kosher grocery store and a stabbing at the home of a Monsey, NY rabbi during Hanukkah.

“I wrote a piece at the time … called ‘America’s Bloody Hanukkah,’ or ‘America’s Bloody Pogrom,'” she told Shapiro. “I thought it was really good column, it was really my subject. I’d written a book called “How to Fight Antisemitism;” I was Bat Mitzvah’d at the synagogue in Pittsburgh, Tree of Life, where the most lethal attack against American Jews in all of American history was carried out. I have some skin in the game, and I know a lot about this subject.”

“And I was basically called into my editor’s office and was told, ‘we can’t really run this.’ And the reason, at the end of the day why we couldn’t really run it, is that the people that were carrying out the attacks weren’t white supremacists carrying tiki torches,” Weiss continued, referring to the notorious 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

The former opinion section editor, who now runs a newsletter on the Substack platform, resigned from the Times in July 2020, publishing an open letter critical of the paper.

“That was a moment for me where I thought to myself, ‘hold on, this is news, this is important. I’m an expert in this subject, and I’m being told that it doesn’t have a place in the Times,‘” she continued on Sunday.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
