This is Bari Weiss in stonewalling, chin-out, "I won't let the haters get to me" mode. Whether she gets away with it will be determined by whether Sharyn Alfonsi's colleagues at 60 Minutes and CBS News decide to fight back. Pelley, Stahl, Cooper--this decision goes on everyone's permanent record.

Because Bari Weiss is an opportunistic political maneuverer, it probably doesn't get said clearly enough that she is also an astounding clod, in wildly over her head. The fact that she seems to have spiked this story without realizing this would happen tells you all you need to know about her.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
CBS News now has to decide if it's a news organization or a White House propaganda instrument. If it is the former, Bari Weiss should lose her job over this decision, and CBS News staffers should go public and say she does not have their confidence. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...
Some of the best (I think) material in Five Came Back is there because a librarian saw what I was working on over 3 days and asked me if I'd like to take a look at a box of old George Stevens papers that had not been catalogued yet. So no, for a ton of reasons, AI cannot "do the research for you."
At some point very soon, all of the people who make 60 Minutes are going to have to decide where their personal line is.
"Look, in fairness, I was talking to a group of racists and Nazis, and I needed to sound like them to get them on my side because no one has ever loved me, probably due to my lack of anything approaching human decency or a moral core. But what we should really be talking about is Joe Biden's failed
Ask any gay person what "theater kid," when used as an insult, means. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u...
I saw this tonight--it's a fantastically sharp, thoughtful, tough and uproariously funny take on Austen (btw one that doesn't smirk at Pride & Prejudice but attests to its brilliance), with the best comic cast I have seen in ages. This richly deserves more life in NYC and elsewhere.
Trump literally characterized this test, which he "aced," as "not easy."
As soon as I have news to share, I'll share it!
I've spent the last 5 years on a book about the complex relationship between pop culture and the gay rights movement. This thread is a good reminder that art can do a great deal, but it's slow and cumulative. It gives people new ways to think, but it's not its job to "fix" things, and it doesn't.
It's so weird that the "surprise" "vote" happened yesterday but they had the external lettering, tarps, and crew all ready to go.
He whiffed on Doctor Dolittle, as which of us doesn't? Anyway, you can all have your annual sulk about how he doesn't do those lists himself. (He does those lists himself.)
I met Barack Obama in 2007 at a small event when his run for president was just starting. He asked me what I was working on. I said, a book about the 5 1967 Best Picture nominees. He said, quickly, "So...Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, In the Heat of the Night..." >
I confess don't entirely get the Del Toro passion--it feels a little too much like a vibes pick--but I'm very impressed that the "It's time for him to have an Oscar!" campaign around him has made everyone forget that he has one. (Don't come for me, everyone--I think he's good in the movie.)
I've honestly heard more excitement about Lindo's and Mosaku's performances, and if they're struggling for slots, which they seem to be, I have trouble believing that Jordan's place is rock-solid. Maybe the movie surges and all three get in. I'll be curious what SAG does.
I feel the same way about Hawke--I think he could make a real run for it but he has to get nominated first!
