Weiss also said, “News is in the eye of the beholder. And, the beholder is Donald Trump. Next week we”ll have a 60 Minutes on “How Much Better Federal Buildings Look With His Name Slapped on Them.”
As soon as possible, we will all gather in the appropriate places with appropriate tools and pry every reminder of this horror show off every place it defaces---right?? Who's with me?
This is what I've been day-dreaming every since I heard about the changes. Literally, you've been in my head - this thought is where I go to find joy these days.
Except, tragically, the divisive hatred and lowering opinions he sowed or gave unlimited power to express in the minds of a great many people. Things already there, like racism and misogyny, and new things, like anti-education, or at least education that can often unlock barriers such as racism and sexism.
We all better see Mt Rushmore quickly before trump blasts the faces off the monument and replaces them with one huge, fat trump face with little noem, Patel, bondi, miller, rfk jr, hegseth, musk (maybe) faces orbiting above his like an evil halo. Add in any faces I’m forgetting (I just woke up).
He’ll do it. And he’ll call it All the King’s Cabinet.
(And declare it the “best, most bigly national monument in America and the best, most bigly 8th wonder of the world.” The plaque underneath will give the site an entire new history, erasing everything that’s actually true.)
This could actually happen! As CBS becomes TBS -- or DJTBS (even though there is already a TBS which the Orange could eliminate with a swipe from his autopen)
All the news that fits. Soon to be called 60 seconds. “We regret to inform you that tonight’s story on the holocaust can’t be aired since Hitler hasn’t had a chance to review. “
Take a moment to thank our Canadian friends for posting the CECOT story; it may have inadvertently become the most watched 60 Minutes segment in history...and CBS won't even get the viewing ratings.
Will Weiss get the credit if Trump declares a new tariff against Canada?
Andy, Please start a go fund me page to send Trump back to Epstein's Island, but limit donations to not include any food, just Kristi Noem and her gun.
And Robert Reich! And Civic Shout, The Intercept, Common Cause and soooo many other voices in the dark. Resistance is strong and it’s smarter than this regime!
I need to toss in the Associated Press as well. As soon as I ditched my WAPO subscription, I took the money I would save and contributed it to AP. It is the longest running unbiased news source in the business and needs our support.
The current “brain trust” at See BS News seems to have forgotten that Canada could broadcast what they attempted to censor here. Perhaps the new Voice of America will be broadcast from Ontario these days.
That likeness is scary. Which of Metamucilini's misguided wives is Eric's mother? Who is junior Ellison's mother? Could there be a mix up of parentage? Was Ellison senior also an "investor/client/friend" of Epsteins? I'm truly saddened that I can no longer enjoy 60 minutes, Sunday Morning (both of which were staples in my house while growing up in the 60's & 70's). Another one bites the dust. Thank goodness for MSNOW and Substack? Happy f***ing Xmas.
I watched CBS news last night and it was glaringly absent in any political news. The headliners were a several minute piece about a small plane that crashed into Galveston Bay, an explosion in a senior care center that killed no one and severe flooding in California that hasn't happened yet. This wasn't news; it was an episode of Weather CBS has Gone Viral.
I changed my mind. Last night's news was an episode of 'America's Funniest Videos'. I'd like to see a news show called 'The Good News' featuring only good news.
Ellison looks like he's 17. People that age don't like news. CBS Evening News will be replaced by 'Barney'. Speaking of which, here are my 4 predictions for 2026.
1. Trump won't finish his term. Either he is kicked out because of his iniquities (medical term for rotten testicles) or mental deficiency forces him out or he dies of natural causes.
2. Trimp changes his mind about the great Presidential Ball Room (PBR) midway thru construction and instead builds a bigger and better Pickle Ball Court (PBC).
3. A month after completion Tromp issues an executive order to tear it down because the noise caused by the sport is preventing him from falling asleep during meetings.
4. In a surprise move Michelle Abama runs for President on the republican ticket and wins thanks to the efforts of MAGA supporters (Make Abama Great Again).
What do you mean, Linda??!! Every second of every day, I suspect a bullet is flying thru the air somewhere in America, looking for a random passerby. Is that a natural cause?
Remove the C from CBS...and you have "BS"
The Ellisons would also like to remove the C from CNN = No News
See No News (borrowing from earlier comment)
Hear no news. Speak no news.
see no news. Only MAGA propaganda
Change the "C" to "B", and you have "Bari's Bull Shit".
Let’s see; the C could stand for Cowardly, Crazy, Crappy…any other suggestions?
and the intro to the former 60 Minutes, will be "tick, tick, boom"
More like tick.. tick..pfft.
<snort laugh>
Next up in emojis: <snort laugh>
😅👏👏
(Seen the movie? It’s really good.)
clearly
Very good. CBS-
Cowardly Broadcasting Service.
It’s a blessing Ed Murrow and Walter Cronkite are not alive to see this.
I feel the same about Katharine Graham & Ben Bradley with the Washington Post. All of these folks are rolling over in their graves.
Creepy?
At least CBS left trumps name off the kennedy center honors last night.
probably an oversight for which they WILL be admonished
See....BS.
How 'bout; "C for Complicit?"
but does she use Ivanka's definition of "complicit" or the real definition?
I don't think she even knew what the word means--she's as fraudulent as her father
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7o4oMKbStE&list=PLS_gQd8UB-hL6AA6A4ubhDhTHKGkgkUlp&index=3
(sorry about the ads)
thanks!
Ivanka publicly acknowledged that she does not know the definition of 'complicit'
Weiss-Scheiße. 4 minutes of slobbering Trumpf-Poo every Sunday night.
Too close to "Two Minutes Hate" for comfort!
See BS
Brilliant!!!
Likewise, remove the S from CBS and you are left with Cowardly Bastards...also a definition of the Republican party.
Weiss also said, “News is in the eye of the beholder. And, the beholder is Donald Trump. Next week we”ll have a 60 Minutes on “How Much Better Federal Buildings Look With His Name Slapped on Them.”
As soon as possible, we will all gather in the appropriate places with appropriate tools and pry every reminder of this horror show off every place it defaces---right?? Who's with me?
I'm in. We'll have a bonfire.
Including the engraved lies on all those plaques below the photos in the presidential hall.
Especially those lies!!
With one addendum: Trump's official WH portrait will be a photo of a smear of excrement.
...inside a barred enclosure. maybe just a blank white canvas...?
As it should be!
Bonfire of the Vanities
The Bonfire of the Vanities. Sort of an Oscar, only made of lead.
Oh, yeah...!
I'll bring the Genie lift.
Oh, thank you! I was hoping someone had one!!
Safety harnesses- lanyards - hard hats - everything we need.
I imagine the Smithsonian will want them for an exhibit on democracy.
Yes! Oh, yes, please!!!
That's Meg Ryan's line.
I'm in, Linda McCaughey!
This is what I've been day-dreaming every since I heard about the changes. Literally, you've been in my head - this thought is where I go to find joy these days.
We need to make it abundantly clear that there is nothing he can do that we cannot undo!
Except, tragically, the divisive hatred and lowering opinions he sowed or gave unlimited power to express in the minds of a great many people. Things already there, like racism and misogyny, and new things, like anti-education, or at least education that can often unlock barriers such as racism and sexism.
Me too
Only after documenting it for the history books.
Count me in! I'll bring fortification!
She can just borrow Wall Street Journal Editorial titles. A few recent examples (not making any of them up):
How the Supreme Court Can Improve Politics
Trump's Foreign Policy is Surprisingly Good for the World
America Needs More Husband Material
The Trump Rebound
Europe's Foolish War on X.com
Why is Autism Exploding? Welfare Fraud is One Reason
I sometimes think they are auditioning for a job at The Onion. Weiss would fit right in with that crowd.
My ears get red just reading the headlines. Tranquilizers definitely needed to wade into one of those stories.
I wonder if he'll try billing the country for licensing fees for everything he plasters his name on?
That’s an AWESOME thought! And if it isn’t paid, of course he’ll sue!!!!
We all better see Mt Rushmore quickly before trump blasts the faces off the monument and replaces them with one huge, fat trump face with little noem, Patel, bondi, miller, rfk jr, hegseth, musk (maybe) faces orbiting above his like an evil halo. Add in any faces I’m forgetting (I just woke up).

Don't give him any ideas!
Luckily, he doesn’t likely read TBR! 😉
That’s a misquote. Didn’t he actually say “News is in the behind of the beholder…”?
Surrounded by cheesy gold
This could actually happen! As CBS becomes TBS -- or DJTBS (even though there is already a TBS which the Orange could eliminate with a swipe from his autopen)
All the news that fits. Soon to be called 60 seconds. “We regret to inform you that tonight’s story on the holocaust can’t be aired since Hitler hasn’t had a chance to review. “
Bingo! Best comment yet!
<appreciative applause>
Take a moment to thank our Canadian friends for posting the CECOT story; it may have inadvertently become the most watched 60 Minutes segment in history...and CBS won't even get the viewing ratings.
Will Weiss get the credit if Trump declares a new tariff against Canada?
Who was it who suggested New England become a new Canadian province. I'm game!
The left coast is ready Robin.
We Coloradans want to be a Canadian province too! That’d be so awesome.
And Michigan, especially the U.P.! 'I can see Canada from my house!!'
And New York, and considerable swaths of PA, NJ, DC and maybe even DE. At least my part of PA. (Too old and not wealthy enough to emigrate.)
Oh Canada, the true north strong and FREE!
Absolutely! Love that place, and many of the people who live there are cherished friends!
Andy, Please start a go fund me page to send Trump back to Epstein's Island, but limit donations to not include any food, just Kristi Noem and her gun.
Send him to CECOT.
Thats my vote! CECOT!
trump's Elba! However, I'd rather it be in a deserted island off Africa.
Point Nemo.
No Walter Cronkite. No 60 Minutes. Thank God for Fareed Zakaria and for the PBS NewsHour,
Heartfelt thanks for Rachel Maddow, Heather Cox Richardson, Paul Krugman, and Joyce Vance. The very best in the business. 🙏
And Robert Reich! And Civic Shout, The Intercept, Common Cause and soooo many other voices in the dark. Resistance is strong and it’s smarter than this regime!
Don't forget Mary Trump!
And Jim Acosta!
Lawrence O'Donnell too as he tells it like it is!
I thank God for Reveal and Mother Jones....
And for Ali Velshi
I’ll add the Intercept, ProPublica, and there are others, oh Just Security is good too.
He’s already gone after PBS and NPR. But the donors have stepped up.
And The Guardian! And Mother Jones! And others already mentioned.
Don’t forget Mehdi Hasan, Nicole Wallace and Lawrence O’Donnell
I realized it might be a good thing PBS was refunded, at least for the time being.
Autocorrect, defunded
Dee,
Just fyi, you can always edit your [own] comment by tapping on the 3 dots to the right of it.
Good to know. Thanks.
I learned this from jb months ago! Life changer!
Thank you. I needed to do that.
Amy Goodman @ Democracy Now. Pod Save America. Pod Save the World. Robert Reich. Stephen Colbert. Jon Stewart.
I need to toss in the Associated Press as well. As soon as I ditched my WAPO subscription, I took the money I would save and contributed it to AP. It is the longest running unbiased news source in the business and needs our support.
And a new one: Tangle. Try it!
I find it interesting that the people who are against censorship on social media are all for it everywhere else.
The supreme court will clear all that first amendment confusion up with a few shadow docket pronouncements.
The Supremes are questionable. The majority have turned their backs on us.
Beyond question.
Definitely! The Trump Supremes!
Thanks for your ever-present humor in these humorless times.
When it comes to news, the Guardian is free of Billionaire Bias...
Andy Rooney is spinning in his grave. Oh how I would love to hear his take on the hot mess that is now 60 Minutes.
All the original 60 Minutes crew are spinning with Andy, I’m sure.
Four minutes including three and a half minutes of commercials….
for tRump's products . . . the bankrupted ones will be resurrected and gilded in cheap gold paint (even the steaks!)
The current “brain trust” at See BS News seems to have forgotten that Canada could broadcast what they attempted to censor here. Perhaps the new Voice of America will be broadcast from Ontario these days.
Yes! During WWII my British mother listened to Radio Free Europe-maybe we can have Radio Free America broadcast from Canada?

Annette, they're deadly but they're kosher.
😅😅

When I watch the news
ai expect precise reporting on our country’s
…..I expect precise and well documented facts…not blather🎄
Sadly, 2 people are known dead from that explosion.
Reporters for CBS news maybe? Gas was smelled 2 days prior and nothing was done about it.
Imagine my joy at seeing "the lucky sperm club" which i used in a magazine article in the early 70s!
Did you invent that? It has become common parlance!
Did you invent that? It has become common parlance / My ma did the same. 🤗
And here I thought it was Amy Tan.
She's maybe 15 years junior to me...
Oh I realize now that I was confused. Just seeing joy, luck and club in order threw me off track:-)
How old is she?
I think Eric's mom is no longer with us.
The turds who now run once-proud CBS News
Make it clear that they have neither scruples nor clues.
Where once Eric Sevareid broadcast his views,
The staff is now leaving by ones and by twos.
And that fine ticking stopwatch that heralded Rather
Now announces an hour of MAGAfied Blather.
If you must spike your story of outlaws like ICE,
Take that call from the White House,
Then call Bari Weiss.
Ellison looks like he's 17. People that age don't like news. CBS Evening News will be replaced by 'Barney'. Speaking of which, here are my 4 predictions for 2026.

Doesn't have to be natural causes, right?
What do you mean, Linda??!! Every second of every day, I suspect a bullet is flying thru the air somewhere in America, looking for a random passerby. Is that a natural cause?
<snort laugh> Best prognostications ever (especially #4)
Sounds more and more like he'll get it from his own team.
Easy to make it look like "natural causes".
