bari weiss is paid very well to only give a shit about israel, and that’s all the “free press” is, her little zionist project for the zionist project

Free speech for me, but not for thee. It's the Weiss playbook.

Serious question: are our podcasts better?

billmccormickpm.bsky.social•22 days ago

She is useless

mclowder.bsky.social•22 days ago

She's a lying fraud.

livviesjam.bsky.social•22 days ago

Lol Bari Weiss isn’t the free press. She’s a dutiful soldier in the Ministry of Propaganda.

jtbakes.bsky.social•22 days ago

Its not free press if he only talks with Fox and sympathetic people like Weiss.

missscarlett22.bsky.social•22 days ago

If journalism courses teach ppl to approach an obvious threat to democracy the way the current pool of journalists has approached it then journalism courses don't seem to be of much value.

Bari Weiss is not a journalist. She is a propagandist.

verajs.bsky.social•22 days ago

And my Fox loving ex-parents soak her up. They have no concept of reality.

jods1221.bsky.social•22 days ago

The show should be called Dishonestly. 🙄

dantheguitarman.bsky.social•22 days ago

I think I remember when Weiss was a journalist. Man, am I old.

Why share? It’s like reading junk mail.

guillotinewit.bsky.social•22 days ago

I really want to ask Marco what part of the US constitution obligates me to respect his religion.

drekarbt.bsky.social•22 days ago

Right it’s for mutual gain:more subscribers or listeners & an unchallenged, fully controlled message gets to be platformed

andrewmceo.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bari Weiss is a worthless f*cking c*nt. Nobody bangs that fugly b*tch.

spacemanspiff66.bsky.social•21 days ago

All these "independent" podcasters do is suck up to the Trump mob family.

windsorns.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bari Weiss gave up ALL claims of being a credible journalist years ago. There are credible conservative journalists. She is NOT one of them.

beatz4freakz.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bari Weiss will always suck

ktm2013.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bari Weiss. Say no more.

adamsullivan.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yet I thought she was all angry about not having free speech like 5 years ago? It's weird how it's no longer a thing she cares about.

mozi-54.bsky.social•22 days ago

Pure propaganda

bobbymax716.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yep she a fraud. Bill Maher loved her anti progressive contrarian views. It was all schtick.

pfiore8.bsky.social•22 days ago

so she's decided to be a player and if it all falls apart, does she think we'll forget?

i don't know what is going through the minds of some of these fools

cminga.bsky.social•22 days ago

Weiss didn’t ask any tougher questions of Republicans when she was at the New York Times than she does on her own podcast. At least now Rubio can’t pretend he’s spoken to the media when he goes on a fangirl podcast.

youtackything.bsky.social•22 days ago

The anti-Chotiner.

ikhandi.bsky.social•22 days ago

Man, was running low on reasons Bari sucks.

modoubtingthomas.bsky.social•22 days ago

She's ensuring they come after at least 320 million other Americans before they come for her.

jojosantx.bsky.social•22 days ago

They want to make everyone believe he’s just a normal guy and then you go and post it for them to reach other audiences. Stop advertising for them!

artimuscode.bsky.social•21 days ago

She’s a hack and grifter. Dod you really expect her to challenge him on anything given her intelligence to so low.

michaelcpaul.bsky.social•22 days ago

“Mr. Secretary, how have the years spent cultivating a myth as an escapee from Castro’s Cuba (that your family left in 1956 ) helped you to violate the first amendment rights of people in the United States since becoming Secretary of State?”

michaelcpaul.bsky.social•22 days ago

How has working for a profoundly godless president who merely uses religion for political gain helped you to pick those hypocritical Bible verses that you post every day on social media?

popeye2.bsky.social•22 days ago

That's because Bari Weiss is a cynical propagandist and a hypocrite.

concordski-andy.bsky.social•22 days ago

And a bloodthirsty bigot.

isosolies.bsky.social•22 days ago

She's pro Israel isnt she? They'll forgive anyone anything if they support Israel. The ADL are now saying the President should have the right to control the speech of entities that it gives money to, in relation to Harvard et al.

asmrrmsa.bsky.social•22 days ago

Isn’t that why Fox News exist?

wardwellian.bsky.social•22 days ago

Expecting Bari Weiss to practice actual journalism is like expecting a dog not to bark.

squeakins85.bsky.social•22 days ago

Fuck Bari weiss

dvjamieson.bsky.social•22 days ago

When the gov't uses your interview as a press release, you haven't done your job as a journalist.

dumpdrumpf.bsky.social•22 days ago

Lil’ Marco regularly shows that he is not just small in stature, but also in character.

I hope his decision to ally himself with Trump becomes an anchor weighing down what’s left of his career.

misslysinyc.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bari Weiss is a monster, wouldn't expect much from her

kimoco.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bari Weiss sucks regardless if it is a podcast or a column.

hannasazi.bsky.social•22 days ago

Or you're Gavin Newsom and you spend the time talking about how much you have in common with (checks notes) Steve Bannon and Roger Stone whilelaughing.

If she was the kind of person who’d challenge him, she wouldn’t be given the interview

dractand.bsky.social•22 days ago

Don’t Post. You guys have to DISMISS those “reporting/podcast” or otherwise. If your association of JOURNALISTS can’t enforce what’s TRUE or what’s FALSE, we can close shop and call a quit. Game over.

bolloxim.bsky.social•22 days ago

I think that is the crux of modern day politics and media interaction vs yesteryear when it was just a TV news or newspapers. Now its any old hack, willing to prostrate themselves for 'views and likes', compromise their integrity, fail to uphold an ethical standard and are plainly morally decrepit

therealbrent.bsky.social•22 days ago

One of the absolute biggest frauds around. It’s almost refreshing to deal with open fascist thugs like Homan over these people who lie to themselves about who they are.

projekction.bsky.social•22 days ago

What about Rubio though?

immigcoalition.bsky.social•22 days ago

Why are you promoting Bari Weiss? Her attacks on anti genocide protestors helped the narrative that's led to arrests of college students. This is a mistake Mehdi.

aggiewill666.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bari worst. Sold out to become fox lite

renfronicusdadicus.bsky.social•22 days ago

Oh yes. Softball questions like- Is trump a great president, or the greatest?

stephanieshultz.bsky.social•22 days ago

Where’s Ted Cruz and his podcast been?

tomsusanto.bsky.social•22 days ago

podcasts succeed because they set the appearance of intimacy and intellectual depth yet are the conversational equivalent of paying for sex with a prostitute. there’s no actual depth, just the motions

paperbagrider.bsky.social•22 days ago

That's why I admired your coverage, Mr. Hasan. Oftentimes the people you interviewed would duck, dodge and lie. You wouldn't have it. Whereas most interviewers would let that kind of thing slide and offer no pushback, you pressed until something genuine came out.

woodydelano.bsky.social•22 days ago

This is so disappointing. Not asking direct, pointed questions is a total cop out failure.

scotchmanskm.bsky.social•22 days ago

really? you're putting the complete idiot bari weiss as an example to every podcast host. she's an idiot and a charlatan. and you're on your way to that with posts like this.

jay-baller-reborn.bsky.social•22 days ago

She’s not a journalist. She’s a right wing grifter

bklynmichael42.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bari Weiss interviewing Marco Rubio? Good lord I can’t wait to never, ever, EVER listen to that.

junebugbrown.bsky.social•22 days ago

Most so-called journalists are lazy. It’s rare that you see someone push a follow-up question. It’s like they have a check-list they have to work through. What happened to journalism schools?

spyrosnighmare.bsky.social•22 days ago

Marco is cunt and a lier he need to be arrested for his crimes he’s still a nobody and he will never be recognized and any nothing else but a cunt

Bari Weiss is a right-wing hack.

audiomaverick-jim.bsky.social•21 days ago

I tire of a republican going on a talk show and take any defensive question stance to offload a barrage of non-stop retaliatory counter statements that run out the clock. It is impressive the number of talking points they cover without punctuation, but very wearing on me.

rlogue444.bsky.social•22 days ago

I’d love to see you get a hold of him.

Yup

mrhyde010.bsky.social•22 days ago

From what I’ve seen, on most mainstream news it’s not much different, but Bari Weiss is basically a Hasbara operative, and this admin is providing cover for Netanyahu to do his absolute worst, so of course she’s doing puff pieces for Trumps crimes against humanity czar.

hombrelibre.bsky.social•22 days ago

It's the dumbing down of journalism, like much of talk radio and FOX"NEWS." It's the appearance of a journalism with group think confirming biases that suit the GOP.

sallysamsara.bsky.social•22 days ago

Two Zionists in a pod.

lyradcoulter.bsky.social•21 days ago

Bari Weiss works for Mossad. As long as everything's going Israel's way, she's fine!

sammysmoot1212.bsky.social•21 days ago

Weiss is an embarrassment.

openingmyheart.bsky.social•22 days ago

Unreal that a sitting Secretary of State is being interviewed by a racist, misogynistic, anti-DEI, Israel apologist like Bati Weiss.
