JUST SAYING

BY

RAUL HERNANDEZ

*****

Bari Weiss and David Ellison

This woman lacks integrity, and her credibility is woefully lacking.

The nation should help Bari Weiss “find a way” out the door by boycotting CBS and making the network so unprofitable that its owner, David Ellison, is forced to sell it to a reputable leader Someone who will demand that accuracy, fairness, and balance are the standard in American journalism.

The goal must be a newsroom where all voices—conservative, liberal, and independent—are heard, and where facts are the gold standard, not opinions, half-truths, and delusions.

Instead, CBS is transforming itself into Fox II—a place where everything Trump does can be explained away, and wars are framed as necessary and patriotic.

The ratings of CBS’ 60 Minutes — long regarded as a solid investigative news program — will tank. Thanks to Weiss and her handler Ellison.

This is part of a larger and deeply troubling trend. Billionaires such as Larry Ellison and Jeff Bezos are buying newspapers and television networks, not merely as business investments, but as instruments of political influence. They are using vast media platforms to shape public opinion, curry favor with powerful politicians, and advance their own financial interests.

In the process, journalism risks becoming less about informing the public and more about serving the ambitions of wealthy owners who view democracy as just another opportunity for profit.
