Bari Weiss praising Peter Thiel at an awards ceremony last night. By his own admission - Peter Thiel doesn't believe in democracy. Bari Weiss has already destroyed CBS and may probably do the same to CNN on behalf off the Trump supporting billionaire Ellison family.

What's the point of CBS or 60 Minutes anymore ? Horrible Bari Weiss has turned them into MAGA propaganda. CBS should be re-branded ' Fox News II ' and subsequently closed down. CBS as it once was is in the grave with the legendary Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow.
