Bari Weiss' handpicked foreign editor referred to the allegations facing Benjamin Netanyahu as a "sideshow" and told correspondent Holly Williams she was "wrong" to try to mention them in her story, per leaked audio I obtained of Tuesday's heated internal meeting. www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...
"For the record, my biggest concern about the dictated script that was sent to me was not about the death toll. It was about the removal of the allegations specific to Benjamin Netanyahu,” Williams said, in an apparent reference to reports that Netanyahu had received advanced warning that Hamas was planning a deadly attack against Israel.

Raice said she "actually felt really strong" about the decision not to include the reporting, stating that Netanyahu had denied the claims and CBS News had not "independently confirmed those allegations."

"Secondly, I was just in Israel for Sukkot. I have a lot of friends who live there. We're talking about politics the entire time. Everybody was talking about the election. Everybody was talking about Netanyahu and October 7. Nobody was talking about those allegations," Raice added. "And you know why? Because nobody really cares. That is not an issue in the election."

"Those allegations are a sideshow," Raice added. "It's not important, and I just think you got it wrong. And you probably got it wrong because you don't know the story as well as I do. And that's where my experience and my judgment comes in."

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

Trump just said he's kicking CNN, MSNOW, and Politico out of the White House. I was there the day he ejected CNN's Jim Acosta in 2018... Trump's staff gloated... then I watched a federal judge body slam the WH and order Jim's pass restored. The First Amendment will prevail.
