The Pushback Chronicles: Bari Weiss vs. CBS [1] ['Greg Dworkin', 'Matthew Adarichev', 'Sabrina Haake', 'Chloris Creator', 'Bill In Portland Maine'] Date: 2026-06-24 We all know that Bari Weiss was assigned to destroy CBS, in part by firing Steven Colbert, in part by crippling 60 Minutes. These were the network’s two flagship programs, their biggest moneymakers. But that isn’t all of the carnage. The result is that millions of CBS viewers are pushing back by becoming FORMER CBS viewers, by spreading the word, and in other ways. The situation at CBS News is getting even worse. Ratings at the network’s morning show plunged immediately after Bari Weiss fired Scott Pelley and are on track for their lowest June on record.

So Bari Weiss has hired a tabloid 'reporter' for the CBS News investigative unit who has done obsessive coverage on that topic.

I hope that their ad revenue also craters, and that someone will organize boycotts and writing campaigns to their remaining advertisers. See alsoi CBS Advertisers It is just as important to voice your disappointment in the company than to actually boycott their products. Make sure these manufacturers understand that you are considering using other products. The social media editor of Bari Weiss' The Free Press News is spreading climate denial. She attended a Heartland Institute climate denial conference earlier this year looking for funding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=POtD… — BONUS (@thedisproof.bsky.social) 2026-06-22T05:01:14.374Z Variety: Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker, Jon Wertheim to stay at ’60 Minutes’. Newsrooms are not supposed to be run like dictatorships. Collaboration and argument are the way we have always worked at ’60’. Truthout: “CBS Evening News” Has Lost Over a Million Viewers Since Bari Weiss Takeover The plunge in viewership comes as Weiss has ushered in an era of Trump-friendly politics for the network. John Oliver has bashed Bari Weiss much better than I can do in the space of a DK story. Definitely worth watching. I’m re-watching John Oliver’s epic takedown of Bari Weiss. We need more takedowns like this. A lot more. youtube.com/watch?v=gieT… — Tom Joscelyn (@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social) 2026-06-22T00:27:04.408Z Shoutout to Stephen Colbert and David Letterman for tan suit homage.
