    Hudak’s report identified two posts from 2020 in which El-Sayed drew a comparison between the growing number of deaths from COVID-19 and the nearly 3,000 people killed on September 11.

    El-Sayed argued that the scale of the pandemic warranted a similarly broad national mobilization. In one post, El-Sayed said he hoped the country would devote the following decade to a “war for public health & against poverty,” invoking the government’s response to terrorism after 9/11 and arguing that such an effort could “save lives rather than take them.”

    The article also examined a 2021 post in which El-Sayed expressed sympathy for those killed or injured in the attacks before pointing to the loss of life and destruction that resulted from the military campaigns launched in their aftermath.

    Not just another "right-wing slide".

    Trump bootlicker Bari Weiss turned a nothingburger into a racist, Islamophobic attack -- clearly intended to hurt a Democratic Senate candidate -- with the full weight of once-respected CBS News.

    "CBS News Slammed After Publishing Controversial Headline About Dem Senate Nominee Abdul El-Sayed"

    The headline in question:

    “Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s deleted tweets on Sept. 11 attacks invite scrutiny of past remarks.”

    More from the article:

    The media newsletter Status reported that Weiss specifically directed that the headline call attention to El-Sayed’s deleted references to the September 11 attacks. The 41-year-old El-Sayed was only 16 years old on 9/11.

  9. Bari Weiss’ overhaul of CBS News has been rocky. But her 60 Minutes revamp will be the ultimate test
    By Jeremy Barr

    Ten months into her tenure as editor in chief, Weiss’ biggest – and riskiest – bet is getting closer to taking flight

    theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a

  10. What Bari Weiss is doing to CBS in general and 60 Minutes in particular is an unforgivable attack on the freedom of US television news.

    Less serious, but significant nonetheless, is the harm Weiss has wreaked on attempts by some US liberals to question groupthink in some quarters of academia, the media, and the nonprofit sector.

    By her using the pose of a "radical centrist" questioning "woke orthodoxy" to strengthen right wing power in education and the media, she has made honest and productive debate about conformity and freedom of expression even more difficult than it already was.

    I cannot abide her bad faith posturing!

  11. Let’s face it. CBS is a loss-leader for Larry Ellison to curry regulatory favor from the regime. He’s happy to burn it down, and with it democracy and free speech. Because Larry doesn’t have enough money.

  12. The greatest villain in the CBS/Paramount scandal (aside from Trump,) is Shari Redstone,who sold to Ellison and personally pocketed $2B.

  15. Stephen Colbert's last show will air on May 21, 2026, at 11:35 PM ET on CBS. This marks the end of his 11-year run with The Late Show, and the end of CBS as a viable business.

    Thanks for everything, Shari Redstone!

  17. “To the folks at CBS, in the words of the great Ed Murrow, good night and good luck, motherfuckers.”

  18. So CBS had to make some "hard decisons" and let people go.

    Seems to me the best "hard decision" they could make would be to get rid of disaster artist Bari Weiss!

  19. I guess the Ellisons see CBS as a loss leader. Why not just go ahead and sell the fixtures?

    I’ll bid on Dan Rather’s anchor chair.
