Bari Weiss‘ Islamophobia is not a bug, it’s a feature.
Her bosses Larry and David Ellison know her legacy of Islamophobia. It isn’t a deal-breaker, it’s a perk.
She is mainstreaming Islamophobia at the vestiges of CBS.

Yes, and ultimately she is carrying out the agenda of her bosses Larry and David Ellison.
