Dear Jessica Testa @nytimes: Make that CBS's tarnished crown jewel. Best, Retiring Guy

 
Headline:  New York Times, 10/6/2025

Jessica Testa reports on the hypocrisy of Bari Weiss:
Her first newsletter was called Common Sense, a nod to Thomas Paine, the revolutionary scribe of the working class. In writing of “ordinary Americans,” Ms. Weiss positioned herself as a voice for millions “who feel that the world has gone mad.”  
Yet as a public figure, it appeared her newest allies were mostly billionaires. The venture capitalists David Sacks and Marc Andreessen and Howard Schultz, the former chief executive of Starbucks, invested in her company. She attended the Venice wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos. Kim Kardashian and Peter Thiel appeared on her podcast. Mr. Thiel, a tech entrepreneur, explained on “Honestly” how Tesla’s leader, Elon Musk, provided “a great deal of cover” to other executives to publicly support President Trump.  [emphasis added]
