Interview with a Vampire
Bari Weiss' 60 Minutes platformed a genocidal war criminal. It didn't work out quite as well as she thought it would.
That journalist flunky, Bari Weiss, chose to have a war criminal like Benjamin Netanyahu interviewed on 60 Minutes should not be surprising. Weiss did her part whitewashing Israel’s genocide and war crimes from her failed platform ‘The Free Press.’
Her appointment as Editor-in-Chief for CBS News by rabid billionaire Zionist, Larry Ellison, was no accident. She was selected to present hasbara talking points to an American public that has become increasingly critical of Israel and the US foreign policies that support and fund its copious crimes.
The problem is that CBS already had an aging demographic which leaned to the more centrist and conservative side. But before she took the helm, the news outlet had years of decent journalistic standards to its credit. Weiss has single-handedly gutted all of them in record time. And the result has been a catastrophic free fall in ratings.
The softball interview wasn’t the blockbuster Weiss and her team thought it would be. Reports suggest the episode drew approximately 4.9 million viewers, a significant drop from the 8.32 million viewer average the program had maintained during the seasons prior to Weiss’ taking control. It seems more Americans, even older ones, aren’t as interested in interviews with war criminals anymore, especially ones which fail to even challenge them in the mildest of ways.
Weiss may want to go back to interviewing has-been creeps like Jerry Seinfeld. She can soak in his 'wisdom' about 'dominant masculinity' and yuk it up again about how visiting Israel as it bombed hospitals and apartment buildings, tortured doctors, murdered children like Hind Rajab and starved an entire population moved them both to tears of joy. Genocide apologia with washed up comics seems to be more her speed.
