Bobby Jindal! The boy wonder (derogatory) we used to call him in Louisiana!

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

One of the ironies here is that the group was created by Bobby Jindal, who addressed the concerns of otherness that El-Sayed faces by...abandoning his Hindu faith to become Catholic.

Yeah fuck Matt Murray who fired every staff photographer and videographer at The Post

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social

Very, very good to see Washpost Executive Editor Matt Murray, whose photographer was beaten by violent Israelis, push back on Bibi’s bullshit

This man is so dumb

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

If there’s one thing I learned as a newsroom manager, it’s never get angry in a staff meeting. Everyone talks. CBS News should hire managers who know basic shit like this.

Scoop: I obtained audio of an explosive meeting in which Bari Weiss' handpicked foreign editor unleashed in a tirade against her journalists, in which she defended her decisions and warned that "insubordination" is "legal grounds for firing." Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

"Is you sending texts on a criminal fucking conspiracy?"

“She warned Deters repeatedly not to commit talk of money or payments to text. ‘Eric, I really wish you would stop papering all these things,’ she wrote in one exchange.”

BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

This assumes Jeff Bezos cares what happens to The Post. He does not. He cares what happens to Blue Origin and Amazon.

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

Lolol

Final ratings are in for the 60 Minutes premiere. According to Nielsen, it drew 7.9 million total viewers and 1.6 million in the 25-54 demo, down 21% and 33%, respectively, compared to last year. This is the first time this century it's premiered with fewer than 9 million viewers.

Keep this in mind whenever CBS News/60 Minutes get scoops. This administration now sees CBS as a friendly outlet, but with a more mainstream audience than Fox, so they're now in line for these exclusives, even if Hegseth has to cajole and browbeat his own pilots to get them to cooperate. 1/

Today, August 31, is the official final day on the job for Adam O’Neal, the man Bezos brought in to wreck the Washpost Opinion section. To commemorate this date, here are some recent comments from people who subscribed to O’Neal’s signature disaster, the Make It Make Sense podcast.

The renaming of this lake is so dumb and petty and should not be the focus of the news right now but … I cannot overstate enough just how sad and pathetic this update is for Google

Good for @karenattiah.bsky.social. Time for Weasel Wayne to go too.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Breaking News: An arbitrator ordered The Washington Post to rehire Karen Attiah, a columnist who was fired over her social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

So you're telling me the school named after the guy who killed G.E. and who's management practices went on to poison companies like Boeing wants to teach me AI leadership?

hi, actual family member here, just wanted to say real quick: get fucked

CNN@cnn.com

Twenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc

This team is atrocious

Andy Kostka@afkostka.bsky.social

A cacophony of issues here, and it's 2-1 Rangers. Jake Burger's soft grounder is out of Kyle Bradish's reach, and Gunnar Henderson's barehand isn't clean. Evan Carter, who began on second, saw all this and broke home. Henderson recovered but his throw is off line and an error

I’m sorry, you simply can’t lead your newscast with that Miller tape on the birthright citizenship “order” without pointing out that that’s not the damn way it works. It’s just not journalism.

Micah Gelman reposted

And the bottom has yet to fall out for Bari Weiss at CBS Mornings. Two weeks after posting its lowest-rated week ever, CBS Mornings set another record. According to Nielsen, the program averaged just 1.568 million viewers and 213,000 in the key 25-54 advertising demo last week -- both new lows.

Very helpful that CBS News is consolidating all the worst people in one place.

Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.
