   Well, the Bari Weiss era at CBS News has begun.   
      
   Officially, of course, it began when she arrived and was installed as the   
   reigning Queen of the News division of the Tiffany Network, but coronation   
   ceremonies are one thing, and the beginning of the reign is another in the   
   real world.   
      
   Whiners are already leaking that Bari was late for her first staff meeting   
   and that she dropped an F-bomb. I assume that I am supposed to be shocked   
   at her disrespect for the talent, but I will contain my outrage for the   
   moment.   
      
   But the most important signal that Bari is in charge of policy is that she   
   is making personnel changes, and important ones at that. While the   
   ordinary viewer may fixate on who sits in the anchor seats, what matters   
   most  is who controls what goes on the air and comes out of their mouths.

   HUGE POSITIVE STEP FORWARD FOR CBS NEWS:   
      
   "The head of CBS News’ standards and practices unit — who presided over   
   some of the network’s recent controversial, woke reporting — is out as new   
   boss Bari Weiss looks to bring more balance to the left-leaning network."

   Boom! One of the key people who set the rules for what could and could not   
   be said at CBS News is GONE. Standards & Practices boss Claudia Milne left   
   the building yesterday, and I say "good riddance."   
      
   The head of CBS News’ standards and practices unit — who presided over   
   some of the network’s recent controversial, woke reporting — is out as new   
   boss Bari Weiss looks to bring more balance to the left-leaning network.   
      
   Claudia Milne, who ran the division responsible for the moral, ethical and   
   legal implications of CBS programming, is the first senior executive to   
   leave the network since Weiss arrived as editor in chief earlier this   
   month.   
      
   Although Milne’s job had been “slowly phased out,” a CBS source called her   
   departure “significant.”   
      
   “She was part of the woke mob at CBS News. It shows an editorial shift in   
   how CBS will operate,” the person said, speculating that “this is Bari’s   
   first scalp.”   
      
   I don't know if "scalp" is the right word, but I do know that Milne would   
   probably prevent it from being uttered on air out of concerns that it   
   might offend two-spirit indigenous people.   
      
   Milne, who oversaw her unit since 2021, played a pivotal role in a host of   
   eyebrow-raising decisions. Those ranged from coverage of the transgender   
   Nashville, Tenn., shooter and spiking an Elon Musk interview to the   
   network’s recent reporting on the Israel-Hamas conflict, among other   
   issues.   
      
   As previously reported by The Post, in 2023, Milne and then-news division   
   president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews banned staffers from using the word   
   “transgender” when reporting on the Nashville shooter.   
      
   The decision sparked outrage at the network because police working the   
   case had identified the killer, Audrey Hale, as a transgender woman.   
   Sources said Ciprian-Matthews and Milne spent 15 minutes telling staffers   
   not to report Hale’s identity because it may not be relevant to the   
   shooter’s motive.   
      
   You can see why she had to go. Failure to report Audrey Hale's status as a   
   transgender person stripped the story of its most important fact: the   
   motive of the killer. She went on that rampage BECAUSE she was   
   transgender; it was not an incidental and hence unimportant tidbit.   
      
   Milne was also one of the executives who blocked former CBS News   
   correspondent Catherine Herridge from interviewing Musk in 2023, The Post   
   has learned. Herridge declined to comment.   
      
   Herridge said on X that she’d had the rare opportunity to interview Musk   
   after his high-profile purchase of the social media platform. He was in   
   the news in late 2022 for his release of the “Twitter Files” to a handful   
   of tech and media journalists.   
      
   But the interview opportunity landed with a thud, Herridge recounted on X,   
   because Musk wanted to do it live. CBS execs said they would rather pass   
   on the session than hold it live because they were worried about what Musk   
   was going to say, according to the former investigative reporter.   
      
   “I’m thinking, ‘Isn’t that the point of journalism?’ You don’t know what   
   the person’s going to say,” an exasperated Herridge said.   
      
   Herridge, you may recall, was unceremoniously booted from CBS and had her   
   confidential notes withheld from her--an egregious example of how corrupt   
   CBS had become. She eventually was able to recover them, but God knows if   
   they were scraped for confidential information.   
      
   CBS became a cesspool of woke and a propaganda outlet for the left. Let's   
   hope Bari can save it.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
