See BS News' Tabloid Turn after Purging Veteran Journalists

With her latest hire, Bari Weiss’ continues her jaw-dropping attack on the credibility of CBS News.

Weiss reportedly told colleagues she wanted to “blow up” the network. She has steered the marquee evening newscast off a ratings cliff, ripped a hole in the heart of the network’s crown jewel, 60 Minutes, and purged a growing number of hardworking journalists from throughout the organization. Now, she’s hired someone for the network’s investigative unit who specializes in tabloid style reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop and other related topics.

I wish I was kidding, but I’m not.

Seriously, what on earth was she thinking when she hired Josh Boswell, tabloid reporter for the conservative Daily Mail who has done hundreds of reports on Hunter Biden? Bari Weiss booted reporting veterans Scott Pelley, Sharyn Alfonsi, and Cecilia Vega, but she just put a guy who does National Enquirer-type coverage on the CBS News investigative team. Yikes.

With rampant inflation I don't think people give a shit about Hunter Biden's laptop. That dead horse must be pulp by now.
