Fire Bari Weiss [View all]

Jennifer Schulze

Bari Weiss must be fired. Today.

News requires credibility. News requires balance. News requires judgment. Leading a major news organization requires all of this, managerial talent, and organizational leadership. Eight months into her tenure, she has shredded the organization’s credibility, put her thumb on the scale to mock the very idea of balance, undermined those with better judgment, destroyed morale among the workforce, and her leadership skills are the kind where no one would follow her out of a burning building.

Who do you believe? Credible journalists or Weiss?

In recent weeks, three prominent and extremely credible journalists accused Weiss of tampering with the content of multiple news stories at 60 Minutes, the nation’s most watched news program. The most recent example comes from recently fired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley who told the New York Times that Weiss pressured him to lie about the Renee Good killing in Minneapolis.
