I haven’t heard about Bari Weiss untill this 60 mins thing. I went and took a look at The Free Press site she is in charge of and I’m seeing lots of articles that are critical of the current administration.
Where is does this angle that’s she is super pro-trump come from?
She built her career on being a “free speech person” opposed to callout culture etc but recent remarks show a more political bent where she wants to “redefine what is acceptable main stream speech”.
She’s not pro trump as much as she’s anti left so in many ways she’s just aligned ideologically with the fascist right and thinks they’ve been restricting the correct speech.
I’m not so nuanced about traitors. If she’s not actively opposing this government, then she’s MAGA trash. She doesn’t get to escape blame through careful parsing of her positions.
The very fact that Larry Ellison put her in charge of converting CBS News to an outlet of the Conservative Propaganda Machine convicts her as a MAGA.

You mean like how JD Vance was critical of Trump, to the point of calling him an idiot, unfit for office, reprehensible, and like Hitler?
Turns out, people just say things and then perform actions that say otherwise.
Judge people on their actions, not their words.

She’s not pro-trump, exactly, she’s anti-palesinian, Zionist, and anti-woke.
She’s like a less crass version of Bill Maher.

She’s an open shill for AIPAC and Israel
John Oliver did an episode on her recently. That’s probably online somewhere.
