This is Naked Capitalism fundraising week. 1085 donors have already invested in our efforts to combat corruption and predatory conduct, particularly in the financial realm. Please join us and participate via our <\/i>donation page<\/i><\/a>, which shows how to give via check, credit card, debit card, PayPal, Clover, or Wise. Read about <\/i>why we\u2019re doing this fundraiser<\/i><\/a>, <\/i>what we\u2019ve accomplished in the last year<\/i><\/a>, and our current goal, <\/i>bonuses for our esteemed writers.<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n Bari Weiss is taking over as editor-in-chief CBS News after selling The Free Press to David Ellison\u2019s Paramount for a reported $150 million in cash and stock<\/a>. <\/p>\n This is just one piece in the Ellisons\u2019 new media empire which has been assembled rapidly with the backing of his father Oracle CEO Larry Ellison<\/a>. They\u2019ve also taken over a big piece of TikTok<\/a> and are reported to be after Warner Bros. Discovery<\/a> which includes CNN.<\/p>\n Bari Weiss\u2019 role at CBS will be somewhat analogous to that of Biden administration and IDF veteran Erica Mindel\u2019s at TikTok<\/a>:<\/p>\n Mindel previously worked with the U.S. State Department under Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, the Biden Administration\u2019s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, according to Sada Social, a body that monitors and documents digital violations against Palestinian content.<\/p>\n Mindel previously served as an instructor in the Israeli army\u2019s Spokesperson\u2019s Unit\u2026<\/p>\n It stated that in her new role, Mindel \u201cwill be tasked with formulating TikTok\u2019s hate speech policies, shaping relevant legislative and regulatory frameworks, and monitoring trends\u2014particularly those related to antisemitic content.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Ellison Media Empire is Just Part of Israel\u2019s 8th Front<\/strong><\/p>\n The Ellison\u2019s neo-media empire is, in turn, part of an expanded hasbara campaign by Israel<\/a> and its allies that seems a bit desperate in the wake of plummeting American support<\/a> among Democrats<\/a>, the young of both parties<\/a>, and even American Jews<\/a>. <\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/XEXdWDE1BH<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Nat Wilson Turner (@natwilsonturner) October 6, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This incredible X.com thread by GenXGirl<\/a> lays out \u201ca timeline of a sophisticated, well-funded and deliberately opaque influence operation conducted by Israel and its allies within the US to target conservatives. Polling data shows Israel has permanently lost the American left and they are losing the American right, particularly young conservatives. Israel\u2019s campaign seeks to recast criticism of a foreign nation\u2019s policy as a form of bigotry, weaponize faith, and co-opt American institutions, all while systematically evading the laws designed to protect the American public from such foreign propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n Weiss\u2019 project at CBS News must be seen as part of this broader effort which Caitlin Johnstone has characterized as an attempt to \u201cPropagandize The World Into Liking Israel Again<\/a>:\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s cute how the Zionists think they\u2019ll be able to manipulate and propagandize the world into liking Israel again.<\/p>\n Yeah, saturate all online platforms with weird-faced influencers telling us Israel is awesome. That\u2019ll make us forget those years of genocidal atrocities.<\/p>\n Sure, buy up the social media platforms that young people are using so you can censor criticism of Israel. That\u2019ll convince them that Zionism is cool.<\/p>\n Go on, take control of CBS and make Bari Weiss the boss. That\u2019ll make us forget all those videos of mutilated Palestinian children. The Building of Bari Weiss\u2019 Anti-Establisment Billionaire-Friendly Brand<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve quoted this paragraph from Yasha Levine<\/a> in a previous piece<\/a>, but I must repost it because it introduces her so well. I\u2019ve also added many links to back up his references:<\/p>\n Bari is a real operator and a genius suck up to power. She came from an affluent suburb, her parents own the upscale Weisshouse furniture store. Bari first came to public attention while a student in Columbia, where she led a campaign to cancel teachers critical of Israel and tried to get Joseph Massad, a Palestinian professor, fired<\/a>. She then went on to quickly rise through the ranks of zionist activist journalism \u2014 first starting out at Jewish outlets like Tablet<\/a>, then writing op-eds and reviewing books for the Wall Street Journal<\/a>, where she worked directly under Bret Stephens, the arch-neoconservative now known simply as \u201cbedbug,\u201d and then getting beamed up to the New York Times op-ed department<\/a>. Her Times job was what you\u2019d call a Trump first term DEI hire. She was picked up to generate controversy and serve up conservative opinion to the libs. While at the Times, she constantly got glowing profiles from her liberal colleagues \u2014 and even got dressed for a photoshoot by Vanity Fair<\/a>. People who know Bari say that she has real charisma \u2014 and she\u2019s used that gift to ingratiate herself to power. And she seems to have a special way with billionaires. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t just speak to the 1 percent. She speaks to the one-hundredth of 1 percent. And they\u2019ll listen,\u201d Frank Luntz, the Republican pollster, explained the Bari Method to the New York Times\u2019 Matt Flegenheimer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Weiss\u2019 next brilliant career move was quitting the NY Times in July 2020. Her resignation letter<\/a> was carefully calculated to set up her next moves:<\/p>\n I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home. The reason for this effort was clear: The paper\u2019s failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn\u2019t have a firm grasp of the country it covers.<\/p>\n I was honored to be part of that effort, led by James Bennet. I am proud of my work as a writer and as an editor. Among those I helped bring to our pages: the Venezuelan dissident Wuilly Arteaga; the Iranian chess champion Dorsa Derakhshani; and the Hong Kong Christian democrat Derek Lam. Also: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Masih Alinejad, Zaina Arafat, Elna Baker, Rachael Denhollander, Matti Friedman, Nick Gillespie, Heather Heying, Randall Kennedy, Julius Krein, Monica Lewinsky, Glenn Loury, Jesse Singal, Ali Soufan, Chloe Valdary, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Wesley Yang, and many others.<\/p>\n But the lessons that ought to have followed the election\u2014lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society\u2014have not been learned. \u2026<\/p>\n Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. <\/p>\n My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I\u2019m \u201cwriting about the Jews again.\u201d Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly \u201cinclusive\u201d one, while others post ax emojis next to my name. Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are.<\/p>\n There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I\u2019m no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Bari Weiss: Serial Entrepreneur<\/strong><\/p>\n Bari Weiss next made a series of moves astonishing in their ambition. First she founded the \u201canti-woke\u201d organization F.A.I.R. <\/p>\n This led The New Yorker\u2019s Emma Green to handwring \u201cIs It Possible to Be Both Moderate and Anti-Woke?\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n The organization would be called FAIR: The Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism. The name was an initial act of defiance, implicitly painting the group\u2019s opponents, self-described \u201canti-racists,\u201d as the real racists. The founders\u2019 dream was for the group to replace the A.C.L.U. as America\u2019s new defender of civil liberties\u2014a mission they believed the A.C.L.U. had abandoned. The vision involved a three-pronged approach: legal advocacy, via letters and lawsuits; grassroots advocacy, via a network of volunteers; and education about the issues, spread through projects such as explainer videos and training programs.<\/p>\n Weiss and the other founders recruited an informal board of advisers\u2014a mix of podcasters, journalists, academics, and lawyers. Among them were the media personality Megyn Kelly, the writer Andrew Sullivan, and the anti-critical-race-theory activist Christopher Rufo. In some circles, these people are celebrities: Angel Eduardo, who later joined the staff as the director of messaging and editorial, described one adviser, Daryl Davis, a Black musician known for persuading white nationalists to leave the Ku Klux Klan, as \u201cmy Obi-Wan.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Jezebel reported<\/a> on on F.A.I.R. donor, Harlan Crow who ponied up $500,000:<\/p>\n Crow, who collects Nazi artifacts and has a garden filled with statues of dictators, made his half a million dollar donation in 2021, while several other donors gave $1 million each. FAIR developed its own corporate diversity-training program and a free ethnic-studies curriculum for schools, but it sounds like the organization faced a mutiny from staff and volunteers who wanted it to be more explicit than it was about concepts like critical race theory and to speak forcefully against \u201cgender ideology\u201d\u2014aka acceptance of transgender and nonbinary people.<\/p>\n Suzy Edelman, one of the million-dollar-donors, wrote in a 2022 email to FAIR staff: \u201cSex-based rights matter. Single sex spaces for women and girls must be protected. Transgenderism is a fiction designed to destroy.\u201d Weiss was apparently concerned that Edelman was airing her grievances to other donors. \u201cI am quite nervous that she has gotten to the Crows, which would be really damaging to me personally,\u201d Weiss wrote to a FAIR cofounder in August 2022, referring to Harlan Crow. Weiss told the New Yorker reporter: \u201cI leaned on many of my personal relationships and friendships to help launch this nonprofit. I was sick over the idea that their time, trust, and money wasn\u2019t being properly protected.\u201d Hmm!<\/p>\n Bari Weiss tries to paint herself as an independent, centrist journalist, but it is not centrist to start an anti-woke nonprofit, let alone one funded by a GOP megadonor\u2014a man whose relationship is so valuable to you that you\u2019re concerned it could be damaged via some emails.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Bari Weiss also found time to found the University of Austin which Inside Higher Ed covered in 2024<\/a>:<\/p>\n The university, sometimes referred to as UATX, markets itself as an institution born out of alarm over the \u201crising tide of illiberalism and censoriousness prevalent in America\u2019s universities\u201d and says it is committed to \u201cthe pursuit of truth.\u201d On convocation day, students met with Governor Greg Abbott at the Texas state capitol.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Brian Hansbury listed<\/a> some of the funders Bari Weiss convinced to chip in:<\/p>\n University of Austin received $200 million in seed money from the following billionaires:<\/p>\n Bari Weiss, Matt Taibbi and The Twitter Files<\/strong> One screengrab of a headline is worth a thousand words:<\/p>\n https:\/\/t.co\/8pMqSCKse1<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/kcXN7H28ev<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Nat Wilson Turner (@natwilsonturner) October 6, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Insider piece<\/a> is worth quoting from as well:<\/p>\n Bari Weiss focused her Twitter Files thread on \u201cshadowbanning\u201d \u2014 a practice where some content is quietly suppressed. She discussed screenshots of how Twitter employees making \u201cblacklists\u201d and limiting certain trending topics and accounts.<\/p>\n Some saw a smoking gun, proof of longstanding claims by conservatives of censorship. Others argued that what Weiss described was simply what all content moderation looks like.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And unlike her colleague in that effort, Matt Taibbi<\/a>, Bari Weiss has managed to stay on good terms with the mercurial Elon Musk. <\/p>\n UPDATE:<\/strong> I should say that unlike many critics, I believe the work that Taibbi, Weiss, and their colleagues did on the Twitter Files was of immense value. <\/p>\n The exposure of the pressure to censor user voices from Senator Mark Warner<\/a> and then Congressional Rep. Adam Schiff in particular<\/a> were valuable and exposed a post-RussiaGate ethos of information suppression on the part of \u201cthe Resistance\u201d that arguably peaked with the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story<\/a> on the eve of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n But Taibbi has gone beyond reporting when it comes to Bari Weiss. Lately, Taibbi has been singing her praises<\/a> (and their friendship is likely why he is not opposing the Zionist genocide in Gaza<\/a>):<\/p>\n I\u2019ve had differences with Bari Weiss. I\u2019ve disagreed with her politics more than once and mistook her arrival on the Twitter Files project as a sign that I would be squeezed out. I also wasn\u2019t sure about the decision to pick the start of work on the Twitter Files as the moment to launch The Free Press. As a reporter with zero business sense I couldn\u2019t imagine taking on something else at that harried moment. But this is who Bari is. She combines an innate sense of audience with rare entreprenurial energy. Additionally she understood, in a way her spineless now-complaining former colleagues from the mainstream press world never did, that in order to survive and retain her audience, she would need to take risks and bet on herself.<\/p>\n For instance, when 1,000 of her New York Times peers signed a Khmer Rougian denunciation of former Editorial Page Editor James Bennet in 2020, securing his resignation for running an editorial by Senator Tom Cotton calling for National Guard against anti-police protesters, Weiss balked. She went public, explaining the business was plagued by a schism between believers in \u201csafetyism\u201d and civil libertarianism, then soon after resigned from a plum job in the Times opinion section.<\/p>\n Two years after that she launched TheFP. While lunatic former Times workers were looking around the office to see whose career they could destroy next (star health writer Donald McNeil was a subsequent project), Bari pushed Elon Musk in ways I could not and got him to physically show us what a Twitter \u201cP2\u201d viewer looked like \u2014 this was a display screen that showed Trust and Safety executives the history of Twitter user accounts in visual shorthand. That single moment led to pictures of Stanford professor Jay Bhattacharya\u2019s \u201ctrends blacklist\u201d notation, an image which exploded myths about shadow-banning and had far-reaching implications, leading to a Supreme Court case and an incredible future change in NIH leadership.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Bari Weiss and Her $150 Million Media Property<\/strong><\/p>\n The crown jewel of Bari Weiss new empire was The Free Press. The New York Times described it thus<\/a> in 2024:<\/p>\n Bari Weiss has long been blessed with two superpowers, those close to her say: She knows how to make useful enemies, and she knows how to make useful friends.<\/p>\n As the founder, public face and heat-seeking curator of The Free Press, a new media company with ambitions to overtake the old media, Ms. Weiss, 40, has identified a m\u00e9lange of reliable foils: the illiberal left; diversity, equity and inclusion programs; opponents of Israel; The New York Times, where Ms. Weiss worked until 2020. She has headlined a public discussion of antisemitism in a cozy environment (\u201cSheryl Sandberg, welcome to my living room,\u201d one June podcast began) and a private one last year for Hollywood dignitaries like Disney\u2019s Robert Iger at the Bel Air home of Dan Loeb, the hedge fund titan.<\/p>\n And she held court last summer at the kingly Hamptons estate of Bobby Kotick, the former chief executive of Activision Blizzard, where a smattering of billionaires and moguls listened to Ms. Weiss talk up Vivek Ramaswamy, the former Republican presidential candidate, and question President Biden\u2019s mental capacity, according to people familiar with her visit.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Free Press has certainly enjoyed success, acquiring over 1 million subscribers by December, 2024<\/a>. <\/p>\n Matt Johnson took a stab<\/a> at explaining the appeal of The Free Press:<\/p>\n One reason for The Free Press\u2019 popularity is that it offers intellectual reassurance to legions of anti-anti-Trump readers\u2014sophisticated conservatives who may be uneasy about Trumpism, yet want to believe that wokeness and other left-wing excesses are the primary threats to Western civilization. Trump\u2019s trade war and the ensuing market meltdown might give them some pause, but they\u2019re desperate for intellectual ammunition to convince themselves and others that the administration\u2019s crusade against \u201cwokeness\u201d\u2014and associated initiatives like DEI\u2014was necessary even if it meant trampling our democratic institutions.<\/p>\n Ideologically sympathetic outlets like The Free Press convince a wider swath of Americans that the Trump administration\u2019s culture-war agenda is justified. Precisely because it pretends to be governed by journalistic values like objectivity and fairness, The Free Press helps sustain the society-wide hysteria over wokeness while downplaying the country\u2019s descent into authoritarianism. In her email announcing the Paramount acquisition today<\/a>, Bari Weiss wrote of her plans for CBS News:<\/p>\n What does this mean for CBS News? It means a redoubled commitment to great journalism. It means building on a storied legacy\u2014and bringing that historic newsroom into 2025 and beyond. Most of all, it means working tirelessly to make sure CBS News is the most trusted news organization in the world.<\/p>\n We would not be doing this if we did not believe in David Ellison, and the entire leadership team who took over Paramount this summer. They are doubling down because they believe in news. Because they have courage. Because they love this country. And because they understand, as we do, that America cannot thrive without common facts, common truths, and a common reality.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Wall Street Journal celebrated<\/a> The Free Press effectiveness at a vehicle for Israel\u2019s hasbara in November, 2023:<\/p>\n the Israel-Hamas war has been the breakout moment for Free Press, which is appealing to readers hungry for an alternative to what they view as an unfair characterization of Israel in mainstream media. Among its recent stories are \u201cWhy My Generation Hates Jews,\u201d a piece about polling that showed many young people siding with Hamas in the conflict; a story about a wealthy couple who are providing financial backing for pro-Palestinian rallies; and a piece about people tearing down posters of kidnapped Israeli children. In one article, Weiss took the New York Times to task for a headline that said Israel had bombed a Gaza hospital, information it attributed to Palestinian authorities. The Times later updated its reporting after Israel denied responsibility, as did The Wall Street Journal, and both outlets eventually said evidence pointed to a Palestinian group being responsible. The Times published an Editor\u2019s Note saying that its initial coverage relied too heavily on claims by Hamas. In her first column after the attack, Weiss wrote: \u201cYou are about to withstand a barrage of lies about the war that broke out today in Israel.\u201d She has penned columns about \u201cJew hate\u201d on college campuses and examined the views of Gazans who don\u2019t support Hamas. Weiss interviewed an Israeli mother whose two young sons had been taken by Hamas as hostages. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Surely I don\u2019t need to point out that Israel did indeed bomb that hospital<\/a> and that they have continued to bomb it<\/a>, and virtually every other hospital in Gaza<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bari Weiss and the Murdered Martyr<\/strong><\/p>\n I want to wrap this up by focusing on one incident in the career of Bari Weiss: her role in the death of Palestinian poet Dr. Refaat Alareer.<\/p>\n Current Affairs<\/a> summarized the situation:<\/p>\n Alareer was one of the most important literary voices of Palestine\u2014a poet, essayist, and professor of English literature whose work has changed the lives of countless people, both in Gaza and far beyond. His life was brutally cut short by an Israeli airstrike, which Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor describes as \u201csurgical\u201d and \u201capparently deliberate,\u201d targeting his sister\u2019s apartment \u201cout of the entire building where it\u2019s located.\u201d It was the second time Alareer had been the target of Israeli bombs, after he and his family survived a strike on their own home in late October 2023, and it came after weeks of death threats from Israeli soldiers and their supporters over his online activism\u2014threats spurred on by Free Press editor Bari Weiss, who painted a target on Alareer\u2019s back on social media. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n But I\u2019ll let Dr. Alareer\u2019s tweet exchange with Bari Weiss speak for itself:<\/p>\n If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss @bariweiss<\/a> and her likes. <\/p>\n Many maniacal Israeli soldiers already bombing Gaza take these lies and smears seriously and they act upon them. https:\/\/t.co\/ILUJuB6oVQ<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/vp2iQwi1vW<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Refaat in Gaza \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8 (@itranslate123) October 31, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Spanish poet Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca was not able to name the fascists who murdered him<\/a>, but Refaat Alareer was. <\/p>\n Lorca\u2019s death is shrouded in mystery, something he predicted in his poem \u201cThe Fable And Round of the Three Friends\u201d (translated from the Spanish via Lithub<\/a>:<\/p>\n Then I realized I had been murdered.\n

Propaganda is an effective tool of mass-scale psychological manipulation, but it isn\u2019t magic. It isn\u2019t going to miraculously erase what people know in their bones to be true.
\u2026
It won\u2019t work, though. Even if propaganda could convince us that we haven\u2019t seen what we\u2019ve seen and don\u2019t know what we know, propaganda only works if you don\u2019t know it\u2019s happening to you. These past two years have made even relatively apolitical members of the public acutely aware that there is an aggressive campaign to manipulate their perception of the state of Israel, and that anyone pushing them to support that state is untrustworthy. Nobody\u2019s going to buy into the propaganda if they don\u2019t trust the source.
\u2026
The world\u2019s eyes are open to what Israel is, and they are never going to close again. You can\u2019t take off the Mickey Mouse mask, show the kids the snarling Freddy Krueger face underneath it, and then put the mask on and hope they start calling you Mickey again. Nobody\u2019s going to forget what you showed them.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Before we get to the crown jewel in the Bari Weiss empire, I want to briefly cover her role in \u201cThe Twitter Files.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u2026
She has shared Shabbat dinner with David Mamet, the culture-warring playwright who moonlights as a Free Press cartoonist, and dazzled executives at the Sun Valley Conference, walking sheepishly past cordoned-off journalists she met in a previous life.
\u2026
She has asked \u201cboobs or butts?\u201d of Kim Kardashian in a buddy-buddy interview and compelled Jerry Seinfeld to schlep to watch someone else talk into a microphone \u2014 and, for his choice, face chants of \u201cgenocide supporter!\u201d as he left Ms. Weiss\u2019s speech about \u201cThe State of World Jewry\u201d in Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n

If there was a Free Press pitchbot, it could hardly come up with a better headline than the one affixed to columnist Batya Ungar-Sargon\u2019s article last week: \u201cI Used to Hate Trump. Now I\u2019m a MAGA Lefty.\u201d The headline gives the impression to an unfamiliar reader that Ungar-Sargon\u2019s conversion is something new, when she has been a dependable Trump cheerleader for years. Most recently, she\u2019s been claiming that Trump\u2019s tariffs will reverse not just America\u2019s manufacturing but also, preposterously, its masculinity crisis. In her MAGA conversion piece, she describes Trump as \u201csocially moderate, anti-interventionist, and committed to America\u2019s blue-collar workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Weiss said Free Press\u2019s coverage is resonating with people who feel the mainstream media is creating \u201cmoral confusion,\u201d for example by using terms like insurgents to describe Hamas, instead of labeling it a terrorist group. <\/p>\n
\u2026
Early on Oct. 7, after Weiss and her wife, Nellie Bowles, had returned home from a Shabbat dinner, Weiss\u2019s phone blew up with messages about Hamas\u2019s attack on Israel. Weiss immediately began commissioning stories, and the next day a number of employees converged around her kitchen table in Los Angeles to drum up ideas.<\/p>\n\n
