Watching Bari Weiss Murder Investigative Journalism at CBS Highlight

Can we have a grown-up conversation about this? One that doesn't involve pretending that CBS was an unfailing bastion of integrity until the vandal Weiss wrecked it all? Carl Bernstein revealed in 1977 that William Paley, the legendary midcentury CBS president, "enjoyed an easy working and social relationship" with CIA Director Allen Dulles, to the point where CBS was "unquestionably the CIA's most valuable broadcasting asset." The Paley-Dulles relationship was an example of an establishment coming into alignment. So too it is with Weiss, the Ellisons and Donald Trump. What valuable journalism existed, and will exist, at CBS came, and will come, in spite of such relationships.
