Summary
In the second half of our two-part series on one of In Bed with the Right 's bêtes noires, Adrian and Moira chart the resistible rise of Bari Weiss's from her time on the canceled-person circuit to the pinnacle of American news media. Topics covered: the rise of the Free Press and the decline of the free press; how a certain kind of Silicon Valley creep fell in love with what Bari was selling; how she rode the "vibe shift" among tech elites to maximum profit; and why the Trump-era may well prove her undoing. Some of our sources for this episode: On Bari's reign of terror at CBS: Clare Malone, " Inside Bari Weiss's Hostile Takeover of CBS " Radley Balko's takedown of the Free Press piece about George Floyd: " The Retconning of George Floyd " If you read German, and want to know more about the tech elite's "vibe shift" around 2020, you can check out Adrian's new book !
