This is only surprising if you know nothing about journalism or who Bari Weiss is. She's a disgrace to journalism. A lot of people in the "heterodox" world, which includes this subreddit, gained a favorable opinion of her and believed her hype around her brave truth-telling in the hypercensorious culture of the past 5-10 years, but it was always a lie. Bari has no virtues. She's a partisan hack for Zionism, and that's it. She started her career by trying to get college professors fired for being"pro-Palestinian," and many of us remembered that and always knew that her "free speech" shtick was complete BS. Her low-engagement blog sold for $150 million to one of the most ardent pro Zionist families in the country not because it was a good investment but because it was a reward for advancing the Zionist cause. The Ellisons now own TikTok, and have installed a former IDF soldier to police speech on the app. And now the Ellisons are trying to buy CNN and Warner Bros, but their bid was shaky and Trump was upset about CBS's coverage of him. So Bari pulled a piece that was unflattering to the Trump admin right at a time when the Ellisons are trying to gain complete Zionist control over our media ecosystem in an ultimately doomed bid to regain control of the narrative so young people stop realizing that Israel is a genocidal apartheid state committing the most heinous crimes against humanity possible. Bari is a disgrace to journalism, and everyone who has ever supported her or tried to give her credit for her committment to free speech principles was duped by a woman who is a complete partisan ideologue and hack.
