""We have to start by looking honestly at ourselves. We are not producing a product that enough people want," Weiss told staff, according to the Hollywood Reporter."
"'We can blame demographics or technology or fractured attention spans or 'news avoidance,' but these are all copes,' she added."
"Weiss said she held the story because it needed a comment from DHS or one of the administration's anti-immigration ghouls, like Tom Homan or Stephen Miller, for "balance.""
Bari Weiss pushed an "exclusive" claiming an ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good suffered internal bleeding based on two anonymous sources. She held an all-hands meeting telling staff that mainstream media is not trusted and that the newsroom is not producing a product enough people want. CBS Evening News lost nearly one million viewers and saw a 23 percent drop among ages 25–54 after Tony Dokoupil became anchor. Weiss green-lit stories favorable to the Trump administration and delayed a 60 Minutes segment on the brutal El Salvador prison CECOT while citing a need for DHS comment for "balance." The ICE piece quoted officials but omitted medical experts to contextualize "internal bleeding."
