Writer’s Guild Plays ‘Resistance’ Against Bari Weiss at CBS – Twitchy

There are two undeniable truths when it comes to the modern media: they’re hopelessly dominated by far-leftists and they hate Bari Weiss, a center-left female lesbian Jew because she doesn’t obey the orthodoxy.

So when the Writers Guild, which represents many CBS News employees, writes a letter of ‘resistance’ against their new Editor in Chief, you are disgusted but not surprised.

The Writers Guild, the union which represents some CBS News employees, says it has sent a demand to CBS to get more information about Bari Weiss’s request.

The WGA has asked its members to refrain from responding to Weiss’s email until they gather more information. https://t.co/ehnOV0AjlX pic.twitter.com/VxBEIUp9T0

The ‘Solidarity’ sign-off is just chef’s kiss.

New: In a note to staff this morning, New CBS EIC Bari Weiss asked everyone across CBS News to send her a memo by next Tuesday explaining how they spend their workday and what’s working/not working… pic.twitter.com/aPaAqBf1gu

This is what the union is asking them to go all Che Guevarra over, a request to (checks notes) explain to your new boss what your responsibilities are. If that’s not enough to get you to grab your Kalashnikov rifle and set up camp in the jungle, we don’t know what will.

Honestly, this should not be seen as sinister. This writer has been through many mergers, new bosses and reorganizations. It’s very often not DEFCON 5.

That said, there were still some varied and fun reactions.

Maybe it’s this. But being advised to not comply seems like an unwise option to present. This isn’t DOGE, this is your new boss at a for-profit corporation.  

This is the equivalent of “tell me in your own words what happened”

This is a doubly good idea, both because it’s good on its own and because anyone troubled by it should be the first to go.

Harsh, but fair.

Dear Bari, I spend my days calling people I disagree with Nazis and then covering for people I agree with. Signed CBS news division.

This is why a housecleaning is necessary, regardless of whether this is Weiss’ motivation or not.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!
People have to explain to their boss what they do.
Journalism is dead.
Democracy is dead.
Hitlerian!

Understand this is where we are.

How dare she. Accountability is for losers. https://t.co/xil5sJDXhk

Thanks for the management hint. I’ve managed thousands of people, and I think this is a great way for @bariweiss to assume her role. But she may decide that Max from Semafor is a better manager than she, I, or millions of other people who have actually managed things effectively… https://t.co/LtzyhdUBqx

… are. Her choice.

The “failure framework” for Weiss at CBS – “a Trumpish interloper!” – is deeply preset in the media narrative (which is ridiculous, she is a normie 1990s liberal) and thus casts even the most innocuous acts (“what works/needs fixing?”) as “outrageous” for that reason. https://t.co/9bh5TaVBmM

Very well put.
