4. Every story about CBS seems to miss the point

The point being, these are not "strategic blunders" or "stepping on rakes"...it's carrying out WHAT BARI WEISS WAS HIRED TO DO, i.e., destroy CBS as a credible news source.

The Ellison's don't give a shit about CBS news; rather, they are simply using its destruction as a tool to curry Trump's favor and get rulings that benefit them, i.e., Warner Brothers and other future moves they want to make, all in the correct belief that licking Trump's orange ass will clear the way for them to do whatever the fuck they want to do.

Errors my ass...I have no idea if Weiss actually believes herself to be a genius or whether she knows she is a very well paid tool of destruction for billionaires, but either way she is accomplishing exactly what her owners want.
