that is how long Bari Weiss and Larry Ellison took to destroy one of the most venerable and respected News organizations in the country. Nearly a century of journalism gone in an instant.
Today, it is a propaganda arm of the Trump Administration.
We can lose things so quickly, and don't expect it to "go back to normal" when TSF is gone.
America has been fundamentally changed and scarred, and recovery will not be the way things use to be.
Meanwhile we have 3 years to watch the dumpster fire that was once our country.

.... Weiss, who has a reputation for being anti-woke, is reportedly developing a new daytime panel show not a reboot of The Talk thats quietly being billed as The Right View. ....
Its personal, an insider told Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, who writes on Substack.

Weiss guest-hosted episodes of The View in 2020 and 2021 but didnt test well with audiences, according to Variety, which reported the audience didnt understand her centrist-right contrarian politics.
She also had low scores with focus groups. ....
