MAGA-Curious CBS Boss Nixed From 'Future of Journalism' Talk

MAGA-Curious CBS Boss Nixed From ‘Future of Journalism’ Talk
Wiktoria Gucia

A talk on the “future of journalism” by the editor-in-chief of CBS News was canceled as her network is in chaos.

The lecture from Bari Weiss, 41, at the University of California, Los Angeles, was scheduled to take place on Feb. 27. The event was part of a memorial lecture series honoring journalist Daniel Pearl, whose death at the hands of militants in Karachi made him a symbol of press freedom.

The cancellation notice was posted on a UCLA website and detailed that current ticket holders for the event would receive a full reimbursement.

Of its future has to include lots of sucking-up and whining about immigration and quotas, and to me, at least, likely has almost nothing to do with "journalism."
