This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.
Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT
I want to make this clear. I respect the hell out of Buster Posey. We’ve won World Series, & shared amazing times with the @SFGiants during our tenure as players. And it makes me puke watching him have to be force fed this gay monthly agenda that has somehow weaseled its way into every aspect of society. And we are called bigots or homophobes if we don’t cater & morally accept their own sick sexual behavior.
Not everyone wants to be reminded for a month there are people engaging in sexual acts that don’t align with their own morals, beliefs, & values. Watching what the Giants organization has become is pathetic.
I blame every single player on that team that hasn’t taken up for their teammates publicly for having the stones to wear bible verses on their hats. Nor having Busters back.
Having said that, Busters silence on this issue has allowed a .234 hitter like Drew Gilbert with 3 homers to celebrate rare wins by blowing imaginary loads on his willing, & eager teammates who seem to relish the thought of his load painting their faces.
And allowing Rafael Devers to continue his whiny, & overly emotional lazy ass to disrespect the organization, & himself.
The biggest problem is the college manager with zero balls. He’s soft & players know it. He doesn’t know how to lead nor demand respect, or accountability. There is zero leadership in the clubhouse which is overrun by a bunch of spoiled talentless pussies who posses zero pride, nor respect for the game, the organization, the fans, & even themselves.
They don’t know the first thing about how to win. They lack killer instincts. But they sure do know how to hit like shit while drawing attention to themselves. Kinda like a talent less attention seeking IG chick whose entire account is nothing but insecure & desperate thirst traps for attention.
That’s actually a good idea for all you .200 hitters. Once you lose your job soon. Each one of you should open up your own Onlyfans page catering to gay men. I believe that’s where you losers will find your true calling! Especially since it’s obvious you like blowing loads on each other more than winning @MLB games.
@peaceinthefield@tarapalmeri She does have a right to privacy. But that call rings hollow when you share information with a journalist first and then ask for said privacy after. Public officials are adults. She can feel regret for speaking publicly, but that’s not the fault of the journalist.
@samhuppert My all-time favorite is the old Dateline theme! My mom and dad’s newsmagazine of choice during the ‘90s. I remember the closing credits vividly 🥰 https://t.co/skF1K3uZZ0
From last night’s Breaker: CBS CEO George Cheeks had advised Bari Weiss against blowing up the respected, profitable, and highly rated “60 Minutes”. But Weiss ignored Cheeks’ guidance. A spokesperson for Cheeks declined to comment — https://t.co/iI5GD9c50l
New statement from Scott Pelley:
There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.
The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.
“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.
The waste is heartbreaking.
Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.
I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

"We should be clear: Bari Weiss is murdering 60 Minutes. She is doing so not out of incompetence or foolishness, but with malice aforethought. She is doing it at the behest of her corporate patron."

Scott Pelley is the face of the highest-rated newsmagazine on TV, and every “60 Minutes” staffer in the room reportedly gave him a standing ovation after this exchange.
The idea that Bari Weiss can blithely fire him without also committing institutional arson is naive.
Pelley did this because he has integrity— but also because he has power.
@ChrisCillizza The truth hurts, unfortunately. Amateurs demanding respect from the people who know what they’re doing is hardly a winning strategy. Bari is in over her head.
