Discussion: Bari Weiss Poised to Ruin "60 Minutes"

i was actually referring to the stars. i'm quite sure they'd do just fine.

but as for everyone else on staff - do you think that anyone with "60 minutes" on their resume would have trouble finding a job?

Not to be pointlessly argumentative, but I will take issue with the assumption that landing a job in broadcast television is anything but challenging these days. Broadcast media outlets are not thriving today. 

It may seem like a minor quibble, but it’s part of the reason that someone like Weiss can do what she’s doing. A lot of the staff members have probably worked for years to get where they are. Giving that up for the uncertainty of the job market has to be daunting. Plus heaven only knows what blacklist you’d end up on. 

Just my thoughts.

Discussion: Summer Weather Thread

Monday June 8th

The week starts warm and dry then midsummer happens 

Today, clouds thin out and we should end up with afternoon sun and a high around 80⁰, humidity lingers. Low tonight mid 50⁰s

Tuesday, sunnier, less humid, a bit warmer, high in the low to mid 80⁰s, overnight lows lower 60⁰s

Wednesday, might see a shower in the morning, then chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. High mid 80⁰s, low around 70⁰

The back end of the week is still a bit unclear, but it is likely to include highs around 90⁰, moderate humidity, and possibly afternoon thunderstorms

Also a fan.  Once upon a time I saw her perform at the Public Theater, as Mimi in La Boheme. Enjoyed it immensely.

That album Canciones is marvelous. Sublime. The best mariachi musicians money could buy at the time. There's a very nice Ronstadt documentary out there somewhere. I think I've seen it twice. I admired so much her always wanting to do something different, something more. Mariachi, Gilbert & Sullivan and more. I also saw video once, a long time ago, of her in the recording studio with Ruben Blades showing her Spanish singing techniques. Can't seem to find it now. The two of them recorded and performed his Silencios in the 80s. Marvelous stuff.

Canciones De Mi Padre (pick any song, I can't, I love them all!) - Linda Ronstadt. The second you mentioned her Mr.T, memories of her concert flooded my soul with my deep love for all the music of Mexico.

Mtierney,

Please refocus on the current Trump Administration, the most corrupt in our history. 

Please spare us your crocodile tears for Biden since there is no evidence that you wanted the Democratic Party to run a stronger candidate.

Discussion: NY Knicks (2) vs Spurs (1) NBA Championship 2026 GM 4 Wednesday 6.10.26

Holy crap. At one point in my game, I thought, the Knicks are just overmatched. This will be a short series. Did anybody else feel that way?

Is there a choice between Newsom and Harris? Both lack the same credibility issues , as far as I see. If the DNC really wants to keep CA blue, I think it would be wise for it to look for a winning candidate, not a known loser, such as Harris — or a Governor who appears to be just keeping the seat in the  Governor’s Mansion warm!

Why do I care? My youngest granddaughter lives there!

this comment doesn't even make sense.
