The future of the Republican Party, everybody.
The high-profile exit left people inside and outside the network eager to understand the backstory. So what happened? Multiple people familiar with the matter told Status that MacFarlane had grown disillusioned with the overall direction of the network under the anti-woke warrior Weiss, who since being appointed by David Ellison in October has sought to put the venerable news outlet on better footing with Donald Trump and his administration. Specifically, MacFarlane was appalled and disheartened by the way the βCBS Evening Newsβ marked the five-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection. At CBS News, MacFarlane had spent years aggressively covering the attack on the U.S. Capitol. In fact, as recently as Monday morning, as he prepared to make his career announcement, he posted a video on YouTube calling out MAGA forces trying to βrewrite the historyβ of that day by disseminating βlies.β So when MacFarlane saw anchor Tony Dokoupil mark the anniversary with only a 16-second report that embraced a both sides approach to the act of violence carried out by Trump supporters on that day, he was aghast. Itβs not clear whether MacFarlane made his disapproval known to Dokoupil or network leadership, but he did communicate it to some colleagues, and it became known inside the network.
You can devastate a news organization The Jeff Bezos Way, by slashing the budget in half and forcing massive layoffs.
Or you can do it The Bari Weiss Way, by steadily eroding your journalism standards, week after week, so the talented people who can leave, do leave.

Super fun read for your Sunday!
We asked the question: How did S.F. homes get so colorful?
The answer was a journey, involving battleship paint, psychedelics and a rainbow home a block from the Painted Ladies. (Which were once zoned for demolition! π€―)

Happy 40th to one of my favorite films ever made. Literally a lifelong fan.
REUTER Trump attends dignified transfer of Americans killed in Iran war wearing his hat
Dignified. Which is why heβs dressed for a rally.
Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space
I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.
Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.
Oh, I read something about this. Is it because you guys were dumb enough to elect a syphilitic pedophile whose conscience would make a Great White shark embarrassed as President.
Twice?
The Peace President.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.β (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
The new #PeakyBlinders movie is in select theaters tomorrow. Check out my review at @sfchronicle.com:
It seems like many brands are just relying on wealthy shoppers. For now, it's working, but that can't last.
He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not βan affairβ. RESIGN NOW.

Trump yelling at Hegseth in the Oval yesterday
βNOW GET ME THAT FUCKING PEACE PRIZE!β
Imagine any other advisor to any other president saying this about any other group.
Ellison Jr always looks like heβs in a slo-mo receiving end of a punch shot in a Guy Ritchie movie
Currently trending on X.

Wolverine and Cable.
Seriously, the guy says βnever been seen beforeβ so many times itβs like before him people were just sitting around waiting for something to happen
Trump will keep bombing countries until he is finally given the Nobel Peace Prize!
