The @NewYorker quotes our own @YehudahMirsky in this article on Bari Weiss. Check out his assessment, about a third of the way through. Prof. Mirsky's expertise encompasses Jewish thought, Israel and Zionism, the study of religion, political thought, and more.
Bari Weiss had no formal television-news experience when she was appointed editor-in-chief of CBS News. Donald Trump called the network’s new direction “the greatest thing that’s happened in a long time to a free and open and good press.”
