Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) torched CBS News Editor-In-Chief Bari Weiss on Thursday after reports surfaced that she allegedly let Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu select his interviewer for last weekend’s “60 Minutes” segment.
Speaking with reporters outside the Capitol, Ocasio-Cortez called into question Weiss’s journalistic integrity while saying she couldn’t think of any other foreign leader with this level of influence over American media.
“That CBS situation is just a violation, I think, of any journalistic standards,” Ocasio-Cortez told Drop Site News reporter Julian Andreone. “So it doesn’t surprise me that Bari Weiss is letting elected officials, who should be held accountable by journalists and the free media, instead she’s doing things the other way around and letting her friends pick their interviewer.”
