This town hall sucked BIG TIME. It was a joke. Very unprofessional interview...what was the point of this charade...Bari Weiss should be called on the carpet for this!

CBS should explain why their president of news insisted on hosting the town hall. One would think Bari Weiss has enough to do without also playing television host. For example, she can continue to force the morning show to interview her sister about the meaningless reporting she’s doing. It’s all so vile.
