I do wonder about the timing of the small contingent of TPUSA-related Israel-hating far-right influencers (specifically Megyn Kelly who seems to be their MC these days) going after Bari Weiss and Ben Shapiro at the same time as this leftwing assault on Bari is underway. I guess that Horseshoe is now twisted pretty much all the way in on itself.
Years ago I was at a conference on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and rode the train into Manhattan with some of the "60 Minutes" staffers who were there to do some interviews. The staffers were deeply biased, condescending and sarcastic, similar to the staffers at the NYT that squeezed Weiss out of that newspaper.
The difference is the Weiss is the boss at CBS. It is hard to imagine that the "60 Minutes" staffers I met could ever be brought around to how Weiss wants to practice journalism. People will leave, and it won't necessarily be Weiss.
I believe this statement, in its attempt to credit Weiss' editing skills, gives way too much credit to the paying public and its choices.
"At The Free Press, Weiss managed to generate something of value, in part because what she did was different from the predictable partisanship widely available elsewhere, in part because she has standards of quality and excellence that sometimes involve sending a piece back when it needs more work before publication."
The FNN is incredibly popular for reasons other than journalistic quality. Rather, it provides watchers with confirmation of their own perspective of the world.
"it provides watchers with confirmation of their own perspective of the world."
(The "it" here references "the FNN," but I assume that means the Free Press, which is what the rest of this comment refers to. I have no idea what FNN means.)
If you mean "The Free Press" this statement is odd. I often find myself writing comments criticizing some of the more left-leaning articles at Free Press, even though I treasure the enormous political and cultural range of what it makes available. I believe any quick perusal of the comments sections of the FP's articles will make it clear my reaction is not unusual.

What's “60 Minutes," grandpa?
A well known news magazine show on CBS junior.
