Yes men, by definition, are denizens of government and the corporate world who bow to authority, no questions asked, in order to get ahead. Not surprisingly, as the fight for gender parity in the workplace intensifies, we’re seeing more and more yes women who are as eager as their male counterparts to do the boss’s bidding.

“You must be talking about Trump’s gang,” my scruffy neighbor Swamp Rabbit said as he nursed his first beer of the day. “Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard and so on. Girls who know how to have fun even though they work for a monster. My favorite is that wrestlin’ lady who got AI mixed up with A1, the steak sauce. The Secretary of Education.”

When he stopped laughing, I told him I actually was thinking of CBS News Editor-In-Chief Bari Weiss, who just fired Sharyn Alfonsi, the Emmy Award-winning reporter on “60 Minutes” who exposed the truth behind the Trump gang’s deportation of hundreds of immigrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador. I commented on this in a previous post.

Weiss is a right-winger who is “in” because CBS is owned by Paramount Global, the huge company headed by billionaire David Ellison, who knew that further expansion of Paramount would be blocked unless he sucked up to Donald Trump by hiring someone who would muzzle “60 Minutes.” Alfonsi is “out” because she fought back when Weiss delayed the airing of the deportation story. Bottom line: Ellison is a yes man for Trump and Weiss is Ellison and Trump’s yes woman.

Weiss is making further cuts at “60 Minutes” — staffers despise her — while professing to “widen the aperture of the stories we tell and the voices we listen to.” In practice, this will mean no investigative stories critical of Donald Trump and his authoritarian regime and abandonment of the journalistic standards that made “60 Minutes” the best-rated and most respected news show in American TV history.

Swamp Rabbit flashed a gruesome smile. “Look on the bright side, Odd Man. Trump gets more like Hitler every day. He’s self-destructing.”

“Maybe,” I said. “But that’s not keeping Weiss from destroying CBS News.”
