It's the media buzz meter with Howard Kurtz.

My column today is on Barry Weiss, now the editor-in-chief of CBS News.

And I share the receipts, you know, bringing the receipts.

And you notice how that became like the tired cliche of this year?

We always did that.

We just called it fact checking, record keeping, review of social media, all those things.

Transcripts, court hearings.

But now you've got to have the receipts.

By the way, Washington Post got rid of all or most of its copy editors, and it shows.

Somebody posted, because you've got to be your own copy editor in this age,

who doesn't know the difference between it's and IT-A-Postrophe S.

I mean, if you're going to get something wrong,

at least it should be a three-syllable word.

And before I go into this, I'm just haunted by the sentence for the would-be Cavanaugh assassin.

It's supposed to be, according to federal sentencing guidelines, 30 years.

And instead, it's eight years by this judge.

He spent like seven hours explaining, defending, and he's so happy that he told

his mother that he was transgender. Look, all of these mass shooters, and he planned to kill

himself in this process, are by definition clinically crazy. That's why I don't care so much

of all. What is the motive? It's just

part of that finger pointing game. I am more mad at this than I am at the New York Yankees for

getting obliterated by Toronto. That's how mad I am. All right. Back to Barry Weiss. We'll make this story one.
