"From The Free Press, this is Honestly,' and I'm Bari Weiss, Dillon said as he pretended to host Weiss's Honestly podcast. Dillon then made savage fun of Weiss's politics. We started this podcast nine years ago because a white woman in Minnesota served a chicken quesadilla to a man and was immediately accused of cultural appropriation, Dillon said. That man's name was George Floyd."
"Dillon's bit continued, When J.K. Rowling had the audacity to suggest that penises and and vaginas were different, we did a 72-part series on the fallout from her comments, including interviewing many of her slaves. DILLON: After I was asked to leave The New York Times because I was too much of a rogue and a truth-teller, I started The Free Press because I really wanted to encourage and foster open discussion and debate, between people in New York, Miami, Tel Aviv."
"Dillon has long been a critic of Weiss and the mega-deal she made to sell what he called her glorified blog, The Free Press, to billionaire David Ellison for $150 million in cash and stock. The deal with Ellison also elevated Weiss to editor-in-chief of CBS News, despite the fact she worked at The New York Times as an opinion editor before being fired, but never in the news division."
Podcaster Tim Dillon opened an episode with a drag impersonation of Bari Weiss and a staged interview featuring actor Mario Bosco as ex-Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. Dillon lampooned Weiss's politics and criticized her sale of The Free Press to billionaire David Ellison for $150 million in cash and stock. Dillon highlighted Weiss's elevation to CBS News editor-in-chief despite only having worked in opinion at The New York Times. The impersonation included visual costume choices and a series of satirical lines referencing controversies and Weiss's stated support for free speech, culminating in a joke about the monetary offer.
