The pearl clutching about “cancel culture” and “censorship” has become louder and more absurd while also getting more and more play in the media. Journalists Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi see this panic for what it is though: a grift. They take a closer look at these temper tantrums, dispelling myths, laughing at the most outrageous takes, and shedding light on which perspectives are actually being suppressed and left out of the conversation.

    CBS News Has a Bari Weiss Problem. Scott Pelley Was the Latest Casualty.
    Jun 18 2026
    Renowned “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley is the latest casualty at CBS News under the leadership of reactionary editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. At a staff meeting the day before his ouster, Pelley accused Weiss of having “no qualifications” for the role and “murdering ‘60 minutes’” in the process.But Scott Pelley represents much more than another journalist out of a job. His firing is the inevitable outcome of a centrist media class that panders to both-sides journalism while claiming false objectivity.Continuing with business as usual is no match for media consolidation—the Paramount-Skydance merger that put billionaire nepo baby David Ellison in charge of CBS News—and censorship under Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr.This week, Katelyn and Christine draw on their political reporter creds to construct and analyze the timeline, from Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News to the network’s billionaire buyer to Bari Weiss. What really led to Scott Pelley’s firing? And what comes next?Cancel Me, Daddy is a progressive media criticism show hosted by journalists Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi.

  • Bari Weiss vs. Anderson Cooper: Both Are Overseers. Here's Why. (ft. Steven Thrasher)

    Bari Weiss vs. Anderson Cooper: Both Are Overseers. Here's Why. (ft. Steven Thrasher)
    Jun 4 2026

    Anderson Cooper recently left CBS News' "60 Minutes" after more than 20 years on the job. Cooper received glowing media coverage for his voluntary departure in the wake of billionaire David Ellison's acquisition of CBS and installation of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief of CBS News.

    But Cooper and Weiss share more in common than they'd like to admit. As prominent queer media figures, they're both part of the media "overseer class," the subject and title of author Steven Thrasher's new book.

    Thrasher defines the overseer class as "a phenomenon in which people from marginalized populations amass power not by uplifting people from the communities they come from, but by collectively cracking the skulls of their own." Both Cooper and Weiss meet the criteria, albeit in different ways.

    This week, Katelyn and Christine sit down with Steven Thrasher to identify and critique the media "overseer class" and what we, the people, can do to challenge their structural power.

  • Right-Wing Media Is Dying (But Don't Celebrate Yet) (ft. Parker Molloy)

    Right-Wing Media Is Dying (But Don't Celebrate Yet) (ft. Parker Molloy)
    May 21 2026

    Ben Shapiro, Bari Weiss, and Jeff Bezos have the same problem: audience retention.

    Shapiro's Daily Wire podcast and the conservative website he co-founded are in a prolonged free fall.

    "CBS Evening News" viewership continues to plummet since Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss installed conservative puppet Tony Dokoupil as the flagship show's host. The Washington Post's bro-y "Make It Make Sense" podcast — their YouTube channel has just 615 subscribers (as of May 19).

    Does that number count if it includes Bezos and any of his alts?

    This week, Katelyn and Christine welcome Parker Molloy back to the show to discuss whether conservative media is dying out. The reasons why may surprise you!
