Bari Weiss’s CBS News Welcomes Contributor With Epstein Ties

Bari Weiss’s variant of CBS News has opted to keep Peter Attia on as a network contributor, despite his recently revealed ties to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.Attia was named as an on-air contributor in January—one of 19 that Weiss said she was “so excited” to introduce to the broadcasting behemoth’s lineup just three weeks ago. CBS has not made its position on Attia public, but staffers who spoke with The Guardian indicated that the network intended to retain him as an on-air analyst.“Everyone internally unofficially concluded he was staying as of about a week ago,” one CBS News staffer told The Guardian.The celebrity wellness influencer shared hundreds of messages with Epstein throughout the 2010s—after the financier pleaded guilty to procuring a child for prostitution, according to files made public by the Justice Department late last month. A simple search for Attia’s name in the Epstein files trove returns 1,838 results. Some of the messages are superficially benign, relating to health guidance, while others hint at a darker truth.In a June 2015 email headed “fresh shipment,” Attia wrote to Epstein: “You [know] the biggest problem with becoming friends with you? The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul … ” The email included an image, though its contents were redacted by the DOJ.In another crass exchange with the convicted sex criminal, Attia cracked about the various health benefits of giving oral sex to women. “Pussy is, indeed, low carb,” Attia wrote to Epstein in February 2016. “Still awaiting results on gluten content, though.”In a message to Epstein’s assistant dated January 2016, Attia said that he goes into “JE withdrawal” when he fails to see him. A year later, he chose to spend time with the convicted sex trafficker instead of visiting his infant son, who had been hospitalized after entering cardiac arrest.Staffers at CBS News were reportedly frustrated by the decision to keep Attia on the company payroll.“We’re pissed off about it,” another unidentified CBS employee told The Guardian.In a lengthy public apology posted to X earlier this month, Attia described his outed communications with Epstein as “embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible.”Earlier this month, inside sources told the New York Post’s On the Money newsletter that Weiss had agonized over the decision of whether to keep Attia—in large part because she felt that “contrarian voices like his” were crucial to restructuring CBS News’s business model.

Steve Bannon Called Jeffrey Epstein “God,” New Text Messages Reveal

Steve Bannon Called Jeffrey Epstein “God,” New Text Messages Reveal

Former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon once called Jeffrey Epstein “God” during a text message exchange, newly released government files reveal.In May 2018, the two men were having a discussion about currency trading, in which Bannon praised Epstein’s financial acumen.“Bannon hammers; God shorts,” Bannon wrote.“I don’t think of myself that way,” Epstein replied.“I do,” said Bannon.A text message like this seems to go far beyond an exchange by a documentarian and his subject. Bannon built a close relationship with Epstein while ostensibly filming the billionaire financier and convicted sex offender for a documentary he was making. The files show that the pair would correspond often, with Epstein offering plane trips to Bannon and the two regularly meeting. Bannon offered Epstein advice on how to deal with increased negative publicity from 2017, when the two first met, through July 2019, when Epstein was charged with sex trafficking of minors.Bannon claims that all of this was part of his efforts to secure interviews from Bannon for the film.“I am a filmmaker and TV host with decades of experience interviewing controversial figures,” Bannon told The New York Times in a statement. “That’s the only lens through which these private communications should be viewed—a documentary filmmaker working, over a period of time, to secure 50 hours of interviews from a reclusive subject.”Bannon said in the statement that the documentary, which a spokesperson claims will be released later this year, would “destroy the very myths [Epstein] created.” But Bannon is hardly innocent of helping to build those “myths.” Was it necessary for Bannon to call Epstein “God”?The rest of the released texts and emails between Epstein and Bannon show the pair working together and maintaining a close friendship. Epstein offered to cover Bannon’s medical expenses, and the pair shared multiple meals together at Epstein’s mansion in Manhattan.At one point in 2018, Epstein told another associate, regarding Bannon, “We have become friends.” That same year, Epstein told Bannon, “Whatever you need, I’m in,” of Bannon’s efforts to advise far-right political parties around the world. Today, Bannon can claim all he likes about wanting to destroy Epstein’s myths, but he not only bought into them but also sought to assist and protect the sex criminal.
