Bari Weiss

Bari Weiss, born on March 25, 1984, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a journalist and author known for her sharp opinions and fearless commentary on cultural and political issues. She made her mark as an op-ed staff editor at The New York Times, where her pieces often sparked fierce debates—and not a few controversies—about free speech and cancel culture. Weiss left the Times in 2020 with a fiery resignation letter that criticized the paper's "illiberal environment." Now, she’s the founder of Common Sense on Substack, where she continues to stir the pot, making her a lightning rod in modern journalism.
