Bari, why did you think announcing a pause with no reason would go over better than just pausing with no announcement? This "Note from Bari" just invites speculation.

I’d ask for a refund of my FP subscription but I know they won’t give me one. You honestly think they’ll go against the Ellisons and their loyalty to Trump. Especially now with the Warner Bros matter and Netflix.

I hope that this pause is Honestly is not a metaphor.

When I heard about your move to CBS News, I had a feeling something would have to give. I am going to keep a candle burning in anticipation of your interviews coming back to HONESTLY. Remember to nurture your family and your soul through all this. xo

I am very sad about this. I understand it but I do not like it. Bari you are an interviewer and podcaster par excellence. As your job expands protect your mental, physical health, and marriage.

I am very sad. Bari you are an excellent interviewer truly the best podcaster I have had the privilege of listening to. I wish you well protect yourself and your marriage from overwork.

Bari, I am rooting for you as you continue in your role at CBS. Sad that Honestly is taking a break, but I'll be listening to the other podcasts and tuning in to watch Rafaela crush those livestreams.

P L E A S E remove Margaret Brennan from Face the Nation. She is too emotional and her liberal bias prevents her from framing issues and questions in an intellectually challenging manner.

Bari, I have great respect for you. I loathe all of the CBS woke crybabies who slander you. I hope you stay tough. Follow your gut and kick some ass. I worked at CBS News long ago and at other news orgs for 30 years. I'm retired now. Pls fire Alfonsi if you havent already. In the old days, an unhappy employee took it up internally, not all over the f-in world. Onward! You're doing good stuff.

In 2026 can Bari finally stop CBS from making in kind contributions to the DNC?

Prediction: Honestly comes back under the auspices of another host. Bari needs insulation from the unglinching beast she's created. It was predictable, really.

As you know, Bari, good CEOs *always* have a succession plan in place. Given that you don't--not for Honestly--I'm left to speculate that in your current position with CBS, you're wondering whether the pod can continue along on its fearless path.

You could have given your faithful readers more than. "We'll be back." Spoken like an executive, not the person who's uniquely given us all access to the thinking that informs her opinions.

By the way, although the pod is free, it's the reason I subscribed to FP. In light of your career path, its hiatus is troubling.
