Longevity guru Dr. Peter Attia is stepping aside as a contributor to CBS News, after correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and the researcher and health media personality came to light in the release of the Epstein Files from the Department of Justice.

CBS News staff were informed of the decision Monday in a note from the network’s booking department, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Attia told CBS that he would be resigning effective immediately.

Attia was one of a number of high-profile contributors that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss brought on as part of her planned overhaul of the network news division, seeking to bring more voices into CBS’ linear and digital coverage.

1. "seeking to bring more voices into CBS' linear and digital coverage."

Sounds like they want more perverts in the media to help downplay the negativity behind pedophilia.

2. Good one

Bari!

3. How many Scaramuccis is that? LOL

[MLWR]

4. Heck of a job there, Bari.

[Torchlight]

5. Keep shaking this tree regardless of who falls out of it

For the story that was billed as never going anywhere as recently as three months ago, the more that comes out about this sordid mess, the more a lot of "respected" people get nervous and twitchy, hoping against hope that degenerate behavior is either ignored in the here and now, or pardoned at a later date.

6. Why would CBS fire

Somebody because they were named in a "democratic hoax". It's almost as if CBS is acknowledging their truth

7. How do you get to be a longevity guru at 52. I would think someone would need to demonstrate longevity

to be a longevity guru. Just making a lot of money talking about it I guess qualifies, kinda like "Dr. Phil"

8. But The Big Kahuna continues to be protected.

So how is it that multiple high-level people in politics and in business are being fired or forced to step down for simply having corresponded with Epstein and yet those who have been credibly accused of rape and other sordid sex crimes, i.e. Trump and Wexner, continue to skate free and are untouched?

Will we ever see equal justice under the law?

9. Seeking to bring more fascist voices into CBS' linear and digital coverage.

There. Fixed. And pedo fascists no less. What else would we expect from Bari Weiss, cofounder of Jews for Shitler.
