Bari Weiss quit The New York Times last year after growing tired of its liberal bias
She launched her podcast Honestly on Wednesday - it will look at cancel culture and the dangerous effect it is having on America
Weiss, during an interval in the podcast, spoke briefly about leaving the Times
She said 'tragically, editors live in total fear of an internet mob'
She also said publishers 'know what's right but can't find the courage to do it'
Weiss said their leadership 'ferments polarization, rage and distrust' and made it 'impossible to tell the truth as a journalist'
