Right wing Bari Weiss given control of CBS with a mandate for 'balanced and fact-based' news

[Anonymous]

CBS News is planning to take another step to appeal to right-of-center viewers by installing Bari Weiss as editor in chief. CBS' new corporate owner, Skydance Media, is also acquiring The Free Press, Weiss' views-and-news site.

Weiss arrives with a mandate to redefine the CBS News brand in the eyes of the public and refine its news coverage. She is seen as a change agent for a network regularly accused by President Trump and his political allies of liberal bias.

Well another MS media “news” outlet is becoming Fox News. Guess it join the list of other media outlets controlled by the right wing- Twitter, TikTok, etc.

No broadcast experience? Huge chip on her shoulder? She is going to be kryptonite for CBS.

She's not conservative. But if she were, it should be okay for conservatives to have jobs in media.

Labels don't matter. She's an oligarch whisperer. What they want is what they will see.

Isn’t she dating Kate McKinnon, the SNL cast member and star of Ghostbusters ?

She is a vulgar opportunist and has tainted every org she’s ever touched. The NYT made a huge mistake in making her a ‘victim’ of woke culture. She was a terrible journalist but she gained unearned credibility from that disaster.

That is a picture of Kate McKinnon's sister. Weiss has said she had a relationship with McKinnon when they were in college, twenty years ago, before celebrity. Weiss is now married (2021) with kids.

How come Fox News doesn’t have to abide by the same rules as the rest of MS media?

What sort of wisdom does this Weiss character have? Doesnt seem to be mature enough or experienced enough for the role. She’ll be out in less than three years.
