**** off CBS... Paramount Officially Acquiring The Free Press and Making Bari 'Anti-Woke' Weiss CBS News Editor in Chief
Paramount Skydance will be officially acquiring The Free Press and hiring its founder Bari Weiss as editor in chief of its CBS News division, with the deal to be announced this coming Monday, according to a report by Puck’s Dylan Byers.
Prior to the merger with Paramount, Skydance CEO and founder David Ellison “quietly courted” Weiss to bring her on board for a potential high-profile gig with CBS, according to a report by Oliver Darcy.
Weiss was an editor and writer at The New York Times, covering political and culture topics, until she left in 2020 and launched a Substack newsletter, later renamed as The Free Press. Earlier in her career, Weiss was viewed as being aligned with the center-left but has moved rightward on certain issues, garnering praise in conservative circles for her critiques of “woke” liberal excesses at the Times, other media outlets, universities, and prominent progressive institutions.
The merger took on larger political implications in the wake of President Donald Trump’s re-election, due to his vociferous criticism of 60 Minutes and CBS News programs and reporters — not to mention the lawsuit he filed regarding an interview of then-Vice President Kamala Harris, which Paramount settled shortly before the merger went through.[/quote]

Her contribution to the media and opinion landscape has been nothing but malignant. She's a scourge against anyone who puts human rights before the project of a greater Israel and has the scalps on the wall to prove it. She wants to remake CBS News as something as far away from the network Don Hewitt served as possible, something very much like Fox News except more frivolous, more disdainful toward minorities, women and non-cisgendered. She is also extremely smug, ill-informed and hard to take in large doses (judging from her appearances on Real Talk with Bill Maher, who seems to worship her).
My hope is she washes out fast, but with the oligarch Larry Ellison in charge of CBS and all of Paramount now, we can probably expect many resignations and early retirements by principled journalists. I hate to think about it, but Scott Simon is probably not long for his job
Weiss is a Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!1111

I'd bet real money that the truth looks more like this:
'Earlier in her career, Weiss was viewed as being aligned with the center-left but she did not continue moving to the left on certain issues with the rest of the herd.'
