Bill Maher Praises New CBS Boss Bari Weiss for Forcing Right-leaning Overhaul at Network

Bill Maher Praises New CBS Boss Bari Weiss for Forcing Right-leaning Overhaul at Network — as Controversial Comedian Boasts About the 'New Free Press'

Beth Shilliday

Boisterous Bill Maher has proclaimed how thrilled he is that his "girl," Bari Weiss, has taken over as head of CBS News with a mandate to clean up the formerly ultra-woke division, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The Real Time host, 70, lamented over "leftists" during his Club Random podcast on Monday, November 24, saying he's already seeing news coverage that's "more fair" under Weiss' leadership.

'My Girl, Bari Weiss'

"You know, I find it very frustrating that I cannot get the full story anywhere in the old media," Maher lamented to guest Lara Trump.
"It’s very – I mean, I love the new Free Press. My girl Bari Weiss, who started that and now runs CBS. You know, you’re seeing a change there that’s more fair," the comedian explained about how the former New York Times opinion writer has already begun shaking things up.
Lara observed, "I think that’s very positive," about the new exec's move away from left-leaning coverage.

At the same time, Maher cheered the demise of two extremely left-wing outlets funded by U.S. taxpayers that President Trump's administration defunded earlier this year.

"I mean, I've been very tough on the media, and the biases, and I cry no tears that we’re losing NPR and PBS," Maher added.

There aren't many comments yet, 8 as of right now, but not one of them has pushed back against the statement that NPR and PBS are "extremely left-wing outlets ..."

I argue with NPR on LinkedIn quite a lot and they deny these types of claims vehemently, although they never answer my questions.  When even a DUmmie can see it ...

I remember, some years ago, a lefty was lecturing me on how my views on modern warfare were outdated. You see, it was perfectly acceptable to allow women and trans soldiers to serve in combat roles because the days of austere warfighting were over.

Yeah - no.

Greta Thunberg fined, banned from Venice after Extinction Rebellion dyes Grand Canal green

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been slapped with a 48-hour ban from entering Venice, Italy after joining Extinction Rebellion protesters in dyeing the Grand Canal bright green, according to reports.

The Swedish activist, 22, was also fined $172 along with roughly 35 other demonstrators involved in the action, per The Telegraph.

Extinction Rebellion said the dye used was a fluorescent, non-toxic tracer commonly employed in environmental studies, such as tracking water flows or monitoring leaks. The group reportedly insisted the dye posed no ecological threat.

Talk about major disrespect.  :mental: Terrorism plain and simple.

@PressSec
This story is completely made up.

In fact, when this Fake News published, I was in the Oval Office, where President Trump was meeting with his law enforcement team, including FBI Director Kash Patel.

I read the headline to the President and he laughed. He said: “What? That’s totally false. Come on Kash, let’s take a picture to show them you’re doing a great job!”

Do not believe the Fake News!

Trump weighing the ouster of Kash Patel, according to sources
Source: MS NOW/MSNBC News

Nov. 25, 2025, 1:53 PM EST

President Donald Trump is considering removing Kash Patel as FBI director in the coming months, as he and his top aides have grown increasingly frustrated by the unflattering headlines Patel has recently generated, according to three people with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity in order to speak freely.

Patel has come under scrutiny for his stewardship of bureau resources, including his girlfriend’s security detail and use of a government jet, and for his squabbles with other Trump loyalists. Trump and White House aides have confided to allies that the president is eyeing removing Patel and is considering top FBI official Andrew Bailey as the bureau’s new director, according to the three people.

Patel is described as being on thin ice and his ouster appears closer than ever, with Bailey as the logical replacement, two of the sources with knowledge of the situation said, though Trump could change his mind in the weeks to come. 

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson responded to MS NOW, saying, “President Trump has assembled the most talented and impressive Administration in history and they are doing an excellent job carrying out the President’s agenda. FBI Director Patel is a critical member of the President’s team and he is working tirelessly to restore integrity to the FBI.”

so you know it's going to happen, the sooner, the better, although he'll nominate someone even more incompetent, if that's possible.

In the real world, Patel is the best FBI Director in decades. Patel is just accomplishing things DUmies dislike.

Just in general.

Well, Patel might not be FBI Director a short 4 years from now. Or if VP Vance is elected POTUS, maybe ...

Marko Elez is the DOGE creep who said this and he still works for the Trump regime. So I guess Kash Patel is the target of such bigoted remarks too and he will just grin and bear it. Even Vice President Vance's wife, Usha, may not stand this any longer since her husband disrespected her and their children by defending Elez, among other things. How can any POC or any person deemed not Caucasian or deemed to be a member of a disfavored ethnic group work for this regime and not expect to be denigrated daily by all their bigoted coworkers? "Then they came for me..."

Failed Race Card play.

Greta Thunberg's Latest Environmental Stunt Will Make You Nauseous

Climate wactivist Greta Thunberg is at it again, and this time it appears she’s grown bored of protesting for Hamas and Gaza and has turned her attentions back to the environment once more. In order to highlight the concerns of the oh-so-delicate ecosystem, she decided to harm it.

And how did she and her comrades do that? They dyed the famed Grand Canal of Venice green. Certainly, the color is appropriate, because her antics are nauseating:

(Embedded X Post)

Thunberg and her fellow activists were having a snit fit over the COP30 environmental summit in Brazil and the failure of attending nations to hurt themselves with arbitrary restrictions due to the “climate crisis”:

Bill Maher Obliterates Leftist Media: 'I Don't Give Quarter to Leftists Who Constantly Downgrade America'

During a recent episode of Maher’s popular podcast Club Random, the stand-up comedian sat down with President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, and they chatted about a variety of subjects, including the political and societal interference China pushes in the U.S.

The most notable segment of the podcast came when Maher took an opportunity to put liberals on blast for helping that interference, saying, “I don’t give any quarter to the leftists who just constantly downgrade America.” Neither do I, Bill. Neither do I.

“It’s another reason why they hate me. I mean, this is what I said to him – your father-in-law in the text. It’s like, you know, if I’m so captured by the lunatic left, why do they hate me, too?” Maher said. He then noted that his take on many issues has created a fanbase for his program that sits “in the middle” and has “had enough of people in their bubble,” which he says includes those in “old” news media.

“You know, I find it very frustrating that I cannot get the full story anywhere in the old media. It’s very – I mean, I love the new Free Press,” Maher explained. “My girl Bari Weiss who started that and now she runs CBS. You know, you’re seeing a change there that’s more fair.”

18. You call AOC, Mamdani, and Bernie cows. ...

Is this a classic instance of quoting out of context, a Prog SOP? Or does Emile not know what the metaphor "Sacred Cow" means?

As best I can tell, Maher is a pragmatic liberal. He agrees with some/many liberal ideas, but is realistic enough to call out lib ideas and actions when they do not work. His realistic side might also be called "libertarian". Anyway, he's off the Prog-Dem Plantation, so off with his head!

For my part, I know I'm human and there are days I disagree with myself. So I'm not into perfection-or-nothing and take people as I find them - when they're right, they're right, and when they're wrong they're wrong.
