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

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 ...

Progressive person still listens to him. He’s basically just a non-religious right winger.

And Maher had a Trump as a guest without screaming at her! like any True-Blue Prog would
