Bari Weiss, co-founder and CEO of The Free Press, has been appointed CBS News’ editor-in-chief, Paramount announced on Monday. The Free Press will now operate under the company as well.It’s a major move from the company, which merged with Skydance Corp. in August under CEO David Ellison. Under Ellison, the company has made several strategic acquisitions and is reportedly exploring acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery.“This move is part of Paramount’s bigger vision to modernize content and the way it connects – directly and passionately – to audiences around the world,” Ellison said in a statement. “We believe the majority of the country longs for news that is balanced and fact-based, and we want CBS to be their home.”
Although she's really a centrist (if you bothered to read her Substack blog you'd already know this), Weiss is more known for being a Zionist, calling out cancel culture and for being anti-woke, so of course the Left is having a collective hissyfit over this hire. Be interesting to see what if any big names she brings on to CBS like say a Matt Taibbi or Glenn Greenwald.
