Bari Weiss

In an episode of The Barbara Gaines Show posted on Friday, former CBS’s Late Show host David Letterman was in old-man-yells-at-the-clouds mood as he lamented the impending cancellation of his old show and seethed over CBS News as now being run by “idiots” — ostensibly referring to Paramount Skydance chairman David Ellison and CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss — who’ve “eviscerated”…

Following an unscheduled, two-day soft launch thanks to the U.S. military action in Venezuela to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, Monday marked the first official episode of the new CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil that, aside from a teleprompter snafu, came off as refreshingly down-the-middle and normal. One might suggest normal might convey a feeling of boredom or staleness. But…

Along with the liberal media meltdowns that resulted from incoming CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil’s brief commentary Thursday about the state of the legacy media, the onslaught continued Friday and into the weekend following…

Sharyn Alfonsi’s hack job of a CECOT feature for 60 Minutes, pulled due to what could be charitably described as deficient reporting, has triggered a firestorm within the elitist media. But that’s not all. The report has now also triggered an “overhaul” of standards and procedures at CBS and 60 Minutes.

On Monday night, the now-infamous 60 Minutes segment pulled by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss seemed to have self-deported and aired up in Canada on Global TV, one of its broadcast networks. With it now available to the masses (thanks to social media), we can now give it a full viewing and not a she-said, she-said between Weiss and correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. Spoiler alert: the piece…

The firestorm over the editorial decision made by CBS News to pull a 60 Minutes segment on migrant detentions at CECOT, the notorious Salvadoran prison, rages on. The controversy has now spilled over to the CBS Evening News, which aired a report on the growing scandal.

With an appearance on Friday’s CBS Mornings, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss made her formal on-air debut on one of the network’s flagship newscasts and she made it count as it was to both promote Saturday’s airing of a town hall she had taped earlier this week with Erika Kirk and set the tone for what should be the network’s future of embracing a diversity of views.

CBS News remained in the headlines last week vis-à-vis comings and goings as editor-in-chief Bari Weiss further having a look under the proverbial hood. This time, we saw a date for the expected departure of CBS Evening News co-anchor Maurice DuBois and a reported desire to sign CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil to the PM chair, but most notable was a questionable decision…

There is something about the podcast world that encourages former network journalists to let the mask slip and reveal that they really were the liberal activists critics alleged they were all along. Former CBS anchor Connie Chung was the latest example, as she joined former ESPN and current Morning Joe talking head Pablo Torre on his Pablo Torre Finds Out Thursday show to…

In the latest media rumblings about Bari Weiss’s tenure thus far as CBS News editor-in-chief, The New York Post dished on the finale of CBS Saturday Morning with Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller while The Wall Street Journal revealed “a rallying cry” Weiss has clung to thus far in meetings in stating, “I wanna blow this up.”

In his indispensable Wednesday night dispatch at Puck News, Dylan Byers reported on the latest inside CBS News following layoffs of nearly 100 people and suggesting there’s more than smoke to rumors of editor-in-chief Bari Weiss expressing interest in having 60 Minutes correspondent/CNN host Anderson Cooper become the next CBS Evening News anchor.

It’s a question we have to ask too often: How stupid do the nation’s top journalists think we are? The New York Times tells us "The staff of 60 Minutes, the nation’s most-watched news program, view their coverage as firmly nonpartisan and reject criticism from President Trump and his allies who argue that it has a liberal slant."

In what will hopefully be the first of many welcome changes at CBS News in this Bari Weiss era, senior vice president for standards and practices Claudia Milne announced Thursday she would be leaving the company after having played leading roles in what our friends at the New York Post noted were “some of the network’s recent controversial, woke reporting” in recent years

Having former CNN media reporter-turned Substacker Oliver Darcy on once to freak out about Bari Weiss taking over CBS News was not good enough for PBS. It just had to do it again. On Tuesday, Darcy joined Amanpour and Company, where he had an epic meltdown over Weiss, the Trump administration, and conservative critiques of the news media.
