>According to media watchdog Status, Weiss is eager to launch a media counter-offensive. She’s been in talks with the New York Times’ Michael Barbaro about appearing on “The Daily” podcast—a choice that reveals her strategy: find a friendly interviewer willing to let her explain away the wreckage.
>As Oliver Darcy is reporting, Weiss, who counts Barbaro as “a friend and admirer,” even floated his name earlier this year as a potential addition to “CBS Mornings.” Now she’s leveraging that relationship for what amounts to a high-stakes PR intervention.
>However, multiple sources told Status that Weiss has been advised against doing the “blockbuster sit-down,” with some executives pumping the brakes because David Ellison’s $111 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery is still pending,
>Paramount executives are reportedly worried Weiss might complicate the acquisition, because they want to “avoid as much media scrutiny as possible—and such a media appearance would not help.”
>Behind the scenes, Weiss has reportedly been conducting an ongoing charm offensive. She’s held off-the-record phone calls with journalists over recent months and met privately with media figures.
Guess screwing around with journalists wasn’t a very Weiss idea.
“if I could just get my side of this terrible, avoidable story out…”
Of course Barbaro is an admirer. His brand of affected stupid slaps hard.
Criminal

Just getting one of the sycophants to spread her/the bs
Fox News will probably give her the kind of interview she’s looking for
She doesn’t care. She was hired to do exactly what she’s doing. This headline makes it sound as she actually cares.
Gaslighting Obfuscation Projection
Oh the irony. The woman who built a whole brand on anti-cancel culture and being unbothered now needs a carefully curated safe space media tour to fix her vibe? Classic.
“listen, i didn’t nuke the station and fire everyone who is even a teeny tiny bit critical of our dear leader to suck up; i just really really really hate journalism and integrity”
I hope CBS is losing billions
You are accurately judged for your actions, you just happen to be garbage.
Get over it or change.
Who would listen, read, or care what the interview says. We already know what her claimed position is, “it’s all economics, I’m righting the ship.” Just like we all know that’s a total load of bullshit. She also isn’t particularly charming so I don’t see a charm offensive playing well for her.
Good luck with that, Sparky
