Bari Weiss to be paid $150 million and to be named editor-in-cheif of CBS news. Will report directly to David Elison and not to CBS news president or head of TV at Paramount

This is so fucked.
This btw is a real opinion piece on the publication that was sold for $150 million.

Wow she’s trash!
Two simultaneous gifs running my my head at the same time:
– blond mullet guy mouthing “what the fuuuuuuck”
– Kristen Bell gesturing “THIS is the bad place!”
Because seriously, what the fuck, this IS the bad place.
Idk if it was part of Project 2025 but MAGA/Republicans are doing a very good job of taking control of most media. They own X/Twitter, Meta, soon TikTok, CBS News has Ellison owning all of it. 33% of young adults get their news from TikTok. They are going to control what people see. All of it.
honestly thats crazy. Steve Wozniak the other guy who founded apple computers made less money
Dropping Paramount+ like I did with Disney+…. I’ll just have to watch Dexter and Star Trek on blu-ray.
Yuck
I feel like I should be like, “Oh no, what a sad day for news. This will just further push the Israeli propaganda machine in the US.”
But, I feel like it’s been like that already, so it’s not going to be much of a change.
oh good lord
WTF is going on with this country?
Oh good, more Israeli propaganda
I still can’t get over her and Kate McKinnon
Hooray, state tv!
Oh this is bleak
Bahahahaha
Between this and the disgusting defunding of PBS and NPR, the US is really not getting off this fascist ride
Really want to know what Kate McKinnon thinks about this lol
Both Ellison and Bari are staunch zionists and genocide supporters. Free press is constantly churning out articles claiming there’s no famine or war crimes.
Netanyahu is on tape saying they need to control every news outlet and social media platform.
Every outlet is going to be drowning in grotesque Israeli propaganda while censoring Palestinians.
She’s not doing anything important enough to warrant that kind of paycheck. This world is fucked.
Welcome to the USSR
If you haven’t already cancelled everything they are associated with, get on it
Cancelled my Paramount+ but I had paid for year in advance. Won’t be resubbing.
Non American here. Can someone give a little breakdown of who she is/why this is concerning?
All I know about her is that she’s pro Israel/a media figure.
😱🤮😱🤮😱🤮
Oh gross.
Horrifying
I used to DVR CBS Sunday Morning for years (and I used to set my vcr for it since I was a teen in the ’90s). I cancelled my series recording a few weeks ago. I only watch Colbert now.
I mean, does Bari Weiss actually have a following? This just seems like CBS is throwing away $150 mil for yuks and basically tanking their own news operation. The views aren’t gonna come like this.
Maga billy babies are going to buy up every platform they can.
Some Hollywood celebs are very wealthy. Julia Louis Dreyfus and Jamie Lee Curtis can me to mind… They should pool their money and buy some platforms first. Ellison wants WB/HBO. I hope they beat him to it.
Wtf.
